Indian · Nottingham
Booking ahead really matters here — tables fill up and walk-ins get turned away, so plan it rather than chancing a Saturday. The upside is a room that hums rather than one of those hushed, echoey curry houses where every clatter of cutlery feels like an event; children fit into the noise easily. Staff are warm from the door and check in often without hovering, and food comes at a steady pace with no rush. Portions look modest but land heavier than they look — the lamb specials fall off the bone, and the ostrich starter gets particular praise. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and vegan choices. One parent found the seasoning a touch gentle for their taste, though flavours were still good.
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.
