Not every family member wants the same kind of meal.

Some people may prefer a mild curry, while others want something more strongly spiced. Children may want familiar rice, naan or creamy dishes. Vegetarian family members need more than a basic side dish.

A shared Indian meal allows everyone to select something suitable.

Mild and Creamy Options

• Butter Chicken
• Chicken Shahi Korma
• Paneer Butter Masala
• Dal Makhani
• Zaffran Lamb Curry

Tell the staff if you are ordering for young children or someone who is sensitive to chilli.

Biryani for a Complete Meal

Chicken, lamb, king-prawn and vegetable biryanis combine fragrant rice with a selected protein or vegetables.

Biryani can be useful for teenagers and adults who want a filling individual dish.

Starters for Sharing

• Aloo Samosa
• Paneer Pakora
• Chicken Tikka
• Murgh Malai Tikka
• Tandoori Paneer Tikka
• Mixed Platter

Ask for guidance before ordering a large platter, particularly if you are also ordering several curries.

Ordering too much is a common mistake. For a family, begin with:

• One or two starters
• Two or three main dishes
• One lentil or vegetable side
• Rice
• Bread

The appropriate quantity depends on family size and appetite. Ask the staff for realistic portion guidance.

• Reserve a table.
• Mention the number and ages of children.
• Ask about high-chair availability if required.
• Explain allergies clearly.
• Avoid assuming that “mild” means completely free from spices.
• Bring essential items for very young children.
• Choose an earlier dining time if children become tired in the evening.

Zaffran UK may suit small birthdays, family reunions and anniversary meals. However, the restaurant has approximately 30 seats, so it is not designed for an unplanned large gathering.
