Traditional Indian and Bangaldeshi food in a spotlit room with wooden floors and white tablecloths.
Indian · Whitechapel
Rasoi Ghar is a warm, relaxed Indian restaurant near Aldgate where Chef Jasbinder Singh puts real care into every dish — the kind of place where staff are genuinely welcoming and you won't feel bundled out the door once the little ones have finished. It's comfortably buggy-accessible and has highchairs and a kids' menu, so younger diners are well catered for, and there are vegan options on the menu too. No outdoor seating or baby-changing facilities here, but the unhurried, friendly atmosphere makes it a solid family-friendly choice for a sit-down curry night in the city.

The secret to a calmer meal out? Something to do that isn't a phone. Each pack is full of screen-free bits and bobs to keep little hands busy at the table and buy you a proper sit-down. Three printable packs, one for each age (toddler, preschool, primary) — free, straight to your inbox.
