Starting off with a stall in an exhibition in 2001, Shams has come a long way in building one of the most successful restaurants in the country. Shay Al Shoomos now stands as the premier destination for traditional Qatari food as it gets invariably crowded with 300 people going in and out during its busiest hours. Shay Al Shoomos spans the size of 6 coffee shops and welcomes travelers from all around the world with bloggers from Russia, Brazil, Italy, and Japan among others, all praising her success and her food.
