Indian · Forest Hill
Sparsh brings together Indian and Nepalese cooking in a warm, welcoming spot on London Road in Forest Hill — think fragrant curries and flavours that feel a world away from the usual high street fare. It's a genuinely family-friendly restaurant, with a kids' menu to keep younger diners happy, highchairs likely available, and level access that makes arriving with a buggy straightforward. Vegan options feature on the menu too, and it's worth booking ahead at weekends as it does get busy.
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.
