DOHA:  The Torch Hospitality has announced that it will open the first specialised Umm Ali kiosk in the city at the beginning of March.

The kiosk will be located next to The Torch Doha, just below its entrance. The approximately 30 square-metres shop will offer traditional Umm Ali for dine in or take away along with a wide variety of selected toppings. Home-made, freshly baked maamoul will be available, on daily batches, as well as a carefully-crafted menu of Arabic desserts and drinks.

Umm Ali, a sweet, decadent delicacy, originally deriving from Egypt, is already a best seller at The Torch Doha, ordered daily and in large numbers through catering orders. The sweet dessert will be available in two sizes, individual portion and half kilo, along with diverse toppings according to the guest’s preference.

Wael Al Sharif, General Manager of Al Aziziyah Boutique Hotel in charge of group Food & Beverage stated, “We are very happy and honored to open the first specialised Umm Ali Kiosk in the city. Dukkan was greatly anticipated and we are certain that guests will enjoy the new concept and their favourite desserts in a fresh and relaxing environment.”
