Indian food is a symphony of bold spices, vibrant colours, and unforgettable aromas – and at The Indian Dish, we’re proud to bring you a menu that’s both rooted in tradition and inspired by innovation. Whether you’re looking for wedding catering, party food in Kent, corporate catering or funeral caterers, our carefully curated catering Indian dishes offer something for every palate.
Here is our top 10 most loved Indian dishes list that our guests keep coming back for – from fiery favourites to comforting classics.
1. Chicken Dhansak
A customer favourite – this Parsi-inspired dish combines sweet, sour, and spicy flavours with tender chicken cooked in lentils. A perfect balance of richness and warmth.
2. Railway Chicken Curry
A colonial-era gem, this rustic dish was once served on India’s long-distance trains. Medium spiced with whole spices and slow-cooked onions – it’s nostalgic and delicious - one of our most booked Indian dishes.

3. Chicken Jalfrezi
Sizzling with fresh peppers, onions, and a tangy tomato base, our jalfrezi packs a punch while remaining one of our crowd-friendly Indian dishes. It’s colourful, vibrant, and full of depth. This Indian Dish is most booked on our Buffet Menu, served at a Buffet Station or from our Pop-up Kitchen.

4. Chicken Tikka
Marinated overnight in yoghurt and spices, then grilled to perfection. Our tikka is juicy, smoky, a particular favourite on our BBQ Menu.
5. Lamb Karahi (Signature Dish)
A house special – tender pieces of lamb tossed in a rich, tomato-based sauce with ginger, garlic, and capsicum. Cooked in traditional ‘karahi’ pans for deep, authentic flavour.
6. Lamb Biryani (Signature Dish)
Fragrant basmati rice layered with slow-cooked spiced lamb, caramelised onions, and saffron. Served with cooling raita – a regal centrepiece for any celebration.

7. Vegetable Balti
Seasonal vegetables simmered in a bold, spiced sauce. Cooked over high heat for that unmistakable ‘balti’ flavour – hearty, rich, and comforting.
8. Saag Paneer
Creamy spinach paired with soft Indian cheese cubes. Mild, creamy, and full of goodness – this is always a hit with vegetarians and meat-lovers alike.
9. Chaat
An explosion of textures and flavours. Our chaat features crisp puris, tangy chutneys, yoghurt, and spice blends – a zesty canapé served in boats or as a beautiful Indian street food side dish that gets your tastebuds tingling.

10. Tadka Daal
Comfort food at its finest – yellow lentils tempered with cumin, garlic, and dried red chillies. Soulful, simple, and deeply satisfying. This is a really popular Indian vegan dish, served a lot from our Pop-up kitchen.
