Mill Road's buzz sits right outside, but inside there's room enough to park a pram and settle in without feeling wedged between tables. Come on a weeknight and it's quiet enough to talk while still feeling alive — easier going than a packed Saturday. The team are genuinely welcoming and unusually good on allergens and vegan requests, which matters if one of yours can't have dairy; there's even a vegan naan. Portions are big, so two children can happily share. The onion bhajis are famously enormous — bigger than a tennis ball — and go down well with kids who'd normally baulk at a curry. Samosa chaat is tangy and crunchy, the korma rich and mild, the Naga fiercely hot for whoever's brave. Kids' menu, high chairs, free parking, outdoor seating, and a £19.95 three-course deal Sunday–Thursday, 5–7pm.
