Good food and stories are the golden threads that connect us in life. At Kai’s Songbird on the ground floor of the Corinthia Yacht Club, you’ll find a place to share both — as well as destination dining unique to Qatar.

As the sister restaurant to London icon Kai of Mayfair, Kai’s Songbird’s signature ‘liberated Nanyang cooking’ style has a global reputation, combining authenticity with culinary daring to create fusion experiences that define modern Chinese cuisine.

Kai’s Songbird sings from a new bough for the first time in Doha in a stunning glass-fronted restaurant whose aesthetics evoke the natural beauty of a conservatory. Here, light lunches and relaxed dinners of flavours — at once familiar and intriguing — are enjoyed, against the soft patter of conversation and the scent of herbs, creating a balance of sensory joy and moments to savour.

    Food as always was good. Ambiance was poor as very few people in on a Monday. Not like a Friday where ir was great. A glass of wine was expensive and as the bottle had been opened the previous day the wine had nasty aftertaste

    Beautiful restaurant, amazing food, great service! Kai’s Songbird is a stunning restaurant by the water with terrific tasty food and very warm service. We are fans of Kai Mayfair and it is nice to see them finally spreading the love! We had the yellowtail Yu Sang, wagyu beef wantan, grilled octopus , sea bass with black bean sauce and sweet and sour cauliflower. Everything was tasty and delicious and I couldn’t choose one dish over any of the others, to be honest. I would however recommend some rice to make the most of the moreish sauces. Although we are not big dessert eaters, the petit fours were just right to finish off the meal. As we had just come off a long flight, we chose 2 mocktails over alcoholic options. One is watermelon based, the other is called Lychee Fog. Both were refreshing and delicious but my vote goes to the watermelon for the complexity which made it more interesting. The staff were all so welcoming, warm, knowledgeable and very pleasant to engage with. Thank you to Lucas, KC and KC who so kindly shared the inspiration and thought process behind each dish. Last but not least, the ambience. How do I even begin to describe the space? It is truly gorgeous with something interesting every where you look and all pulled together so tastefully. Seats are comfortable. The privacy booths serve their purpose yet you don’t feel cut off from the action. A good playlist completed the vibe which is relaxed yet dynamic. Our only regret is that it was still too hot for us to sit at the plant filled terraces. Looks like we’ll be back in the winter!

    The food was wonderful. The service was impeccable. Perhaps a better selection of wine by the bottle would help. But wine by the glass was ok Valet parking service was good also. Pity that smokers were present in the balcony area. Foul cigar overs should be discouraged But main dinning room was good.

    The most outstanding is the interior for sure but what i personally liked is the ambience of the place with lots of plants and warm lights it serves a very cozy vibe which was perfect to soend our dinner date as a couple. The food was phenomenal to say the least. The staff made us welcome right from the start and service was exquisite.

    Great food and presentation. Slight problem with reservation’s management. We called and the receptionist told us that they were fully booked. However it showed availability on open table and we booked online. When we arrived they only had 4 tables with customer - so definitely not fully booked.

    Our experience at Kai's was wonderful. From the reception until we left the restaurant we were welcomed and taken care of with all the attention. The decoration and outdoor area are beautiful. We seated outside as the night was pleasant and we were served by Fábio who made sure that our experience was exquisite by commenting the dishes we choose, making suggestions, explaining the menu and paying attention to small details like bringing a wet tissue immediately when we dropped some hot chocolate on the table. The taste and presentation of the dinner was amazing. Definitely a restaurant to visit and recommend.
