What to Eat at Qwerty How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Qwerty, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

“Superb Sunday Roast! Great portion sizes, lovely atmosphere, and friendly service. Would definitely recommend and return!”February 2026
“Qwerty is a fantastic place for business meetings and their fantastic business lunch menu that changes every day. There is noisy construction going on outside which affects the ambience of sitting outside but it’s to no fault of their own. They also have a great cocktail menu an a Dj in the evenings on the weekend. I had great service from Natasha and Melissa. Whether you’re eating or drinking off their main menu or lunch menu or coming for Sunday roast… it’s all delicious and value for money. Highly recommend!”January 2026

Tips for a Better Visit
Try Roast. Consider Sunday Roast if you want a substantial meal; reviews specifically mention lamb, prawn cocktail, trifle and mac and cheese.
Check Offers. For a Tuesday visit, ask whether ladies night is running and confirm its reported three drinks and 50% food discount.
Use Valet. Use the hotel valet if driving; a reviewer found the outside valet particularly convenient for a quick stop.
Ask Portions. If ordering hot breakfast items, check portion expectations because one reviewer found them small.
Choose Indoors. If conversation matters, choose indoor seating or ask about current outdoor noise because construction has affected the terrace.
Try Thursday. For live music, a review mentioned a singer on Thursdays from 6 to 8:30, though the venue can become loud.

The Bottom Line
Qwerty is a restaurant, wine bar and grill at Media One Hotel in Al Sufouh, with a menu that moves from breakfast buffet to pastrami sandwich, Sunday roast and stir fry. It suits hotel guests, a business lunch, or a casual drink that turns into a meal; one reviewer arrived for drinks and stayed for lunch. Breakfast gets especially consistent praise: the buffet includes breads, pastries, fruit, nuts, vegetables, pickles, meats, yoghurt and cereals, while hot dishes can be ordered separately.
The Sunday Roast is another draw, with reviewers mentioning generous portions and, on one visit, prawn cocktail, lamb, trifle and mac and cheese. The pastrami is compared favourably with Katz in New York. Inside, reviews describe a cozy, modern venue with good music, cocktails and weekend DJs.
There is indoor and outdoor seating, a dog-friendly weekend option, and valet parking outside. Tuesday’s ladies night was reported to include three complimentary wine or cocktail drinks and 50% off food, though offers should be checked before relying on them. Service is usually described as polite, quick and attentive, but it is not perfectly consistent.
One breakfast review found slow service and small hot-food portions; another reported a one-hour wait, a wet sofa and difficulty cancelling an order. Outdoor seating has also been affected by construction noise, so ask about current conditions if ambience matters.
