About the venue
Restaurant De Oosterse Tuin is a family restaurant in Apeldoorn that also happens to run weddings, and the difference shows: the private garden room is built around the kitchen rather than the other way round. A shawarma spit and a mechoui pit for a whole roasted lamb form a live-cooked centrepiece, with a qahwa station keeping Arabic coffee flowing all evening rather than confined to one moment.
Owner and head chef Karim El Idrissi, who usually replies within two days, sums it up: the lamb goes into the mechoui pit while your guests sit with their qahwa — the food is the event. The room seats up to 70, all catering comes from the in-house kitchen, and there's no house bar or required alcohol service.

Recommendations
5 recommendations“Karim did a whole lamb in the mechoui pit and that is exactly why we came here. My uncles from Nador said it tasted like home, and from them that is high praise.”
“We are Syrian and did not want a standard wedding buffet. Everything could be discussed in Arabic and Karim adjusted the menu with us until it was right. Seventy guests in the garden room, exactly full.”
“As a Dutch groom in a Moroccan family I was curious how this would go. The shawarma spit turned all evening and there was something for everyone. No alcohol, which we knew beforehand.”
“The qahwa station after dinner was the bit my aunts talked about for the rest of the week. The planted terrace was lovely for photos, though it is small if everyone wants to go outside at once.”
“Father of the bride. This is a restaurant, not a banquet hall — so you sit closer together than in a hall. For our group of sixty that was actually cosy. Free parking around the corner.”
