Indian · Bow
A warm, unpretentious little curry house on Roman Road serving genuinely tasty Indian food — the butter chicken is saucy and full of flavour, and the chilli garlic tikka with lamb gets a lot of love too. It's a small, family-run place with a quiet, relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy to enjoy a meal without any fuss, and highchairs are on hand for little ones. Buggies can get in without a struggle, though there's no dedicated baby-changing or outdoor space to speak of.
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.
