Indian · Birmingham
An extensive Kashmiri menu and a room that stays warm even when it's packed — and it usually is packed. Food comes out fast, which matters when a toddler has hit the wall, and staff keep water jugs topped up without being asked. Families with messy young children report being made genuinely welcome, especially for early midweek dinners. The poppadoms and dips get singled out as worth the trip on their own; the mixed grill, lamb chops and the karahis draw steady praise, and the family naan is big enough to feed six. Portions are generous enough that boxes for leftovers are normal. Vegetarian and vegan choices are plentiful, there's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and free parking, and you can bring your own drinks. Starters feel overpriced next to everything else, and it does get busy.

A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
