Greek · Folkestone
Family-run and it shows — the welcome here is the kind where first-timers get treated like regulars, and with a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access through the door, it's an easy one to bring children to. Free parking helps, and there's outdoor seating when you want the noise outside. The cooking is Mediterranean rather than strictly Turkish: mezze that changes weekly, chicken croquettes, calamari and flatbread, lamb cutlets, plenty of seafood, and a banoffee pie people still talk about. Portions are generous and there are proper vegan and vegetarian options, so nobody's stuck with chips. It's popular before shows at Leas Cliff Hall, so book if you're eating early evening. The odd side dish underwhelms — potatoes and carrots aren't the strong suit — but the mains rarely miss, and one parent found the staff "so warm, friendly and efficient".
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.
