Mediterranean · Birmingham
Tucked into Birmingham with free parking outside, this is a Turkish and Middle Eastern spot that's built its reputation on small plates — and families do fine here despite the date-night crowd it's better known for. Buggy access and high chairs are sorted, there's a kids' menu, and vegan options too. The team are genuinely accommodating: one group asked for mocktails and got something properly made rather than a glass of orange juice. Warm lighting, cosy seating, and a calm atmosphere mean nobody feels rushed. The warm sourdough bread board is the thing to order first while little ones wait; the chicken and chorizo stew, croquetas and duck breast with cherry all get raved about, and the desserts are worth saving room for. It gets busy, so book — though regulars say you still feel looked after.
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.
