West African · Birmingham
Nigerian cooking done properly, and the kind of place where a family can settle in without anyone getting flustered. The room is cosy with music playing and football often on, so children's noise disappears into the background — and the staff are attentive, checking in without hovering. Portions are big enough that leftovers usually come home, which helps when little ones only pick. The jollof rice deluxe, smoky jollof, beef suya and fried yam with pepper sauce all get raved about, and one visitor said the fried rice tasted like their mother's Sunday version. Free parking, high chairs, a kids' menu and buggy access are all sorted. Waits run around 20 minutes and can stretch longer at busy times, so order something to nibble early if patience is short.
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.
A cosy old-school Birmingham local with a kids' menu, generous pie-and-mash portions, friendly staff and a much-loved pub cat.
