Lebanese · Stoke Newington
Zer Middle East Kitchen on Stoke Newington Road is a warm, characterful spot serving genuinely exciting Middle Eastern food — think yoghurt chicken, semolina cake, and a menu where every dish tells you exactly where in the region it comes from. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with lovely staff and great music, and it works well for families thanks to highchairs, step-free buggy access, and a small outdoor space; vegan options are available too. There's no dedicated children's menu, but the sharing-style plates and generous flavours tend to go down well with curious eaters.
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.
