Restaurant · Edinburgh
Central Edinburgh Turkish cooking that families come back to night after night — one visiting family made it their most-frequented spot of the whole trip. The mixed grill is the thing to order and easily feeds two, with charcoal-grilled kebabs and döner in generous portions, plus complimentary bread, hummus and sauces to start and Turkish tea to finish, which buys you a few extra minutes at the table. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access, and the team are quick and genuinely warm — helpful when someone's hungry and impatient. Worth knowing it's a small room with limited seating, so a pram takes planning and booking is sensible at busy times. Prices are fair for the quality, everything is halal, and it stays open late.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
Halal Indian near the Playhouse with a kids' menu, high chairs and generous sharing starters — the chicken pakora is the standout.
Cosy Broughton Place Italian with fast pasta, brilliant focaccia, a kids' menu and free parking — but book ahead, it fills up.
Canadian-themed, kid-friendly and filling — poutine, burgers and hockey on the big screen, with high chairs, buggy access and quiet midweek evenings.
