Vegetarian · Reading
South Indian cooking is the draw here, and it suits families better than most Indian restaurants in Reading — a kids' menu, high chairs, room to get a pram in, and free parking so you're not circling the block with a toddler in the back. Food comes out fast, which matters when someone's melting down; one visitor sums it up as "delicious and fast", good for a quick bite rather than a long lingering dinner. The Bombay thali is the one to order — a plateful of different dishes, easily enough for two to share — and the complimentary saunf at the end is a nice touch. Everything is vegetarian, with plenty of vegan choices. Two honest notes: the hot and sour soup has a serious chilli kick, and the weekend buffet doesn't always start on 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.
