Indian · Plymouth
Sri Lankan cooking with real conviction behind it, and the welcome is the sort that makes bringing children in feel easy rather than fraught — warm greetings at the door, a team that takes obvious pride in what comes out of the kitchen. Service is quick and the food arrives fresh, which matters when someone's patience is running out. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, and the room stays comfortable and relaxed rather than frantic. Worth ordering: the mutton curry, string hoppers with dhal, mutton kottu, crisp fried fish, and the dosa if you're a South Indian fan — portions are generous and prices reasonable for what you get. Falooda makes a good shared pudding. One caution: allergy handling has let people down, so if that's your situation, press hard and check ingredients yourself.

Small, calm Plymouth sushi spot with fast service, generous portions, high chairs and a kids' menu — but it shuts mid-afternoon.
