Pakistani · Birmingham
Big enough that a pram isn't a problem, and with its own free car park to the side — two things that make a Birmingham dinner with small children considerably less stressful. Walk-ins are usually fine even without booking, and food arrives quickly, which matters when someone's patience is running out. The staff get consistent praise for being attentive and genuinely kind with children, offering suggestions and checking in through the meal. Order the Lahori karahi (tender, not oily) or the dum biryani, and the naan comes out properly fresh. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, vegan options and a big dessert list to bribe everyone through the last twenty minutes. Portions are generous and prices reasonable — around £56 fed three adults well — though the combo platter is the one thing families say feels small for the money.
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.
