Dusit Hotel Doha and Dusit Hotel & Suites Doha has announced the expansion of their admired dining portfolio with the launch of Qureshi Bukhara Express and Taste by Benjarong at Place Vendome Mall. Building upon the success of their flagship restaurants in West Bay, these new venues bring the rich flavours of India and Thailand to a broader audience, enhancing the shopping experience with signature five-star dining at one of Qatar’s premier retail destinations.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was a significant occasion led by Ahmed Mahdi Al Majed, Chairman of Al Majed Group Holding; Raghu Menon, Area General Manager – Qatar, India and Nepal for Dusit Hotels & Resorts; Mohammed Ashfaque Qureshi, CEO at Grand Cuisines of India; and Jacob V. Jacob, Vice President of Finance & Administration at Al Majed Group. Honoured guests included HE Siva Swangsilpa, the Ambassador of Thailand to Qatar, and Sandeep Kumar, Deputy Chief of Mission of India to Qatar, along with executives from Place Vendome and select VIP guests.
Rooted in the rich legacy of the Qureshi family, Qureshi Bukhara Express brings the artistry of North Indian flavours directly to Place Vendome Mall. This culinary experience draws from a 200-year-old tradition spearheaded by the Qureshi brothers, renowned for their mastery of korma, kebabs, and the timeless methods of tandoor and dum cooking. Here, guests can savour authentic Indian barbecue, kebabs, and freshly baked bread crafted in an on-site tandoor oven to capture the essence of the Qureshi Bukhara at Dusit Hotel and Suites Doha in West Bay. Chef Mohammed Irfan Qureshi, who has honed his culinary skills under the guidance of his father, Chef Imtiaz Qureshi, has become an expert in traditional North Indian cuisine. He plays a pivotal role in maintaining the authenticity of these cherished recipes and continues the family’s dedication to excellence in every dish.
Taste by Benjarong offers an approachable yet authentic Thai experience rooted in the royal Thai traditions that define Benjarong, the signature restaurant at Dusit Hotel Doha in West Bay. Under the guidance of Chef Somruethai Suksamai, affectionately known as Chef Ninja for her extraordinary speed in the kitchen, the culinary team presents a menu adapted for the food court setting yet rich with genuine Thai flavours sourced directly from Thailand’s most biodiverse regions. Guests can experience the refined simplicity of Thai cuisine, rooted in the heritage of the Kingdom of Siam, all served with warm, genuine hospitality from an all-Thai team.
This expansion into Lusail aligns with Dusit’s vision to bring world-class hospitality beyond the hotel walls and into the community. With delivery available through popular apps, Qureshi Bukhara Express and Taste by Benjarong offer convenient access to authentic Indian and Thai cuisine for those living in the Lusail area and guests enjoying a day of shopping and entertainment at Place Vendome.
Both Dusit Doha Hotel and Dusit Hotel & Suites Doha are owned by Al Majed Group Holding, a family-owned Qatari conglomerate with a legacy of excellence since 1943. The expansion into Place Vendome Mall reinforces their commitment to bringing exceptional, world-class dining experiences to the Qatari market, inviting guests to embark on a culinary journey through the rich flavours of India and Thailand, all within Qatar’s vibrant landscape.
