Dear John,

I hope you are doing well! How is your family? Next week is my birthday and I am planning to throw an amazing party. I need your suggestion about choosing a restaurant.

I am thinking of a gathering of 15-20 people on 5Th March, in the evening at an elite restaurant, where I can offer Indian cuisine to my friends.

You told me that you visited a restaurant a few days ago. Do you think that that restaurant would be good for my birthday? When we had a chat about the place last time, you appreciated the ambiance and the delectable cuisines, but the name escapes me at the moment. If you can send me the location and the name of the restaurant, that would be a great help as I am a bit nervous about all the arrangements.

As for the food, what kind of cuisine they serve, and I would appreciate it if you could suggest some of their popular dishes, making it easy for me to decide.

Your insights would be invaluable for me. Please reply to this as soon possible so that I can start searching for another place if this does not work. I will send you an invitation shortly. Looking forward to a reply at earliest!

Warm regards

[your name]
