Pub · Birmingham
A city-centre Indian and mixed-grill spot that manages the rare trick of feeling smart without being precious about children — high chairs and a kids' menu are there, and there's room to get a buggy in. Food arrives fast, often within ten minutes, which matters enormously when someone has hit the wall. The spicing is properly authentic rather than toned down, so smaller palates may want the milder end: butter chicken, dal makhni, pulao rice, garlic cheese naan. Portions are generous for the money. Parking sits right in front, a genuine relief in Birmingham. Staff are attentive and warm, and larger family groups have been given a private room for celebrations. It leans grown-up and lively in the evenings with a decent drinks list, so lunch or an early tea is the calmer bet.
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.
