Your Indian wedding menu is more than food; it’s an expression of your culture, taste, and celebration. At Laguna Restaurant, we’ve helped many couples design menus that blend culinary heritage with modern flair, creating unforgettable dining moments for every guest. A feast that tells your story.
Here are our tips on how to design your own luxury wedding menu.
Curating The Perfect Indian Wedding Menu
Let’s start with the main food event, your daytime or evening banquet.
1. Begin with Your Culinary Heritage: What Best Represents Who You Are?
We always encourage clients to start with flavours or dishes that reflect their roots. It could be North Indian classics like butter chicken and dal makhani, or South Indian specialities such as dosas and uttapams. We work with families to honour those traditions while ensuring balance and flow throughout the menu.
What this brings to your menu is a touch of home. Comfort and celebration re-imagined in fine dining.
2. Curate A Multi-Course Menu That Feels Like An Experience
Luxury Indian wedding menus are moving toward plated multi-course dining, allowing guests to savour a curated sequence of flavours. Incorporating what makes you both unique gives us a head start on designing the flow of your story across dishes.
A tasting menu is perfect for this because each dish builds on your story. Layer by delicious layer. For example, you could tell the story of how you met and fell in love through flavour. Wouldn’t that be a beautiful meal to remember!
3. Balance Spice, Texture & Temperature Levels
Our final tip is to consider how everything works together. Every dish must feel harmonious in taste and timing. At Laguna, our chefs fine-tune spice levels, ensure textural contrasts (crispy, creamy, charred), and adjust for serving scale.
You see, a carefully curated menu is also about how individual dishes work together, so consider how you transition from dish to dish. Do you need a palette cleanser anywhere?
Late-Night Bites: Don’t Forget The New Must-Have!
When the dancing begins, energy needs refuelling. Late-night bites have become a signature part of modern Indian weddings in London.
You’ll want to keep these light, but plentiful, again keying into your roots.
Laguna favourites include dishes like:
- Avocado and broccoli Ke Gole
- Bite-sized Sikandri Paneer Shashilk
- Tandoori prawns
- Crispy okra fries
- Butter chicken sliders
Finally, Bringing It All Together Without The Stress
As with every element of your wedding, the menu can take time to come together. You need to consider how you tell your food story at each moment of your day.
Added to this is the complexity of guests’ dietary requirements. How do you curate a menu that you are happy with, while offering alternatives or catering to every guest as a whole?
At Laguna, we make this simple. Our chefs have extensive knowledge of Asian cuisines, which means we can design a menu that captures your vision, pairing flavours with service style and presentation that complements your décor and theme. It takes that pressure off your shoulders.
