After the successful operation of Spice and Sizzle Restaurant at Midmac Roundabout and Punjab Restaurant in Musheireb area, well-known Pakistani entrepreneur Jamshaid Iqbal Bhatti has launched Zaoq & Ziafat, a premium dining restaurant located at Ezdan Mall, Al Gharafa.
"We have the pleasure to take over Zaoq Restaurant from the previous owner and rebrand it as Zaoq & Ziafat Restaurant. The interior and exterior have undergone extensive renovation and with a brand new design that has transformed the place into an aesthetically pleasing premium dining space for families,” said CEO of Zaoq & Ziafat Zeeshan Bhatti, the eldest son of Jamshaid Iqbal Bhatti.
Jamshaid Bhatti, who is the managing director of his group of restaurants including Punjab, Spice & Sizzle, and Zaoq & Ziafat, arrived in Qatar in 1967. While his primary business is related to construction and transportation, he has been into his business for more than four decades running them successfully.
Jamshaid is assisted by his two sons, Zeeshan Bhatti and Farhan Bhatti, in running different business houses.
Zeeshan’s grandfather Haji Mohammad Tufail arrived in Doha in 1955 and set up Al Fardan Exchange and later Al Sadd Exchange. "My grandfather has the honour of establishing the first Pakistani school in Doha where my grandmother, Ulfat Shehnaz, served as a principal. We are in the culinary business to pursue our passion and not just to make money,” noted Zeeshan.
The grand launch event was attended by ambassadors, dignitaries, officials of different forums and members of the local media. The guests were treated to the restaurant’s signature dishes. Prominent among those who attended the event were Ambassador of Moldova HE Prof Dr Victor Tvircun, Ambassador of Cuba HE Oscar Gonzalez, Managing Director of Kingston Visa Services (Turkish) Afsin, Member of Belgian Business Community Johan Winters, Principal of Bright Future International School Ali Zulqarnain, Branch Manager of Doha Bank Zahid Mahfooz, renowned Pakistani writer and author Ashraf Siddiqui, and a group of senior doctors from Hamad Medical Corporation.
"Zaoq and Ziafat will be known for the delicious serving of authentic Pakistani and Mughlai cuisine. We are determined to serve the finest taste without compromising on quality. We have handpicked a new team of finest chefs and support staff from different cities of Pakistan,” added Zeeshan.
"Thanks to the well-earned reputation of our brand (Spice & Sizzle and Punjab Restaurant) with our customers, we were able to survive during the difficult times of the coronavirus pandemic. Our hardworking and resilient team will continue to innovate and add on more diversity to the restaurant’s offerings,” he said.
Having indoor and outdoor seating arrangements, the restaurant can accommodate more than 150 guests at a time and is also available for private events. From stunning interiors to an array of menu options to choose from, Zaoq and Ziafat offers traditional dishes from Pakistan presented with a modernistic approach.
"Drawing on the diversity of Pakistani cuisines, our a la carte menu is skillfully crafted and visually sophisticated and engaging, lending each dining experience as a unique culinary journey. Our menu features both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes,” informed Zeeshan.
Zaoq and Ziafat also offers event arrangements at the restaurant. "Whether it is celebration of birthday parties, wedding celebrations, high-profile business gathering or gala dinner, we pride ourselves in our skills of organising special moments,” remarked Zeeshan.
