Twinky Sterling
Twinky is Qatar’s answer to the American fast food outlets that have opened here in recent years. It’s pretty good, and it specializes in hamburgers and chicken. The logo looks suspiciously like the Pillsbury doughboy.
Note the apartments on the second floor. Workers from the shops below live here, as well as in an apartment building out back. Not all workers in Doha live in such close proximity to their place of employment, but most do. This helps to ease some of the traffic congestion that is the inevitable result of growth. Road construction is happening everywhere these days.

Droool! It's been years since I've eaten a halal restaurant hamburger! How are the prices? Probably way cheaper than in the states.
The international chains are somewhat cheaper here than in the states, e.g. a McD's "happy meal" is 10 rials... about $2.70.
The independents, like Twinky, are cheaper still, half price or less. A large part of the reason is cheap labor and no taxes.
