Client dinners in downtown New Orleans collect people who did not choose one another. Someone avoids meat. Someone wants mild food. Someone will drink. The menu has to cover them without a speech about every dish.
Naan is a leavened flatbread of flour, water, and fat, baked hot (Naan). It is the easiest shared item on an Indian table and the thing guests recognize while the curries are being explained. Put bread down first.
A menu that does not need a legend
Use three centers: a meat curry or biryani, a vegetarian curry, and a grill plate. Add rice and naan. Keep one dish mild, and say which one it is when the food lands. The menu is the source list. You do not need every section.
The Dietary Guidelines frame a meal pattern around vegetables, grains, and protein foods rather than a single plate for everyone (Dietary Guidelines for Americans). At a hosted dinner the translation is practical: two proteins, one of them vegetarian, and bread so nobody waits.
Book it as an event
Send the date, headcount, and the diet notes through parties. Dinner runs 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM at 201 Baronne Street, Suite B. A table of four who are paying their own checks can reserve on Resy instead.
Drinks stay easier if you pick two cocktails from the drinks list and offer them, rather than asking the server to invent a pairing for twelve people at once.
