Alright, gather around everyone, because today we’re diving into the thrilling world of Dhe Puttu Qatar—the spot where your taste buds might be mildly entertained, but your wallet definitely won’t be.
So, we thought we’d try the hype (because who doesn’t want to eat a Mambhaza Puttu, right?) and ordered a variety of dishes. We were feeling adventurous: Mambhaza Puttu, a mango-based delight (or so they claim), a classic Puttu with Beef Curry* combo, BBQ, appam, and so on. But here’s the thing—when the bill arrived, my stomach wasn’t the only thing feeling bloated. Oh no, my wallet was too. The prices? Let’s just say, I could’ve taken a flight to a different country for that amount.
Poll #1:
Let’s talk about the Mambhaza Puttu first. It’s supposed to be this grand, mango-flavored masterpiece, but honestly, it tasted like mango-flavored disappointment with a sprinkle of “Why did I pay 35 riyals for this?” The quantity? Decent. The price? A slap in the face.
Then, the Puttu with Beef Curry combo arrived. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love a good beef curry (who doesn’t?), but this combo felt like they just grabbed some beef, threw it in some curry, and decided, “Hey, let’s call this gourmet and charge 40 riyals.” The combo was just… well, normal. Nothing groundbreaking. Nothing that made me think, “This is worth 40 riyals!” The beef was tender, but not enough to justify those digits on the menu.
Poll #2:
Now, let’s talk BBQ. If you’re expecting some smokey, saucy, melt-in-your-mouth BBQ, think again. It was… well, BBQ. But just BBQ. You know, the kind you can throw together at home with a bit of seasoning and some grill time? Same vibe, but with a price tag that made me wish I was back at my backyard BBQ grill.
Ah, but the Appam and Porotta were the shining stars of this meal. I’ll admit, they were delicious. Soft, warm, and comforting in that way only a good Appam can be. If only the rest of the menu followed suit! Honestly, if Dhe Puttu Qatar just served Appam and Porotta, I’d probably still recommend them. But no, they have to complicate things with over-priced combos that leave you questioning the meaning of life (and your bank balance).
Poll #3:
The Duck Curry deserves its own paragraph because it was a letdown of epic proportions. Picture this: You’ve been dreaming of that rich, flavorful duck, right? Instead, it was just basic. Super basic. The quantity was a little sad, and I left wondering if the duck got a chance to experience all its potential before it ended up on my plate.
Poll #4:
Now, here’s the real kicker. The packaging. I mean, sure, we’re not expecting Michelin-level boxes, but when you’re dropping 40 riyals on a dish, the packaging better make me feel like I’m holding a piece of luxury. Instead, it was just *normal*. No gold-plated boxes, no fancy design—just the kind of packaging that said, “Yeah, we know we’re overpriced, but here’s your food anyway.”
Poll #5:
All in all, Dhe Puttu Qatar left me with mixed feelings. The food was okay, the prices were way too high, and the experience was… just average. Not bad, not amazing—just… meh. I wanted to love it, I really did, but when the cost doesn’t align with the quality, you’re left with that unsatisfying feeling of, “I could’ve spent this money elsewhere and had a much better time.”
Poll #6:
In conclusion, the next time someone says, “Let’s go to *Dhe Puttu Qatar*,” I’ll be the one in the back of the group nodding and pretending I didn’t just see the price of a Puttu with Beef Curry. I mean, sure, the appam is great, but I’d rather not have to sell a kidney to afford it.

Poll #10:
Would I recommend it? Maybe for a special occasion where you’ve forgotten the concept of budget, or if you really, REALLY want to try that Mambhaza Puttu for reasons I can’t fully understand. But for the average foodie looking for a satisfying experience without the shock to the wallet? Probably not.
