Mediterranean · Edinburgh
A big, warmly decorated room with Turkish music playing means there's space to park a buggy without apologising, and it's calm enough at lunchtime that a fidgety toddler won't be the loudest thing in there — though evenings fill up and get livelier. Most plates are designed to be shared, which is genuinely handy with children: order a few mezze and let everyone pick. The home-made bread, chargrilled chicken shish and the mixed grill get the most praise, and portions are generous. High chairs and a kids' menu are there, and the team are friendly and patient. Two honest caveats: prices sit around £13–£18 a main and one family found the special feast poor value, and street parking out front is difficult, so aim for the free parking or arrive early.
