New India Palace
A restaurant site where the menu is the page and the order button is never more than one tap away.
The business
New India Palace has served North Indian food on Topanga Canyon Boulevard in Canoga Park since 2001. It is family-owned, halal, and known in the Valley for its daily lunch buffet and its tandoor.
Most of its customers arrive one of two ways: they search for Indian food nearby on a phone, or they already know the place and want to order.
What it needed
The site had to do the two things a restaurant site is actually for. Show the whole menu, readable on a phone, without a PDF. And put ordering one tap away from anywhere on the site.
It also had to look like the restaurant: warm, unhurried, a little formal. Not a delivery app.

What we built
Five pages, built around the menu.
01
The menu as data, not a picture
All 72 dishes live in one data file, grouped into 11 sections with price, description, and vegetarian, spicy, and popular marks. The page renders from it, so a price change is a one-line edit.
Section tabs stay pinned as you scroll and follow you down the list, which is how a phone user actually reads a long menu.
02
Catering requests that arrive complete
The catering page walks through three event types and a four-step how-it-works, then asks for the six things the kitchen needs to quote: contact, event type, guest range, preferred date, and a note.
03
The family story, with the photographs to carry it
Since 2001, a family tradition, halal kitchen, fresh daily, family recipes. The about page says it in two short blocks and a six-image gallery instead of a wall of text.
04
Hours, map, and a phone number on every screen
Address, phone, hours, and email as four cards over an embedded map. The phone number is also in the announcement bar, the header, the hero, and the footer, always as a tap-to-call link.
What changed
The menu is the site now.
Every dish, every section, readable on a phone, with ordering one tap away from any page. Catering inquiries come in with the details the kitchen needs to answer them. And the site carries the restaurant's own photography, its typography, and its since-2001 story instead of a delivery platform's.
