South Indian · Leicester
Big Indian and South Asian menus can be daunting with children in tow, but this Leicester city-centre spot makes it easy — a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access through to the tables and outdoor seating for warmer days. The staff are the thing families mention most: one group changed tables four times and were met with nothing but smiles, and food arrives promptly even when the room is full. The special thali is the order to beat, a spread of curries each tasting distinct; the mixed vegetable platter and the dosas also get real praise, and vegans are properly looked after. The room is modern and clean with striking décor, including a motorbike on display that children tend to spot first. It gets busy — book ahead, particularly at weekends — and portions are decent rather than enormous.
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.
