Indian Coffee House, Indian restaurant and café in Doha, Qatar
Indian Coffee House is an Indian restaurant and café in Doha, Qatar, serving dishes from across the Indian subcontinent alongside hot and cold drinks. The space is divided into a full dining section and a separate café area, both served from the same kitchen.
The Indian Coffee House in Doha was opened as part of CAN International Group's expansion into the restaurant sector, with backing from Sheikh Jassim Bin Ahmed Al Thani. The concept draws on the legacy of the Indian Coffee House cooperative movement, which began running worker-owned cafés across India from the mid-20th century onward.
The Indian Coffee House follows the tradition of cooperative-style coffee houses that have been part of Indian social life for generations. Visitors can notice the relaxed pace of the place, where people linger over chai and South Indian snacks rather than rushing through a meal.
The place is open throughout the day, making it easy to stop by for an early breakfast or a late dinner without needing to plan around fixed sittings. Those who only want a drink or a snack can head straight to the café section, which has its own seating separate from the main dining room.
The name Indian Coffee House refers to a network of worker cooperatives in India that has been serving affordable meals and filter coffee in simple rooms for decades. The Doha location carries that same spirit of accessibility into a very different city.
