Presentation Matters:
The current trends suggest that the Indian dining is getting deeply influenced by their Western counterparts. Huge emphasis is now laid on the presentation of the food as well.

The food being served in plates is preferred over the earlier custom in India wherein the food was served in the utensils it was cooked into.
Awareness about eating Healthy
The guests nowadays are far more conscious and aware about the food they are eating. They love to experiment and try new things around. At the same time, they also do not overlook the health implications of what they eat.
As per a survey ‘organic’, ‘vegan’, ‘whole-grain’ , ‘oil-free’ , ‘unprocessed’ are some of the primarily emphasized attributes of food people sought for in 2014.

With more guests emphasizing on the ingredients of the dishes, the caterers have already begun switching to the healthier options available.
Striking a Balance between New and Regional food

This has also led to a rise in demand for various Global cuisines from South America, Australia and Nordic countries. Also, the food from Peru and Korea is gaining popularity among the food lovers in India.
