In a traditional Luau pigs are roasted in a pit dug in the ground called an imu to make the dish called "kalua pig." You can access very detailed instructions on how to do this courtesy of the Culinary Arts Program at the Maui Community College. Realistically, you probably wont want to dig a pit.
Start the evening with a Polynesian Pupu platter accompanied by a selection of Hawaiian cocktails. As you might expect, fruit juices and rum play a big part in these cocktails. I suggest you take it slowly because they can sneak up on you if you're drinking too fast on a sultry evening! I've selected a few of my favorites for this menu.
Considering the location of Hawaii it makes sense that seafood plays a large part in the Luau menu.

Coconuts and pineapples must be considered mandatory ingredients for your Luau. It just wouldn't be a Hawaiian Luau without them. One other indigenous Hawaiian food you must try is Poi. Made from the taro root, Poi may at first seem distasteful to a non-Hawaiian but it's a very nutritious staple food in Hawaii. The Poi Company ships products worldwide made with this Hawaiian specialty.
Okay, warm up your appetites, turn on the music, and get into the Aloha spirit!

Look up recipes but chicken and beef shishkabobs that's what I call them. you can put shrimp on them and pineapple and other stuff. Also cut coconuts in half for drinking glasses. Make a punch with your theme and choice of liquor to fit the theme. You could have citrus fruit platters and cherries. Little umbrellas in your drinks. Rice with the kabobs.
