Indian · Nottingham
A Nottingham fixture that's been going strong for years, this is a big, handsome room — space for over 200, which means a pram tucks in without anyone tutting. Buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu are all sorted, and there are vegan options. The service is the standout: orders taken almost before you've decided, food out fast, and the staff genuinely unflappable — when a table went over and two pints with it, they had it cleared and the group moved without fuss. Which is reassuring with children. The Lahori lamb chops, jalfrezi and the ostrich starter get the most love; the rice and naan are the weak link. Heat levels wander, so ask for mild and expect a bit more. Worth booking — it's popular, and changes to reservations are handled easily.
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.
