These awards were a result of over 5 months of voting by the readers of the magazine, customers and food connoisseurs. The public voted using the voting forms carried within the magazine and kept at the participating restaurants, shopping malls and other popular joints.

This is the second edition of the Qatar Today Restaurant Awards, which have come to be acknowledged as the ultimate recognition for any restaurant. What makes them unique is that awards are given out based on customer votes and there is no jury involved. The categories have been expanded to 12 this year. The second edition also saw Standard Chartered Bank sponsoring the event along with other partners. Dana Club was the official host for the event.
