The ten-day harvest festival, Onam, commemorates the freshly reaped crops in Kerala. Celebrating the bounty and communal dining, what was once confined to Malayali households, Sadhya has become one of India’s most anticipated seasonal dining experiences. Balancing sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and spicy notes into a single meal, the vegetarian feast is prepared with humble and seasonal ingredients.
So, no matter where your work has taken you, restaurants in most metro cities celebrate Onam. While some stick to the traditional recipes, others shake things up with a modern twist. If you’re looking for a place to have Sadhya in Bengaluru, Mumbai, or Delhi NCR, here are the top restaurants you should bookmark this August.
