Indian · Glasgow
Right by Central Station, this long-standing Indian spot is an easy one to land in with children — buggy access, high chairs, a kids' menu and free parking take the usual stress out of arriving. Portions are generous and the choice is wide, with plenty for vegetarians and vegans, and the team ask about spice levels before anything reaches the table, which matters when you're ordering for small people. Families rave about the samosa chaat, the chilli chicken and lamb, and the cauliflower pakora; the gravies get singled out again and again. There's a set lunch around £13 and a buffet near £20, so it stays reasonable. The welcome is genuinely warm — one family's child was still talking about it days later. Worth knowing it's busiest at weekends, and the chicken pakora can run a little dry.
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.
