Shanghai Me Doha is giving West Bay a new reason to linger after dark with the launch of Hanami Nights.
The evening dining experience takes its cue from the Japanese tradition of Hanami, where beauty, blossoms and good company are celebrated around the table.
Available daily from 6 PM onwards, it brings together a curated three-course menu and one drink in the restaurant’s polished, atmospheric setting.

A blossom-season mood after dark
Hanami is traditionally associated with the fleeting beauty of blossoms, but here the idea is translated into an evening built around shared plates, soft pacing and a more relaxed sense of occasion.
Rather than leaning into formality, Hanami Nights is designed to move naturally from dinner into the rest of the night.
That makes it a neatly timed proposition for West Bay diners looking for something more considered than a quick meal, without committing to a long tasting-menu format.
Chinese and Japanese signatures in one menu
The experience centres on three courses drawn from Shanghai Me Doha’s signature repertoire.
The restaurant’s appeal has always sat in the meeting point between Chinese and Japanese cooking, with an emphasis on refinement, balance and a dining room that feels suitably dressed for the evening.
For Hanami Nights, that culinary identity is packaged into a concise format that keeps the choice focused while still feeling generous enough for a proper night out.
Drinks and evening rhythm
Each booking includes one drink, with a selection spanning cocktails, wine and house beverages.
That detail matters, because the experience is clearly pitched as more than dinner alone.
It’s an easy way to gather after work, begin a night in the city or settle into a slower evening with friends over food and drinks.

Hanami Nights is available daily at Shanghai Me Doha from 6 PM onwards.
