Qatar's traditional cuisine has been strongly influenced by migrants from Iran and India, and more recently North Africa.
Coffee is extremely important in Qatari culture. Arabian coffee is of a very high quality and made from a lightly roasted bean spiced with cardamom and either sweetened or served with dates. It is drunk in small, thimble-like cups in homes and offices.
