Shaadi Mein Salad Kaun Khaata Hai? (And Other Myths Busted)

Each time a Delhi wedding buffet is revealed, there's always one isolated corner that people politely avoid—the salad bar. Let's face it. Most of us stroll past it as if it doesn't exist, making a beeline for the kebabs or biryani. But what if we told you that salad is just one of the several catering myths waiting to be overhauled?

At GetYourMenu, one of the top wedding caterers in South Delhi and Gurgaon, we've witnessed it all—from paneer politics to dessert drama. So here we are, debunking some of the most archaic (and side-splitting) wedding food myths, Delhi-style.

Myth 1: "Shaadi mein salad kaun khaata hai?"

Reality: Anyone, if you do it right.

The issue isn't the salad; it's the way it is presented. Nobody gets giddy about simple cucumber strips and shredded cabbage. But imagine if you had a live salad bar with fusion toppings, or a chaat-style quinoa bowl counter? Throw in some zesty dressings, crispy masalas, and perhaps even a 'build-your-own' option. Instantly, your salad table is a hit. Delhiites adore their chaat—and if your salad is like one, you're set.

Myth 2: "Paneer hi sab kuch hota hai."

Reality: Paneer is the Amitabh Bachchan of veg wedding seasons—but even Big B experimented with new roles.

Sure, paneer butter masala is a classic, but your wedding doesn't have to be a repeat of everyone else's buffet in South Delhi. Imagine paneer tacos, paneer sliders, or even Thai-style paneer satays. At one of Gurgaon's best wedding caterers, we adore making this crowd pleasure new again with creative twists. Your guests will appreciate the extra effort.

Myth 3: "North Indians don't eat South Indian food at weddings."

Fact: Only until they taste the mini ghee podi idlis.

Fusion is in. More and more South Delhi weddings are adding live dosa counters, Malabar parotta with veg stew, or Andhra-style gongura dishes to their catering spread. When done right, regional dishes aren’t just accepted—they're celebrated. In fact, we’ve seen guests queue longer for filter coffee than for mocktails. Go figure.

Myth 4: “Sweets should be traditional only.”

Truth: Jalebi is eternal, but Nutella jalebi is the new MVP.

Days of rasgulla, gulab jamun, and ice cream being your only dessert choices are over. Guests at weddings these days want surprises—imagine gajar halwa tartlets, boondi cheesecake, or nitro kulfi bars. Our dessert tables in South Delhi and Gurgaon weddings end up being Instagram spots because who doesn't want to click a rose rasmalai mousse?

Myth 5: "People don't care about presentation, bas taste hona chahiye."

Reality: Taste scores points, but looks score clicks.

With the times of wedding reels and trending shaadi videos, your food platter is not just to be consumed but to be featured as part of the look. A well-designed grazing table or a vibrant thali spread is enough to make headlines. We've assisted hundreds of clients across Gurgaon and South Delhi in designing food platters that look stunning as well as taste great. Double benefit.
