City Center Doha’s west food court which was closed down after a small fire in March last year, has reopened with a new look.
Four of over a dozen food chains in the court have been serving customers since Friday. They include KFC, Hardees, Attila and Shater Abbas.
Other stalls yet to open include Burger King, McDonald’s, Pizza Hut and Arby’s.
“We opened on Friday just in time for Eid holidays,” said an employee of one restaurant, adding they served many customers during the first three days after opening because of Eid holidays.
The court was shut after fire broke out in the kitchen of one stall. Nobody was reported injured. The cinema was also closed for a while.
The long closure was due to general facility upgrades and many said it was worth the wait as the refurbished court only boasts of cozy attractive ambience but also provides new and varied seating for people who dine individually or in groups.
“At least I won’t anymore go to Villaggio to enjoy my favourite food,” said a customer who lives in the nearby West Bay.
The west food court had been popular with food lovers and served more customers than the east food court since it is just beside the Grand Cine Center, where 14 cinemas are located.
But after it closed, stalls at the east food court witnessed good business, especially during weekends.
The reopening of the court is an additional treat for food lovers as a couple of new stalls, including Broaster and Captain Billy’s Fish and Chips, have joined the line-up of restaurants to provide diners with more options.
