Indian · Glasgow
Small, cosy and right in the middle of the city, this is the kind of Indian restaurant that works well with children in tow — quick service, generous portions and a team that's patient with questions if your kids (or you) aren't sure what to order. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and vegan options, and you can peer into the kitchen from the tables while you wait, which buys you a few minutes of distraction. Families rave about the chole bhature, dal makhani, mutter paneer and garlic naan; one group fed eight people on five curries with sides. Prices are reasonable for the quality. Two honest notes: it's snug, so a big pram may be awkward, and the metal serving bowls arrive unheated, so food cools if you're dawdling over a toddler.
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.
A £5 falafel wrap made fresh in minutes — all vegan, made to order, but bring a plan for where to sit.
Roomy Irish pub by the subway with high chairs, a kids' menu, fast service and a much-praised steak pie — loud, and parking is tricky.
A casual, well-rated pan-Asian spot on Sauchiehall Street where kids can build their own plate without a long wait.
