Big, buzzy and surprisingly workable with children — the food comes out fast, which matters when someone's patience is thinning. Expect bold Indian cooking rather than the usual takeaway staples: the daal gets rave mentions, as do the garlic pepper prawns, lamb tawa kebab, prawn moilee and a biryani people describe as rich and filling. Breakfast is worth knowing about too, with chicken keema pau and a mango lassi that most children will happily share. There's a proper kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and outdoor seating, plus plenty of veggie, vegan and halal choices. One main and a side per person is genuinely enough. The catch: it's popular and packed at weekends and Friday lunchtimes, tables sit close together, and one visitor found the space "a bit tight" with a pram. Book ahead.
