Ethiopian · Leicester
Ethiopian cooking in Leicester that parents keep coming back to, and the welcome does a lot of the work — the team takes real time explaining dishes to people who've never tried the cuisine, which matters when you're ordering for children too. Spice levels are flexible: families regularly ask for minimal or chilli-free portions across a platter, and one child who turned her nose up at the main was brought scrambled egg and tomato with bread instead, arriving as a generous plate she happily cleared. The Fidel Mehaberawi sharing platter is the one to get between two, the injera is beautifully made, and the coffee ceremony comes with popcorn and a proper bit of culture. Comfortable chairs, warm music, high chairs and a kids' menu, plus outdoor seating. Menu has no photos, so expect to ask.
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.
