Kebab Queen, the small chef’s table restaurant hidden within Maison Bab in Covent Garden has now reopened. Kebab Queen opened last year and it was designed to challenge perceptions of both kebabs and chef tables, offering a 6-course tasting menu prepped by Manu Canales in front of diners.
The 10 seater chef’s table restaurant is now open from Tuesday to Saturday for dinners from 7.30pm and it’s the perfect space for private dining and celebrations. Manu Canales' new tasting menu highlights include the Foie gras kebabito - buttermilk flatbread with lightly grilled foie gras and garnished with confit potato, date puree, raisins soaked in Grand Marnier, the Spit-roasted duck 'fesunjan' with pomegranate molasses and saffron gravy, walnut praline and a duck parfait stuffed lokma and the Carrot pain perdu with roasted carrot and orange puree, complex cream and a sabayon-enrobed roasted baby carrot.
