Turkish · Cockfosters
Asil brings generous, freshly cooked Mediterranean and Turkish food to a cosy neighbourhood setting in Barnet, with friendly, attentive staff who genuinely make families feel welcome — regulars mention the owner going out of their way to let guests try extra dishes. Highchairs are available and the restaurant is easy to navigate with a buggy, and there's a kids' menu for younger diners; vegan options are on the menu too. There's no outdoor space or baby-changing room here, but the warm, relaxed atmosphere makes it a solid choice for a family dinner or a lazy Sunday breakfast.
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.
