Expanding their presence further in Doha’s vibrant dining scene, Aura Retail and Palma Hospitality Group recently opened three new outlets: Debs W Remman, La Casa Twenty Eight restaurants and Mokarabia coffee bar, all located in the picturesque settings of Medina Centrale, The Pearl, Qatar.

Debs W Remman is a 300-seat Lebanese casual dining concept – dubbed as the “Ambassador of the Levant Cuisine” – that recreates the atmosphere of the old streets and souqs of Beirut. Manned by Chef Bashir Zeitouni, the restaurant serves a wide variety of traditional dishes that capture the essence of authentic Lebanese cuisine.

A unique 250-seat casual dining Mediterranean bakery and steakhouse, La Casa Twenty Eight serves delightful Mediterranean-inspired cuisine under the watchful eye of Executive Chef Errico Gabriele, while the Mokarabia Café, famous for its high-quality coffee blends, serves exotic coffee creations along with healthy salads, tantalizing sandwiches and desserts.

Commenting on the launch, Mr. Charbel Mhanna, General Manager of Palma Hospitality Group, said, “The three new outlets will offer guests an entirely new level of dining experience, and will serve a variety of authentic, fresh and delicious food that promises to raise the bar for culinary excellence and personalized service and keep customers coming back for more.”

He added, “Medina Centrale is the perfect location in which to unwind and spend quality time with family and friends, and residents and visitors hanging out at this popular hotspot needn’t look any further than Debs W Remman, La Casa Twenty Eight and Mokarabia for a pleasant and enjoyable dining experience - whether you plan to grab a quick bite to eat, enjoy a celebratory meal with your loved ones, or simply fancy an exclusive coffee blend.”

Mr. Wesam Al Badawi, Managing Director of Aura Retail, said, “2015 is an important year for our group in terms of the continued investment and expansion of our project portfolio. Along with Aura Retail as investor, Palma Hospitality Group has been busy planning and finalizing several
