As far as creative writing is concerned, nothing is right or wrong. It's entirely up to you, the writer, to describe the scenes in your own way. That said, writing just _"Jennifer walked inside the restaurant and saw Niranjan waiting for the free table"_ sounds kind of lame and plain, whereas the second kind of sentence adds a slight element of suspense to the reader and sounds better. More than saying he's just Indian, you can also use some characteristics of Niranjan (like his manners or way of talking) to imply the character. At the same time, take care to give enough hints to the reader to imply that it _is_ Niranjan, so that the reader isn't confused. Hope it helps. Cheers!
