Turkish · Walthamstow
DNR17 in Walthamstow is a lively spot where Turkish grills, peri-peri chicken and Pakistani dishes all share the same menu — a genuinely broad spread that gives families plenty to agree on. The room is roomy enough to manoeuvre a buggy without stress, highchairs are on hand, and there's a kids' menu to keep things affordable for little ones. Staff have a reputation for being warm and chatty, and the half chicken peri-peri and cheese-stuffed onion rings are the kind of dishes that bring people back.
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.
