Tucked into St Nicholas Market, this is street food done properly — bread baked in front of you, then wrapped around chargrilled chicken or lamb kofta with crunchy salad and sauces that people genuinely rave about (one parent calls the hummus so velvety it "makes shop bought taste like glue"). Portions are big and prices are small: around £8 gets you a loaded box of fragrant rice, salad and dips, which two smaller children will happily share. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, outdoor seating and buggy access, plus vegan options. Queues build at lunch when the office crowd descends, and ordering can feel a bit disorganised — you pay at one counter and collect at another — but food comes out fast and the team are patient and genuinely kind.
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.
