Indian · Birmingham
Fine-dining Indian in the middle of the city, so it's a step up from your usual curry house — worth knowing before you book, because the prices sit above a standard high-street Indian and it's more elegant than rowdy. That said, families are properly looked after: high chairs, a kids' menu, buggy access through the door, and plenty of vegan choices. The car park sits right beneath the complex, which takes the stress out of unloading children in the rain. Staff strike a nice balance — attentive without hovering, and nobody hurries you along. Portions are genuinely generous; the chicken chilli garlic, vegetable jalfrezi and soft fresh chapatis all draw praise, and the lobster moilee is a treat. Handy for pre-theatre trips to the Hippodrome, though booking is wise if you're arriving with the whole crew.
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.
Deceptively huge inside with well-spaced tables, table service to your seat, quick hot food and low prices — but weekends get hectic.
Lively Latin American spot with kids' menu, high chairs and fast-arriving sharing plates — book ahead, and expect a cheerful weekend buzz.
