Indian · Hampstead
Aroma Spice is a warmly run, family-owned Indian restaurant on Fleet Road where the food is genuinely delicious and the welcome feels personal — reviewers rave about the atmosphere and the attentive service. The menu is extensive with spice levels clearly noted, which is handy when you're ordering for a mixed group, and highchairs are available for little ones; there's no dedicated children's menu, though the broad choice means most families find something to suit. Buggy access is straightforward, and vegan options are on offer for plant-based members of the family.

The secret to a calmer meal out? Something to do that isn't a phone. Each pack is full of screen-free bits and bobs to keep little hands busy at the table and buy you a proper sit-down. Three printable packs, one for each age (toddler, preschool, primary) — free, straight to your inbox.
