Nobu Doha

Nobu Doha is the Qatari branch of the global Nobu group, set inside the Four Seasons Hotel Doha on Al Dafna Street in West Bay. The brand grew from the partnership of chef Nobu Matsuhisa and actor Robert De Niro, and its cooking is known as Japanese-Peruvian, pairing Japanese technique with South American chilies, citrus and sauces. The Doha restaurant holds a Michelin Plate in 2025. The signature dishes are the same ones that made the brand famous worldwide: black cod with miso, which has become the emblematic Nobu plate, yellowtail with jalapeno, and rock shrimp tempura. Diners also order sushi, sashimi, tacos and hot dishes from the long menu, and set omakase-style menus are an option for those who prefer the kitchen to choose. The room is stylish and lively, with low lighting, dark wood and a steady hum of conversation; it attracts business groups, hotel guests and couples, and the noise level rises on Thursday and Friday nights. Smart casual dress is the norm. Because the venue is a licensed hotel restaurant, alcohol is served, including sake, wine and cocktails, which sets it apart from most Doha restaurants outside hotels. Evening service runs Monday to Saturday from about 18:00, the restaurant is closed on Sunday, and a Friday brunch has been reported from 13:00 to 16:00, although hours should be verified before visiting. Prices run to roughly QAR 450 to 900 per person for a typical meal, with tasting menus and drinks pushing the bill higher. Reservations are advised, especially for Thursday and Friday evenings, when tables can be hard to secure at short notice; booking a few days to a week ahead is sensible, and longer for groups. West Bay is a short drive from the Corniche and the city's business district, and the hotel offers valet parking and taxi access at its entrance.
