Turkish · Finsbury Park
Antepliler Doner on Green Lanes is a warm, welcoming Turkish spot where the beef and lamb doner is hand-carved and cooked over an open flame — the kind of place where the food genuinely does the talking. The iskender is a crowd-pleaser with its slow-cooked meat, yoghurt and melted butter, and regulars rate the sultan kofte and chicken doner wraps highly too; don't be surprised if you're sent off with complimentary baklava and Turkish tea. Highchairs are available and the restaurant is easy to navigate with a buggy, making it a relaxed choice for families, though there's no dedicated children's menu so little ones will be sharing from the main spread.
The secret to a calmer meal out? Something to do that isn't a phone. Each pack is full of screen-free bits and bobs to keep little hands busy at the table and buy you a proper sit-down. Three printable packs, one for each age (toddler, preschool, primary) — free, straight to your inbox.
