Lebanese · Brighton
Brighton parents looking for somewhere warm and unfussy will find a lot to like in this Lebanese and Middle Eastern spot. The owners greet you themselves and are genuinely happy to see children — there's a kids' menu, high chairs, and plenty of vegan choices, which helps when everyone wants something different. Food comes out fast, which matters when someone is past their limit. Start with the mezze: hummus, falafel, foul medames and kebbeh all arrive freshly made, and the arayess and Ablameh get particular praise. Portions are generous enough that starters alone can fill you up, and a full meal with drinks lands around £46 for two — genuinely good value. One diner of Egyptian heritage said it was "like being in Cairo". It's a small, comfortable room rather than a big family space, so it's worth booking at weekends.
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.
