Indian · Altrincham
Indian and South Asian cooking at a mid-range price, with a proper kids' menu so younger ones aren't left picking at a plate of plain rice — handy if your child is still working out whether they like spice. High chairs are there for babies and toddlers, and step-free access means you can get a buggy in without the doorway shuffle. Vegan and gluten-free options cover most of the awkward requirements one child in the group inevitably has. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, so a bit of noise from your table won't stand out, and it's worth booking ahead.
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.
