Restaurant · Nottingham
Nottingham's Indian and Afghan cooking gets a proper outing here, and it's an easy one to bring children to — high chairs, a kids' menu, step-free room for a pram and free parking outside, which takes the stress out of arriving. Portions are big and plates are properly sized, so sharing between small eaters works well. The Kabuli palaw draws real praise for its tender lamb, and the chapli kebab, karahi and Afghani naan come recommended too; a mango lassi keeps younger ones happy. Food arrives quickly and tables get cleared promptly, and the welcome is warm — staff will talk you through unfamiliar dishes if you ask. It's not universally loved; a few have found it pricey for what it is and the atmosphere hit-and-miss. Students get a discount, worth knowing with older kids.
