Indian · Newcastle upon Tyne
A traditional curry house tucked down a side street, this one has been quietly feeding Newcastle families for years — and plenty come back with children in tow. Buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu are all in place, and the staff are attentive without hovering; the owner tends to check every table is happy, which helps when someone small is fidgeting. Portions are big enough to share (one curry, rice and a starter genuinely stretches between two), and the starters alone arrive like a main. The set menu around £16 is a bargain, and there's usually no need to book on a quiet evening. Regulars rave about the biryani, the peshwari naan and the vegetable samosas. The decor is dated and the odd dish falls flat, but for cheap, generous, unfussy food it's hard to beat.
