AMAYA Baghdad

Baghdad, Iraq  ·  Premium dining

AMAYA Baghdad is a premium dining restaurant in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. It opened in 2026, after AMAYA Lounge Erbil, as Moonlight Investments' second venue in the country.

The restaurant is built around modern hospitality and international flavours. It is run by Moonlight Investments, the Dubai group that created MYA at The Dubai Mall in 2022.

The concept

Premium dining in Baghdad

Baghdad has a strong social dining scene. Meals are shared and evenings run long, so AMAYA Baghdad puts the table at the centre.

Erbil took the lounge format. Baghdad is a premium dining room, where the meal is the reason for the evening.

At the table

International flavours, modern service

The menu draws on international flavours. It is there to give guests a reason to gather, to celebrate and to come back.

Service follows the MYA standard set in Dubai. The same training, service steps and quality checks apply, managed by Moonlight Investments.

Why Baghdad

AMAYA Baghdad in Iraq's capital

Opening in the capital after Erbil let the team build on what it had learned in Kurdistan. Baghdad still got a format of its own, chosen for how the city likes to eat out.

That is how MYA grows: keep the signature, pick the right format for the city and run it to the standard set in Dubai.

The group in Iraq

Two cities in Iraq

With Erbil and Baghdad both open, Moonlight Investments now has two venues in Iraq. Each keeps its own character.

The group began with MYA Dubai at The Dubai Mall in 2022. MYA Cafe Cairo opens in January 2027, and MYA Saudi is in development.
