About the venue
Restaurant Baghdad Tafel is a family business owner Zainab Al-Obaidi has run since moving to Leiden, and the outdoor masgouf grill is the heart of every wedding here: whole river carp, split open and set upright around the fire, exactly as it's done in Baghdad. Guests gather round the grill to watch before dinner begins.
The garden and dining room together seat 40 to 90 guests, which suits a smaller, more personal wedding. Zainab speaks Arabic and Dutch, works with an all-female team for bridal preparation, and usually replies within two days. No alcohol is served, but tea flows all evening, and catering comes entirely from the in-house kitchen.

Recommendations
4 recommendations“The masgouf grill in the garden was exactly as my father remembered it from Baghdad, whole river carp split open and set upright around the fire. Guests naturally gathered around it before dinner began.”
“A small, personal hall with room for our 55 guests, exactly what we wanted for a more intimate wedding. Zainab speaks Arabic and Dutch and arranged everything herself.”
“The all-female team helped me and my sisters prepare in the private room, which brought real calm before the ceremony. No alcohol, but fresh tea flowed all evening.”
“The garden around the grill worked beautifully for photos, though a larger covered area would have been nice once it started to get windy. Otherwise everything was exactly as promised.”
