Modern Indian · Oxford
A Bombay street-food menu in the middle of Oxford, and it handles families better than the buzz might suggest — high chairs, buggy access, a kids' menu and outdoor seating when the room fills up. The atmosphere is warm and lively rather than hushed, so a bit of noise from your table won't stand out, and food tends to arrive quickly, with staff checking in and topping up water without hovering. Allergies are taken seriously. Order the tandoori chicken, the chicken ruby, the black daal and a naan that comes out piping hot and charred; the lamb samosa and onion bhaji get raved about too, and there's bottomless chai at the end. Portions run on the smaller side, so factor in an extra dish or two. Vegan and halal options are available, and booking is wise.
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.
