Indian · Edinburgh
Wide-ranging Indian cooking in Edinburgh that manages the trick of being properly good and properly relaxed at the same time — the 80s Bollywood soundtrack and buzzy room mean nobody notices a child having a moment. Buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu are all sorted, and free parking takes one worry off the drive. Portions are generous and the menu is broad enough to feed a fussy table: the peshwari naan gets rhapsodised about, the butter chicken is rich without being greasy, and the momos, Chicken 65 and paneer dishes come in for regular praise. Vegetarian and vegan choices are extensive rather than an afterthought. Food generally arrives promptly and the team are warm — though a few families have found the welcome flatter on discount bookings, and the back tables are cramped, so it's worth booking and asking for a spot near the front.
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.
