Christmas at KINZ

Christmas in Lebanon is wonderfully social. The season moves between family homes, long tables and spontaneous visits, with food appearing before you have even had the chance to say you are hungry. There is always room for another plate, another chair and another person joining the table.
That is the spirit we want to bring to Notting Hill this Christmas at KINZ. From festive lunches and family dinners to Christmas parties, group dining and private celebrations, our tables are made for gathering. Expect generous Lebanese feasts, winter specials, Lebanese wines and a few festive touches of our own, all served with the warmth and abundance that feel unmistakably Lebanese.
Christmas Group Dining and Private Parties in London
Christmas plans come in all shapes at KINZ. Gather friends, family or colleagues in the restaurant, make the Rumman Room your own for a more intimate dinner, tuck away in the Wine Vault, or take over the Mezzanine for a bigger celebration. For larger Christmas parties and events in Notting Hill, KINZ is also available for exclusive hire. Whether it begins over lunch or carries on into the evening with Lebanese wine, coffee and arak, we’ll help you find the right setting for the occasion.
Christmas at KINZ calls for dishes with a little more ceremony. Our Christmas Feast menu, created for groups of eight or more, takes the flavours of a Lebanese winter and gives them a festive turn: slow-roasted lamb scented with cinnamon and pomegranate, jewelled rice, warming spices, orange blossom and desserts made for December. Familiar KINZ favourites sit alongside seasonal dishes created especially for Christmas, served in courses for the whole table. Come hungry. 3 courses, 75 per person.

Christmas Menus & Seasonal Specials
By late November, Notting Hill starts to feel unmistakably Christmassy: dark afternoons, glowing shopfronts, Portobello busy with present-hunters and Christmas markets beginning to appear around the neighbourhood. At KINZ, the change of season reaches the kitchen too. From 16 November, our Christmas specials bring winter ingredients into the Lebanese pantry, from labneh with roasted squash, date molasses and crisp sage to slow-roasted lamb with pomegranate, garlic and cinnamon.
And then there’s meghli. Spiced with caraway, cinnamon and anise, this Lebanese rice pudding is traditionally made to welcome a new baby and is also served at Christmas to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Ours is finished with coconut, pistachio and almonds. A small taste of Christmas in Lebanon, in the middle of Notting Hill.
KINZ Gift Cards
For the person who would rather unwrap a good meal than another thing, a KINZ gift card makes Christmas easy. Give them dinner in Notting Hill, a bottle of Lebanese wine in the Vault, or simply an excuse to come back for their favourite dishes. A thoughtful Christmas gift in London for food lovers, hosts and the hard-to-buy-for, with the freedom to make the visit their own.
