Restaurant · East Dulwich
Simorgh brings warm Persian flavours to Lordship Lane in East Dulwich, making it a genuinely family-friendly spot worth knowing about. Highchairs and a dedicated children's menu are on hand, and the entrance is easy to navigate with a buggy. It gets busy, so booking ahead — particularly at weekends — is a sensible move.

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.
