Turkish · Stratford-upon-Avon
Turkish and Middle Eastern cooking in the middle of Stratford, with enough room between tables that a buggy isn't a problem and high chairs and a kids' menu ready when you ask. It's a decent-sized space and rarely feels frantic, especially at late lunch or early dinner, and one detail families notice is the air conditioning — unusual for a grill house, and a relief when a toddler is already overheating. The meze is where it shines: hummus with warm fresh bread, stuffed vine leaves, babaganoush. Mixed grills, chicken kebab and grilled fish all get praise for freshness, and the staff tend to be patient while a table works out its order. Worth knowing: the kebabs can be hit and miss, and it's popular enough that 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.
