South Indian · Ipswich
Handy to know about if you're eating out in Ipswich with children in tow. The kitchen does South Indian cooking at mid-range prices, and there's a kids' menu alongside gluten-free options, so a fussy eater and anyone avoiding gluten are both covered by the same order. High chairs are available and access is step-free, which means you can get a buggy in without folding it down at the door. Worth booking ahead, and the moderate noise level means a chatty toddler won't stand out.
