The food menu totally worked for our engagement function, out guests loved the variety. Have to give special credits to the Jigyasa from team Shangri-La to helps us design the lunch menu. She gave full attention to our little needs like masala to be kept along with fruits, the texture of meat we wanted and another small thing that we wanted for the menu. She sat with us for the entire food tasting session and gave her suggestion on what to be included from a professionals point o view that it was really helpful.

We had initially finalised on 3-4 fewer items but keeping in mind the pairing and logic, Jigyasa increased the menu without any extra cost.

If you are hosting a function and confused on what food to offer in buffet then hope my veg-non-veg food menu helps to pick right food choices for engagement/wedding lunch buffet.
