Indian · Covent Garden
Royal's India is a relaxed, honest curry house tucked away on Endell Street in Covent Garden, serving well-cooked classics — think a proper Madras or a rich black lentil dal — with staff who are genuinely attentive and food that arrives without a long wait. The menu is refreshingly unfussy rather than exhaustive, which makes choosing easier for everyone, and they're happy to adapt dishes to suit different tastes. It's a solid family-friendly choice with highchairs, a kids' menu, baby changing, and buggy-friendly access, plus vegan options on the menu and a bit of outdoor space if the weather plays ball.
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.
