About the venue
Restaurant İstanbul Sofrası has been run by the same family for twenty-three years in the Schilderswijk district of Den Haag, and for a wedding the restaurant closes entirely to the public. The meze spread opens the evening with dozens of small dishes, from stuffed grape leaves to grilled aubergine, before the main courses follow.
The dining room seats 80 to 130 guests and has its own Turkish coffee station that guests can visit throughout the evening. Owner Mehmet Yıldız usually replies within two days, speaks Turkish and Dutch, and pours both wine and rakı as well as alcohol-free options, depending on what the couple prefers.

Recommendations
5 recommendations“The meze spread opened the evening with dozens of small dishes, my mother recognised the stuffed grape leaves exactly as she makes them herself. We were with a hundred and ten guests and the room never felt overcrowded.”
“Mehmet replied within two days to every question and spoke both Turkish and Dutch with our two families mixed together. The restaurant really did close entirely to the public, which gave us peace of mind.”
“The Turkish coffee station stayed open all evening, my aunts were still gathered around it talking at midnight. Exactly the detail that brought the feeling of home to the party.”
“We had a hundred and thirty guests and the room with its separate reception area worked well for the engagement ceremony beforehand. Live music was allowed with our own sound equipment, which saved on costs.”
“The grilled aubergine dishes were the highlight for me, genuinely like in Istanbul. Wine and rakı were poured alongside alcohol-free options, everyone could choose what suited them.”
