Kebab Queen: Redefining Turkish Fine Dining in Covent Garden

Tucked away beneath Maison Bab in Covent Garden, Kebab Queen offers one of London's most distinctive dining experiences. This intimate 10-seat counter restaurant challenges conventional fine dining norms while celebrating the rich heritage of Turkish cuisine.

A Truly Unique Concept

Forget everything you know about traditional restaurant experiences. At Kebab Queen, Chef Pamir Zeydan and his team serve an innovative six-course tasting menu directly onto a heated Dekton countertop - no plates, no cutlery. This intimate setup creates an immersive experience where guests interact directly with the chefs while watching their meal being meticulously prepared and presented before them.

Culinary Excellence with Cultural Roots

Drawing from his native Turkish heritage and influenced by Kurdish and Mediterranean cuisines, Chef Pamir creates dishes that honor traditional flavors while elevating them to new heights. The menu changes seasonally but might include highlights like the Celeriac & Quince Terrine served on cabbage leaves, an exquisite Mezze of Seafood, the signature Lamb Kebab, and Sütlaç (Turkish rice pudding) for dessert.

What makes the experience particularly special is Chef Pamir's passion for sharing the cultural and culinary stories behind each creation. Diners consistently praise not just the exceptional food but the educational aspect as the chef explains the origins and techniques behind each dish.

Perfect for Special Occasions

With its £100+ per person price point, Kebab Queen is firmly in special occasion territory - but the experience justifies the cost. The restaurant offers wine pairings that complement the innovative menu perfectly, and the intimate setting (just 10 seats around the kitchen counter) ensures personalized attention throughout your meal.

While not suitable for large groups or families with children, Kebab Queen provides an unforgettable culinary adventure for couples, food enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a dining experience that challenges expectations while delivering exceptional flavors and genuine hospitality.
