Indian · Southampton
A long-standing Southampton favourite where the welcome is genuinely warm and children get looked after — high chairs, a kids' menu, and staff who take their time with a table. The dining room is small, so booking matters, especially at weekends; a pram will be tight when it's full. Food can take a while when they're busy, though most families say it's worth the wait. The chicken tikka masala is the gentle option for younger palates, and the madras, lamb biryani, Kerala chicken curry with paratha and masala dosa all get named again and again. Naans arrive enormous — order one to share. The onion bhajis are a reliable starter for hungry children. Free parking helps, and vegan dishes are on the menu. One parent calls the service "second to none".
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.
