      I'm not sure where you are, so its hard to be specific, but the Ayan's Shisk Kebab mini-chain is kid-firendly and the food is pretty good. There are two in Port Washington (Shish Kebab and Fish Kebab) and one near Plainview, and I think there are a few others. In Port Washington you also might be able to try Diwan if you like Indian - I think they have a kids menu upstairs, although you should check first.

      Failing that, most restaurants (except the extremely high end) can accomodate a five year old with something relatively straightforward (pasta, sushi rice rolls, quesadilla, etc.).
