Shri Lakshmi Foods on Hoe Street is a beloved little South Asian street food spot where everything is made from scratch — the samosa chaat, bhel puri and thalis are regularly praised as some of the best around, and the menu is wonderfully extensive without the prices to match. It's a relaxed, welcoming place run by charming owners, and practically speaking it's easy to arrive with a pushchair, and highchairs are available for little ones. There's no baby changing on site, but the outdoor space gives you a bit of breathing room, and with strong vegan options it works well for mixed-diet families — just remember it's bring-your-own for drinks.

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.
