Modern Indian · Edinburgh
Tucked just off the Royal Mile, this is a cosy little Indian dining room where the staff genuinely seem pleased to see families — accommodating with special requests, quick with the food, and known to hold the door open on your way out. Come before 6.30pm and it's properly quiet; one family found a 4.30pm booking near-empty, which is ideal if your two can't manage a long wait or a loud room. Portions look modest and turn out to be plenty. The butter chicken is thick and creamy, garlic naan beats the cheese, and the lamb chops and kebabs come off the grill nicely charred; the Bangladeshi dishes and house specials are worth a look. Buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu are all sorted. Prices are fair for the location, though it's worth checking your bill against any discount you've booked.
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.
