Indian · Liverpool
There's proper room to spread out here, so a pram beside the table doesn't turn into an obstacle course, and families say you're not sitting on top of the next diners. The kitchen leans authentic North Indian — grilled dishes come out juicy and aromatic, the curries are the kind people from serious curry towns say beat their locals, and portions are generous enough that children can pick from a plate. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, and vegans are unusually well served: a tofu swap for every meat dish, done properly. Staff are warm from the moment you walk in and happy to let you try before you commit. Two honest notes — come early and it can feel empty and a bit atmosphere-less, and the music sits loud under the speakers in places, so ask for a table away from one.
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.
