Restaurant · Nottingham
Nottingham city centre isn't short of quick lunches, but this one turns out a falafel sandwich people genuinely rave about — fresh, filling, packed with salad, pomegranate seeds and a sauce that gets talked about long afterwards. The Iraqi falafel and spiced chips (seasoned, not hot) are the orders to copy, and portions are big enough that a smaller appetite could share. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and outdoor tables, plus proper vegan and gluten-free cooking, and the staff take allergy questions seriously and answer them patiently. Two honest snags: inside is tight, so a pram takes some manoeuvring between tables, and the loos are upstairs with no lift. Use the step-free side entrance. It's a busy roadside spot rather than a hushed one, though one visitor noted no music playing — easy conversation across the table.
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.
Warm little upstairs Ethiopian spot in the city centre with huge sharing platters, quick service, high chairs — cash only, no step-free access.
Roomy modern Market Square spot with kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access — go at quieter times, as service can be slow.
Counter-order noodle spot in Nottingham with fast, generous bowls of hand-pulled braised beef — high chairs and a kids' menu too.
