After enjoying a delightful seafood night at IKA South American in Aleph Doha Residences, I decided to indulge in their Friday brunch last weekend. The brunch package prices were QR 249 for the all-you-can-eat feast with soft beverages and QR 369 with house beverages.( Buy one get one free on Entertainer, Urban point and my book)
