The Richmond Family's Guide to Indian Food Nights

22 February 20266 min readBy Jaflong Tandoori Team

Friday night. The kids are restless. Nobody wants to cook. Indian food is the perfect family meal — naturally shareable, endlessly customisable, and something for everyone.

Best Mild Indian Dishes for Children

  • Chicken Korma — Creamy, mild coconut sauce. Safest bet for fussy eaters.
  • Butter Chicken — Rich tomato-cream sauce, subtle spice.
  • Plain Naan — Soft bread kids can tear and dip.
  • Onion Bhaji — Crispy, savoury, fun finger food.

See our kid-friendly guide for more.

Building the Perfect Sharing Meal for 4

  • 2 starters to share (onion bhaji + chicken tikka)
  • 3 mains with different sauces (one mild, one medium, one rich)
  • 1 pilau + 1 plain rice
  • 3–4 naan (garlic, plain, peshwari)
  • Raita on the side

Typically £45–£55 — with our 10% collection discount, you save even more.
