Turkish · Plymouth
Turkish charcoal cooking done properly, and a Plymouth spot that handles families without fuss — there's a kids' menu, high chairs, and enough room to get a pram in. The kitchen is open to view, which buys you a few minutes of distraction while you wait, and food tends to arrive quickly. Portions are enormous; more than one family has admitted the plates beat them. The lamb chops get the most praise by a wide margin, and the mixed grill platters are built for sharing across a table. Staff are friendly and go out of their way. Two honest notes: it's noisy when busy, to the point that big tables struggle to hear each other, and the bill creeps up — check what lands on your table, as bottled water has been known to appear unasked and charged.
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.
