During Ramadan, since the entire Muslim population, Qataris and Muslim expats (who make up the majority of expats), is fasting during the day, most eateries are closed until sunset. So Kentucky Fried Chicken - closed, Dunkin Donuts - closed, Baskin Robbins - closed, AND Crown Chocolate - CLOSED until sunset.A quote for an old friend, "Mini-Me loves Chocolate..Scotty don't!" (Austin Powers reference.)
Grocery stores and supermarkets are open during the day, but if you want a quick bite to eat at a fast food restaurant, you are out of luck. Sorry, non-Muslim..."NO soup for you!" (Seinfeld reference.)
Also, "timings" is what stores refer to as "hours of operation", "store hours", or "opening/closing times," so a store will say "Ramadan timings" and give the hours they are open for business during Ramadan.
