Turkish · Cambridge
Turkish grilling done in front of you turns dinner into a show — the grill master's tricks buy you a good ten minutes of children sitting still, which counts for something. Tables are set well apart, so a pram isn't a problem and you're not knocking elbows with the next family; high chairs and a kids' menu are there, plus free parking, which is a rare mercy in Cambridge. Food arrives fast and portions are generous. The kofte kebab draws the most devotion, the hummus is properly smooth, and the set menu (mezze, mixed kebab, baklava) is a good way to let everyone pick at things. Staff are warm and unhurried even when it's heaving. Sunday evenings get packed, and going near closing time means a quieter room but a grill that's already off.
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.
