Qatar Duty Free recognizes local culinary talent with new Hamad International openings
Qatar Duty Free has underlined its commitment to supporting homegrown talent and offering passengers a taste of the country’s culture through food with new openings - Daily Chef Noof and Slicy - at Hamad International Airport.
Daily Chef Nouf: Authentic Qatari Cuisine with a Modern Touch
A leading figure in Gulf culinary arts, Chef Noof Al Marri has dedicated her career to preserving and innovating traditional Qatari dishes. Known for her bestselling cookbooks, international television appearances, and refined dining experiences, she has become one of the region’s most respected culinary ambassadors.
Located in QDF’s Concourse A Food Park, Daily Chef Noof brings her unique culinary vision to life with an all-day dining menu of elevated Qatari and regional classics, crafted with premium ingredients and presented with a contemporary twist. Signature dishes such as Madrouba and Majbous Hamour, as well as a dedicated Fatayer and Chapati menu invite travelers to experience the warmth and heritage of Qatar in every bite.
This concept also builds on Chef Nouf’s partnership with Qatar Airways, where she has served as a culinary consultant since 2023, developing authentic inflight dishes for Business Class menus.
Thabet Musleh, Chief Retail and Hospitality Officer at Qatar Airways, said, “We have partnered with Chef Noof Al Marri to introduce a dining experience that is not only exceptional in quality, but showcases Qatari cuisine with a contemporary perspective.
“Whether our customers have a few minutes or a few hours, they now have the opportunity to enjoy the creations of one of the region’s most renowned chef, leaving the airport with a memorable taste of Qatar.”
“I’m honored to be sharing the flavors of my country with travelers from around the world,” said Chef Noof Al Marri. “Food is a powerful storyteller, and I hope this new dining concept helps passengers experience the warmth, generosity, and spirit of Qatar, wherever their travels may take them.”
Slicy: A Local Favorite with Global Appeal
Also joining the food and beverage lineup is Slicy, a fast-growing, locally owned pizza brand known for its handcrafted New York-style slices with bold, creative toppings. With its roots in Doha, Slicy has gained a loyal following for its high-quality ingredients, playful menu, and community-driven spirit.
Now open at Hamad International Airport, Slicy offers passengers a relaxed setting that pairs international familiarity with local flavors, another example of QDF’s effort to elevate and broaden airport dining with meaningful, locally inspired experiences.
Together, these new venues represent Qatar Duty Free’s vision to highlight local culinary talent and create dining destinations that reflect the spirit and diversity of Qatar. Both Daily Chef Nouf and Slicy are now open 24/7 in Concourse A Food Park at Hamad International Airport.
