Café · Cambridge
A Pakistani-Indian café with a menu that stretches well past chai and cake — regulars who eat here often say the food and drinks are consistently good, and one family arriving expecting a snack spot ended up with hearty biryani and nihari served piping hot while the kids worked through smash burgers. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access, and the room is warm and comfortably laid out, though it's noticeably quiet inside — lovely if you want calm, less forgiving if your toddler is loud. Halal throughout, with desi and English breakfasts and an obliging kitchen on omelette tweaks. The karak and doodh patti draw real praise. Worth knowing: waits can stretch to twenty minutes even for a takeaway slice, and the desserts are hit-and-miss for the price.
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.
