AIBU?

I'm opening a food business. What do you want to see on the menu?

I know it's not an AIBU!

But I want to get my menu right! I love street food and we have some amazing street food where I live, but I want to do something different.

We have, on our doorstep, phenomenal Japanese food, Lebanese food, tapas, chicken, burgers, Vietnamese, gastro pub food, Indian, you name it, we've got it.

I'm keen to do great veggie and vegan stuff alongside proper meat.

The restaurant already does an amazing daytime menu that I don't want to change but the evenings is ripe for the taking.

I've got ideas, but I love you guys and want to know what you want to see on a menu.

In a hipster area. (yak, but true!)

Hit me with your ideas

Caribbean vegan food, jerk jackfruit burgers, plantain, curries, cornmeal pudding, juices and smoothies.
Really good food, not common but popular when anyone tries it.

There's a noodle place here which has a really simple menu, it changes regularly but there's generally 3 noodle bowls on the menu - 2 meat, 1 vegan, a couple of vegetarian side options and 2 or 3 types of bao.

A small but well thought out drinks menu & unlimited green tea. The service is great and friendly and the food is wow, honestly. The stock they make is so good and everything they serve is cooked perfectly.

If you're going to do a kids menu please consider doing some tasty and healthy options. It's so hard to find a kids menu that has something other than chicken nuggets, fish fingers and pasta in tomato sauce.

Good point PennyPincher
In fact I would go further and say don't have a children's menu at all, just serve the same food in small, medium and large portions. Children don't need a different kind of food, and they are not the only people who might want a smaller portion. In her later years my Mum would struggle to eat even a children's portion but so many places insisted that she had to have an adult meal. Not only did a huge plate of food put her off eating at all but it created so much unnecessary waste. Just offer different portion sizes and let people of any age decide for themselves what's appropriate for them.
