Our story
From a restaurant in Bahrain to a complete hospitality experience
A legacy built on taste, trust and togetherness. Over the years, the business has grown beyond restaurant dining to encompass catering, event planning, tent solutions and event equipment services.
The beginning of a legacy
Built on taste, trust and togetherness
Al Wasmiya Restaurant and Catering (Dar)’s journey reflects a passion for hospitality, a commitment to quality, and a vision to create memorable experiences for every guest.
Its earlier published company profile identifies 1992 as the year the journey began in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The first restaurant initiative introduced guests to kebabs and barbecue specialties, helping establish the foundation for a hospitality business built around flavor, service and a welcoming atmosphere.
As the business developed, it introduced new concepts, offering guests a distinctive dining environment inspired by traditional village surroundings and Middle Eastern hospitality.
Expanding the meaning of hospitality
Catering, brought to your table
With growing experience in restaurant operations, the group expanded into catering — weddings, family gatherings, corporate functions and special occasions. Rather than limiting hospitality to a restaurant setting, the team developed services that bring the dining experience directly to customers’ chosen venues.
- Live cooking and fresh tandoor preparations
- Barbecue and a variety of dishes for different tastes
- Weddings, corporate functions and special occasions
Events and tent solutions
As demand for complete event arrangements grew, the group expanded into event planning, tent and marquee rentals, furnishings and equipment supplies — combining planning, venue setup, equipment, catering and service through one coordinated team.
- Event planning, tent and marquee rentals
- Furnishings and equipment supplies
- From intimate celebrations to corporate gatherings
