Middle Eastern · Birmingham
A proper Middle Eastern shawarma counter in the city centre, done at a price that won't sting when you're feeding several people — around £7 for a wrap, £9.50 for a mixed plate with chips. Portions are generous, so a hungry child can share one rather than needing their own, and there's a kids' menu if not. Falafel is fried fresh once you order, which is a genuine plus for vegetarians. Service is quick even when it's busy, and the staff greet you at the door and check you've got what you wanted. High chairs, room to get a pram in, and a few outdoor tables. The room is clean and the music sits at a sensible volume rather than shouting over you. Free lentil soup and bread arrive while you wait — handy when someone's flagging. Chicken is the safer bet; regulars say the sauces are the real draw.
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.
