Turkish · Nottingham
Nottingham parents land here and stay for the sharing platters — one family found platter 1 so big it could have fed three, and the free bread, dips and salads arrive before you've even ordered, which buys you a good ten minutes with a hungry toddler. The room is large and doesn't feel cramped, so a pram isn't a problem, and there are high chairs and a kids' menu if the mixed kebab is too much. Free parking sits in the car park across the road. Food comes out fast — one family were eating within ten minutes on a packed Saturday night — and the staff are unfailingly warm, including with big group bookings and coeliac diets. It fills up from around seven at weekends and gets noisy, so go early with little ones. Portions are generous and the prices genuinely low.
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.
