Cowley Road's Turkish spot runs busy and fast, which is exactly what you want when a toddler has hit the wall — food lands quickly even when the room is full. Portions are generous enough to share, the flatbread arrives fresh and puffy before the meal, and the grilled meats are the draw: tender lamb rack, chicken shish, chicken wings that one visitor rated above anything on five continents. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access, vegan options and free parking, plus outdoor seating for when you'd rather not be indoors. And that's the honest snag — it gets genuinely loud inside, with birthday celebrations complete with music and dessert. The lunchtime deal is good value, drink included. Staff are attentive and warm with families.

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.
