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 nine 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.

Absolutely excellent - best fish I have had in London. The starter of crab was fantastic and the Turbot was also perfect. Service was immaculate. The wine list was very pricey - some better priced white Burgundy would have been welcome. However a great restaurant in the heart of London.
