Drawing from their vast knowledge in modern Middle Eastern cookery and their tenure in multiple Michelin starred kitchens, they've created a culinary masterpiece. Currently hosting the renowned chef Pamir Zeydan, KQ stands as a beacon of extreme creativity in the world of gastronomy.

At the heart of the Kebab Queen dining experience is our meticulously crafted menu. Chef Pamir's eight course tasting menu revolves around immersion and connection. Drawing inspiration from humble origins, he skillfully elevates traditional Turkish dishes to create an unparalleled dining experience. The menu celebrates the essence of Mediterranean cuisine, thoughtfully featuring dishes that blend comfort and ingenuity.

We had the best time at Kebab Queen. Chef Pam and his group created a wonderful menu, which not only tasted amazing but they also prepared right in front of us. Such a unique and fun experience, which was made even better by how lovely and kind everyone was. Every dish was explained, with guidance on how to best enjoy it. Questions about preparation and ingredients were answered with so much detail that you could really feel the love and passion Chef Pam has for his food and heritage. It was so interesting to hear about the background of the dishes and try unique flavour combinations. We will definitely be back and spread the word!
