The 3-4-2-2 rule
For UAE Indian weddings, aim for 3 starters, 4 mains, 2 rice, 2 breads plus chaat and 3 to 4 desserts. This covers taste variety without overwhelming production.
Why more is usually worse
Beyond 6 mains, guests spread portions thinner across dishes, quality drops, and waste rises to 20 to 30 percent. Fewer, better-executed dishes beat a sprawling menu every time.
