Field notes on Indian dining

What's the safest Indian order for kids new to the food?

Naan, butter chicken or chicken tikka, plain basmati, mango lassi. Almost every Indian restaurant covers these in mild form. The planner picks places that are explicit about spice level.

Lunch buffet vs sit-down?

Lunch buffets are excellent for kids who want to try things in tiny amounts. Sit-down dinners work better for older kids who can wait.
