Menu photography for North Indian restaurants

North Indian menus live or die on the look of their gravies. Mughlai curries, biryanis, kebabs and parathas all share a deep, glossy palette of saffron, paprika and ghee that phone cameras almost always flatten into a muddy orange.

We restage every dish on warm copper, brass thali, or matte black tablescapes, the surfaces that make a butter chicken read as butter chicken at thumbnail size on the delivery apps.
