Thai · Cardiff
Thai food that reliably lands with a family in tow, and the practical stuff is sorted — high chairs, a kids' menu, level buggy access and a few outdoor tables when the weather plays along. Vegan options are on the menu too. Food generally arrives fast, which matters when a toddler has hit the wall, though it can slow when the takeaway orders pile up; staff are apologetic and attentive when it does. Chilli oils sit on the table, so you dial the heat up yourself and keep children's plates mild — worth a taste test first, some are fierce. The prawn dishes get the most praise (huge prawns, panang and pad Thai both), along with crispy spring rolls and the tender waterfall beef. The £15 lunch deal until 5pm — starter, smaller main, side and a drink — is good value with children.
