Modern Indian · Cambridge
Street-food style menus mean lots of small plates to share, which works well when children want to poke at three things rather than commit to one — five dishes plus rice fed a table of four comfortably. Spice levels sit on the gentle side of flavourful, and the naan comes out fresh and fluffy, a reliable win with younger eaters; the mango lassi does the same job. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and vegan options, and the atmosphere is unhurried rather than rushed. Worth knowing: the front counter area is tight for prams at busy times, so ask for a table at the back where it's more relaxed, and rice is charged separately at around £3.25. Portions are generous, though families note they vary between dishes.
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.
