Top 10 Indian Dishes for Corporate Events in London

Elevate Your Business Meetings with a Premium Corporate Catering Menu

When it comes to hosting a successful business lunch or an office seminar, the food you serve speaks volumes about your brand. Choosing a corporate catering menu that balances sophisticated flavours with practical service is essential. At Jaflong Tandoori, located at 16 Ashburnham Road, Richmond, we have many years of experience catering for more than 500 high-profile events across South West London. We understand that the best indian dishes for office lunch settings are those that are delicious, easy to eat, and inclusive of all dietary needs.

Whether you are hosting a small team meeting in Richmond or a large-scale conference near Kew Gardens, our business lunch catering services are designed to impress. Here are our top 10 Indian dishes curated specifically for the corporate environment.

1. Chicken Tikka Masala (The Ultimate Crowd-Pleaser)

No corporate event is complete without Britain’s favourite dish. Our Chicken Tikka Masala is mild, creamy, and familiar. Its consistent popularity makes it a safe yet delicious bet for diverse groups. Because it isn't overly spicy, it suits every palate, ensuring no one is left reaching for water during your presentation.

2. Vegetable Korma (Vegetarian & Mild)

In any modern office, catering for vegetarians is a priority. Our Vegetable Korma uses seasonal vegetables in a rich, coconut-based sauce. It is halal, with meat sourced from halal-certified suppliers and vegetarian-friendly, offering a luxurious texture that proves meat-free options can be the star of the show.

3. Lamb Biryani (The All-in-One Solution)

Biryani is highly practical for business lunch catering. It is a complete meal in a single tray, featuring tender lamb and fragrant basmati rice. It stays hot for long periods and is incredibly easy to serve during short lunch breaks.

4. Tandoori Mix Grill (High-Protein & Low-Carb)

For health-conscious employees or those following a keto diet, the Tandoori Mix Grill is a fantastic choice. Featuring succulent pieces of chicken and lamb charred to perfection in our traditional clay oven, it offers a smoky, sophisticated flavour without heavy sauces.

5. Onion Bhaji (The Perfect Finger Food)

If your event involves networking or standing, you need food that doesn't require a knife and fork. Our crisp Onion Bhajis are gluten-free (made with gram flour) and serve as an excellent ice-breaker during morning coffee breaks.

6. Saag Paneer (The Nutritious Choice)

Spinach and Indian cottage cheese (Paneer) provide a vibrant, healthy addition to any corporate catering menu. It’s a great way to introduce iron and protein into a vegetarian spread, and its bright green colour looks stunning on a buffet table.

7. Daal Tarka (The Vegan Essential)

With more professionals opting for plant-based diets, a high-quality vegan dish is a must. Our Daal Tarka is tempered with garlic and cumin, providing a comforting, protein-rich option that caters to vegans and those with gluten sensitivities.

8. Seekh Kebab (Sophisticated Starters)

Minced lamb infused with herbs and spices, these kebabs are easy to portion and serve. They add a touch of premium flair to your event, fitting perfectly into our Luxury Package (£35/head).

9. Pilau Rice (The Versatile Side)

Fragrant, fluffy, and colourful, our Pilau rice is the perfect canvas for any curry. We use premium long-grain basmati to ensure the rice never becomes sticky, maintaining a professional presentation throughout the meal.

10. Garlic Naan (The Essential Accompaniment)

Freshly baked and lightly brushed with garlic butter, our naans are perfect for mopping up sauces. We recommend pre-cutting these into triangles for easier handling in a corporate setting.

Expert Tips for Ordering Corporate Catering

Planning for a large group can be daunting. Based on our experience with over 500 events, here are three tips to ensure your office lunch catering goes smoothly:

• Prioritise Dietary Diversity: Aim for a 60/40 split between meat and vegetarian dishes. Ensure at least two dishes are vegan and gluten-free to be fully inclusive.
• Consider the "Spice Factor": For business meetings, stick to mild and medium heat levels. Save the extra-spicy vindaloos for evening social events!
• Portion Control: Our Essential Package starting at £15 per head is perfectly portioned to keep teams satisfied without causing a "post-lunch slump."
