Come and meet Chef Erbil, the absolute genius behind Uzman Turkish Restaurant. He designed the restaurant, the menu, and the kitchen. He trained and cherishes his team, and he delivers an absolutely faultless service. Seriously! I can find no fault whatsoever in what he has created.

For those visiting Qatar or perhaps if you have a long transit time between flights at HIA.
