About Dinosaur Cafe

A small Mediterranean spot near the station that's genuinely easy with children — high chairs, a kids' menu, and a few outdoor tables when the inside gets snug. It's cosy rather than roomy, so a big pram may need parking by the door, and Saturday nights fill up fast with bookings; lunchtimes are the calmer bet, and the atmosphere stays chilled even when busy. Food comes out quickly, which matters when someone's losing patience, and portions are generous for the price. Families rave about the halloumi and kofta small plates, the chicken kebab wrap, the warm pita and hummus, and the baklava. Vegans and vegetarians do particularly well here. The staff are warm and accommodating — one parent describes the place as "a little oasis of calm" in a busy city. Simple cooking, done well.
