Is it impolite to ask our friends what they do not prefer for supper?
Dinner idea is kosher food => https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/113425/jewish/What-Is-Kosher.htm
A conversation insight from the Complete Jewish Bible introduction is Christian vocabulary has some words that are offensive to Jews (due to historical use & abuse).

I hope not ... I routinely ask new guests if they have any dietary restrictions ... or when dealing with teens, I ask more frequently who vegan/vegetarian/pescatarian this week [;)]

"Do you have any special dietary needs or preferences?" is a good question for just about any guest. Besides religious requirements, it helps screen for allergies, vegetarianism, gluten intolerance, diabetic needs, etc.--just off the top of my head.
I'm diabetic, and I just gently let people know when they invite us over that carbs, starches, and sugars are not foods I can eat. I've had a few people ask ahead of time, and I'm grateful. I think they would be honored if you ran a possible menu by them for their feedback
I agree with the above. It doesn't hurt to ask if there is anything they don't eat or are allergic to anything.
When I have dined with some of my Jewish friends I had to not serve certain items (e.g. pork) though I also have Jewish friends who do eat pork.
Thanks to all. You've helped a lot.
