Turkish · Nottingham
Turkish food in Nottingham that works with kids in tow — there's a kids' menu, high chairs, and room to get a buggy in, which takes the stress out of the door. The sharing platters are the thing to order: lamb, chicken and shish with bulgur wheat, rice, a good salad and plenty of warm bread, and portions generous enough that families regularly leave with a takeaway box for the next day. Food arrives in around fifteen minutes, which matters when someone's patience is running out. The staff are attentive and welcoming from the moment you walk in, and late breakfast is a quieter, easier slot than dinner. It fills up — a full room most evenings — so it's worth booking. One small snag: the odd dish has arrived less hot than it should.
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.
