Turkish grilling done properly, and roomy enough inside that a pram isn't a problem — there's free parking and outdoor tables too, which helps if your two are the fidgety sort. The charcoal platter is the thing to share; the lamb chops get talked about more than anything else on the menu, and the ribs and wings come out hot and full of flavour (bring wipes — they're gloriously messy, and finger bowls aren't a given). High chairs, a kids' menu and vegan options are all there. Staff generally check in without hovering, and one family found service quick enough to beat a meltdown. Worth knowing: it's not consistent — a few visits have brought long waits and grill meat that missed the mark — and there's sometimes live music, so weekend evenings get lively.
