Chapati with Honey QAR 5.00 (~S$1.85)
Taste: 8/10
I enjoyed the texture of the rolled chapati that was made-to-order. Its outer layer was crispy, but overall it was nicely chewy. I was hoping to have a bit more of the sweet honey.

Chapati with Egg and Cheese QAR 8.00 (~S$2.95)
Taste: 8.5/10
For something savoury, you may want to try the egg and cheese chapati. Lightly seasoned with salt and pepper, the egg was done omelette style. It came with a generous amount of melted cheese.

Karak (Large) QAR 5.00 (~S$1.85)
Taste: 7.5/10
Served piping hot, the karak chai was smooth and undoubtedly fragrant. I could taste the robustness of the spices from the first sip. However, I felt that the amount of sugar could be reduced. It grew too sweet towards the end. Pika's advice: I've never tried Karak Coffee, but if you're interested, you can try their iced-only version for a price of QAR 15.00 (~S$5.55).
