Turkish · Camberwell
FM Mangal is a warmly run Turkish grill on Camberwell Church Street that's a bit of a tardis — compact from the outside but surprisingly roomy once you're in, making it a decent shout for a relaxed family meal. The charcoal-grilled meats and mezze are the real draw, and the staff have a reputation for being genuinely attentive rather than just going through the motions. Highchairs are available and the restaurant is easy to navigate with a buggy; there's no dedicated children's menu, but the menu's broad enough that little ones can usually find something they'll enjoy, and vegan options are on offer too.
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.
