Kebab Queen debuts in Covent Garden
The new concept from the founders of Maison Bab will launch in April.
Maison Bab founders Stephen Tozer and Ed Brunet announced their newest restaurant, Kebab Queen, at 4 Mercer Walk.
Manu Canales, who was formerly the sous chef of Le Gavroche, will also join the team, taking the lead serving a £60 seven-course tasting menu wherein diners are encouraged to ‘rip, tear and eat with their hands, in a ritual that pays homage to late-night kebabs’.
Kebab Queen will be located in the basement of Maison Bab, allowing diners to enter through the restaurant’s prep kitchen.
“Kebab Queen is the pinnacle of our project. The piquancy, umami and smokiness of the kebab really lend themselves to reinterpretation. We’re creatively pairing Middle Eastern flavours with meticulous classic technique. But we want visitors to relax and get stuck in; it’s about combining the intense flavours of high end dining with the communal, elbow-to-elbow fun of the kebab shop,” Canales said.
