Halal · Glasgow
Middle Eastern cooking that punches well above its price, tucked into Glasgow with a kids' menu, high chairs and step-free access for the pram. Be warned before you go: it's much smaller inside than the photos suggest and seating is limited, so a family of four with a buggy will want an off-peak slot rather than a Saturday night. The charcoal chicken is the thing people cross the city for — around £11 for a whole bird with spiced rice and pickles, easily enough for two adults and a child picking. The rice draws the most praise of anything on the menu, and portions are big enough that leftovers go home in a box. Vegan and halal options are on the menu, and the team are warm with walk-ins. One snag: takeaway orders sometimes come out wrong, so check the bag before you leave.
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.
