Restaurant · Cambridge
Mill Road has plenty of Mediterranean options, but this one earns a family trip for a specific reason: the shisha is tucked away in a separate area behind a door at the back, so the front room stays clean-smelling and calm. The grill sits under glass, so children can watch the chef work — which buys you a few minutes of quiet before the food lands, and it lands fast, even with big tables. Portions are huge and prices low; two people can eat a mixed grill platter and starters for around £35. The fattah with chicken, halloumi and freshly squeezed juices get the most love, and complimentary mint tea often appears. Kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access, vegan options, outdoor seating and free parking. The owners are hands-on and warm, occasionally a touch enthusiastically so.
