Indian · Norwich
Norwich families tend to arrive here for the food and stay because the room stays calm — it's quiet enough that a toddler's chatter doesn't feel like an event, and turning up without a booking on a busy Saturday evening has still ended with a table found. Portions come out generous, which suits sharing plates between children: the chicken tikka masala and the korma get raved about, the lamb rogan with Bombay potatoes and coconut rice too, and the sea bass if someone fancies something lighter. Staff are happy to adjust spice levels dish by dish and will steer you through the menu if you ask. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, vegan options, buggy access and free parking, and service holds up even late in the evening. Weekend evenings do get busy, so book if you want a particular time.

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.
