Vegetarian · Cardiff
Bring the whole family and prepare to take leftovers home — the portions here defeat most people. The thali is the thing to order: two curries, dhal, naan and gulab jamun on one tray, and regulars swear by the dosas and the dahi puri too. It's Gujarati home cooking, cheap for what you get, and the murals covering every wall keep small people busy while they wait. High chairs, a kids' menu and buggy access are all sorted, and free parking helps. The kitchen will leave out onion and garlic if you ask. Two honest snags: it's not the quickest at busy times — one family clocked a long wait on a packed Friday — and tables can stay uncleared. Groups of four or more can hand the ordering to the chef.
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.
