Turkish · Leytonstone
Gezi Park is a warmly run Turkish restaurant on Wanstead High Street, where generous portions of well-seasoned meat and genuinely friendly staff make for a relaxed meal out. The weekday dinner menu offers good value with three courses and plenty of choice, and the team are known for making families feel welcome — highchairs are available and the restaurant is easy to navigate with a buggy. There's no soft play or baby changing on site, but the outdoor space and straightforward family-friendly atmosphere mean it's a solid choice for an unfussy, enjoyable Turkish meal with the kids.
The secret to a calmer meal out? Something to do that isn't a phone. Each pack is full of screen-free bits and bobs to keep little hands busy at the table and buy you a proper sit-down. Three printable packs, one for each age (toddler, preschool, primary) — free, straight to your inbox.
