Know about the choice of guests.
Before starting to decide the menu, discuss with someone and know about the choice of guests, what they want or what they like. As some of you like the simple food items with flavours like they are having homemade food, young generation children may like fusion or Italian food. Some of your guests are highly diet-conscious, so they might prefer to have tasty salads with the spreads. For that, you may coordinate with the caterers.
Always divide the menu into categories or varieties.
A good menu should have different textures, food categories with different authentic and smoky flavours. Always start your menu with the starters, as it will be the first choice of the children to see in the menu to fulfil their cravings. So the exciting dishes that you can add in your menu as starters are garlic bread, paneer tikka or mushroom tikka, veg kabab, sushi, dimpsums and with that also add the cool beverages like mojito, lemonade, soft drinks etc. then after the starters you can shift to main course in which you can add all of us favourite dal makhani, paneer butter masala with the spicy flavours and serve them with the hot breads like butter naan, garlic naan or butter chapati. After the most awaited part of desserts, you can decide on ice cream, fruit custard and other dishes also.
Seasonal dishes can be added to the menu.
You can change the variety of dishes according to the seasonal change, like in summer, you can add iced tea or refreshing jal-jeera, and in winter, you can add hot chocolate milkshake or hot coffee, and similarly, in snacks and main courses, you can also change the dishes in winter.
Exciting menu
Most people think that vegetarian food is tasty and healthy, but it’s less exciting. So in your menu, there should be a proper balance of taste and health. Your menu should be exciting the way you represent your dish so the idea of representing the dish should be exciting.
