"What to order" is a different question from "where to go" — you already know the restaurant, the real question on 14 August is what actually makes the meal feel like an occasion. Here's a straight answer, dish by dish.
For the table centrepiece
Biryani — chicken or mutton — is the obvious anchor for any celebration meal, and a whole charga (roast chicken) is built for a table that wants something to share and tear apart together.
For the spread
- Live tandoor BBQ — tandoori boti, seekh kabab, mutton chops
- Chicken or mutton karahi, and butter chicken handi
- Fresh naan and tandoori roti
- Beef nihari, if you want something slower and richer
To finish
Gulab jamun and kheer are the easy classics; ras malai or faluda if you want something a bit lighter to close the meal.
Buffet or à la carte
If the group wants a bit of everything above without individually ordering each dish, whichever buffet falls on the 14th covers most of this list in one sitting. If you know exactly what you want, order it à la carte instead.
