A newer arrival on the Southampton Indian scene, this one leans stylish and softly lit rather than clattery, which makes it an easier sit with children than most curry houses — buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu are all sorted. Food comes out quickly, which matters when someone's patience is running short, and portions are generous enough to share, so a child picking at rice won't cost you a whole extra plate. The butter chicken and chicken Kori Gassi both get raved about, and the peshwari naan has a real following; a cucumber cooler mocktail keeps older kids happy. Staff are warm and attentive — families mention birthdays being marked without any fuss. It's a little pricey for the style, but the cooking tastes properly home-style Indian, and people say that's worth it.
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.
