    Our dining experience was truly exceptional. Mr Alexandre, our waiter, was outstanding; his attentive service and friendly demeanour significantly enriched our time at the restaurant. He offered great recommendations and ensured we felt well taken care of throughout the meal. The dishes we ordered were nothing short of exquisite, beautifully presented and bursting with flavour. Each bite was a delightful journey for the palate. The restaurant's ambience contributed to the overall charm; it was warm and inviting, with soft lighting and cosy seating that made us feel right at home.

Only slight negative was the waiters were standing around chatting and we just happened to be seated by the till, so was slightly annoying.. But overall very happy

    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!
