The Queen Adelaide pub in Shepherd's Bush closed last summer, but the pub is now returning under a new guise, called The Talli Queen.
It comes from chef Avi Shashidhara, who previously worked at Claude Bosi's Hibiscus and then had a long stint at The River Cafe before launching the kitchen at Pahli Hill Bandra Bhai in Fitzrovia. He also won the starter section of Great British Menu in 2023, so you might also remember him from that series.
It's the latest pub to relaunch with a strong focus on Indian food, much like The Tamil Prince (and Crown) in Islington. They say that the pub will be inspired by "traditional drinking establishments of India" and according to The Caterer, Avi is teaming up with the man who recently relaunched The Oarsman pub in Marlow. The menu will focus on food from the charcoal grill and tandoor, and we hear they'll be cooking up Indian-style porchetta and tandoori chicken for Sunday lunch.
The pub is undergoing a light refurb right now. We'll bring more news about the menu closer to its opening.
