Vegan · Newcastle upon Tyne
Tucked into Grainger Market, this is a small vegan Indian counter where lunch usually lands under £10 and the curry of the day comes generously portioned for around £8 — enough that most adults don't need anything else. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, and buggy access works, though the market setting means seating is limited and it gets genuinely busy at peak times, so allow a bit of extra time rather than arriving with a hungry toddler and no slack. The samosa chaat and the curry banquet (plenty for £13) come up again and again, as does the chai masala. Almost everything is vegan and much of it gluten free. It's counter service — you clear your own tray — and one parent describes the feel as "home from home", warm despite being an open market stall.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
