About us

We believe that we have contributed to the success of Qatar in a significant way, by putting Qatar on the world map of the “Best Restaurants of the World”.

No success can come without a vision, the vision of Al Mourjan is to create something unique tailor made for Qatar, absolute the best restaurants around the world, which we already have achieved. Al Mourjan’s success goes back to the company vision, company philosophy and continuous professional development of our human resources. We take great pride in our human resources; we develop them into unique professionals. Al Mourjan key assets are its intellectual and human capital. We are home to exceptional talent, our personnel are not just skilled, but possess market expertise. Al Mourjan provides a culture that ensures both the professional and personal growth of individuals. That is why you’ll find enthusiastic, highly charged professionals working in our restaurants.

When we started, we set out to create the best Lebanese restaurant in the region. We travelled and conducted years of research and benchmarking of the best signature restaurants available so we could be sure that our cuisine would be the highest caliber. We embraced a phenomenal opportunity and transcended a landmark property to its fullest potential. Powerful branding and intelligent public relations were essential components required to succeed.

The difference and our secret to success can be entirely attributed to vision. We stepped back, did some out-of-the box thinking, retained the beauty and authenticity of the property while injecting a more welcoming and enjoyable ambiance maximizing the property’s experiential potential.

Our team, of course is an essential ingredient in our success menu as well. We have hand selected the best chefs to operate our kitchens, that have created a level of excellence for our phenomenal cuisine.

People are always looking for positive experiences, Mourjan has become synonymous with a place you come to leave your worries behind. We have a lot of business functions and deals being made over lunches and dinners, but the key is that everyone can’t help but feel relaxed at Mourjan and they can be assured that their guests, whether friends or clients will be suitably impressed with the cuisine and service.

There is always a market for quality. The best restaurants around the world stand the test of time. We have remained true to our commitment to excellence and quality – regardless of the expense. We never cut corners in the development or the operation of Al Mourjan.

The driving force behind Al Mourjan is the owner, Mr. Nasser Abdulaziz Al Mesalam, and the vision that he has created for the company, the vision of creating a unique restaurant concept for Qatar and the region. Now this restaurant has become the best restaurants in the world.

Al Mourjan’s success must be attributed to each team member who tirelessly delivers their best every day. Hospitality is a challenging industry and the role of every member of the team is critical to consistently delivering excellence. We applaud our team who work from their hearts and pull together shift after shift to deliver a special experience for our guests.

One of the biggest achievements that we have accomplished is that we are the only restaurant in the region that gets reservations from all over the world, we have had reservations from the U.S, from across Europe, from the Far East and even from Latin America, and this is by far one of our most important achievements.

Al Mourjan is Qatar’s leading restaurant favored by the international corporations, international delegations, diplomatic missions, heads of state, and royalties from all around the world. It’s also a favorite hangout for international celebrities when visiting Doha. As a result of our vision and hard work, we have become a Landmark in Qatar.

We are today one of the Landmarks in Qatar, you cannot visit Doha without coming to experience the brilliance of Al Mourjan. But by far the best award that we keep receiving is when a customer bids us farewell saying it is the best restaurant he or she has been to. We motivate our staff by EMPOWERING them, by making them believe they can do more and better, that they can develop themselves to a level of excellence. We make them understand that this development is not only important for the company, but also for their own personal good, which is basically a very important part of the philosophy that we teach in the company, we teach them that the only way forward in life is thru self and professional development.

Our future aspirations are to expand but at the same time to keep our level of excellence intact.
