We found Hertfordshire’s newest family-friendly Turkish restaurant… and kids eat for £1 on Sundays! 🍴

We’re big fans of Turkish food, so when we heard a new restaurant had opened in Broxbourne, we couldn’t wait to try it. Zakkum Grill welcomed us so warmly - attentive staff, kids even got 🍭 lollipops, and a space where little ones are genuinely made to feel at home.

The food was bursting with flavour 🤤 everything from our mains to the kids’ nuggets was fresh, authentic, and hearty (no frozen nuggets here!). We even left with leftovers… always a win. 🥘

Stylish and modern interior, relaxed for families, but also perfect for date nights - they’ve got live music nights too, so we’ll definitely be back 🎶.

Best part: every £1 kids’ meal on Sundays goes straight to a local charity 💝 - eat and support a good cause!

📍 Zakum Grill, Broxbourne, Hertfordshire

👇Save this for your next family meal out - especially if you love Turkish food!
