Jamavar Doha

Jamavar is the Doha outpost of a small international group of Indian restaurants, and it holds one Michelin star in the 2026 Michelin Guide for Doha. It sits inside the Sheraton Grand Doha at the northern end of the Corniche in West Bay, in a smart dining room that mixes modern and traditional Indian décor.

The menu is extensive and covers regions right across India rather than a single style. Dishes the Michelin inspectors highlight include Old Delhi butter chicken, Kerala-style beef and lamb chops from the tandoor, and they praise both the quality of the ingredients and the careful, well-judged spicing. With such a long menu, it pays to order a mix of small plates, a tandoor dish and a curry to share, with breads and rice on the side, and to ask the staff for guidance on heat levels if you are unsure.

Jamavar opens every day for lunch from 12.30pm to 5pm and for dinner from 6pm to midnight, which makes it a flexible option if you want a late meal or a long lunch. Reservations are handled directly by the restaurant, and booking ahead is wise for dinner, especially at weekends. Allow around two hours. Smart casual dress fits the room. There is a car park and valet parking at the hotel.

The restaurant suits couples, families and groups who like to share, as well as business travellers staying in West Bay. Vegetarians are usually well served by Indian menus of this breadth, but check specific dishes with your server. As the restaurant is inside a large hotel, ask when booking about drinks service if that matters to you.

A Michelin star marks high-quality cooking, and Jamavar is one of only three restaurants in Doha to hold one in the 2026 guide, alongside IDAM at the Museum of Islamic Art and Alba at Raffles Doha, so it is a sensible booking for anyone planning a special meal in the city.

The Sheraton Grand Doha is on the Corniche at the West Bay end, so it is easy to pair dinner with a walk along the waterfront promenade or a look at the West Bay skyline after dark. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are the simplest way to arrive, and the hotel's own parking makes driving straightforward.
