Syrian · Birmingham
Somewhere between a hidden find and a proper occasion, this Syrian kitchen in Birmingham manages the trick of being both relaxed and genuinely welcoming to families. Buggy access and high chairs are sorted, there's a kids' menu, plenty of vegan choices, and free parking — which matters when you're unloading car seats. The room is spotless and food arrives fast, so nobody has to sit through a meltdown waiting. The freekeh comes up again and again as the standout, alongside minced lamb in tahini, the mixed grill, and chicken with vermicelli rice, big pitta and cubed potatoes. Portions are generous, prices fair for ££, and small extras like hummus, pickles and tea tend to appear. Staff are patient and attentive. It's popular and can fill up after events at the nearby arena, so booking is sensible at weekends.
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.
