Dubbed as "banquet" in Malayalam, Onam Sadhya is a multi-course feast of Kerala origin usually served on the last day of the Annual Harvest Festival or Onam. It's a 10 day-long celebration which is finally concluded with clean houses, lit-up markets, new clothes, dances, fireworks and a hearty meal called Sadhya. I for one was astonished... and you'd be too when I stumbled upon the piece of information which clarified that one meal of Onam Sadhya usually harbours up to 25 courses at a time. And authentically speaking... it is mostly served on a banana leaf.
It doesn't get better than that...
But we'll definitely try. So, for the people who aren't in the premises of real action, that is Kerala and are currently residing in Mumbai, here are 5 places you can happily visit in your city to gorge some of those delicious Onam Sadhya Meals.
*It's highly advisable to make your bookings and reservations at least a day or two in advance. Preparing an Onam Sadhya meal can be a tedious affair, so inform the restaurant about your visit, well ahead in time!*

This place is Just Kerala in Mumbai... no, no seriously. For a restaurant to serve Sadhya dishes all year long is not an easy task but these people are doing it with love and perfection. Their menu has 18 dishes which is what you get in a single Sadhya Meal. Authentically Sadhya is enjoyed with vegetarian dishes only but here you are subjected to two other variations; Fish Sadhya Thali and Non-Veg Sadhya Thali. Don't forget to save the room for dessert because I hear they are soul-satisfying.
Price: INR 383 to INR 460 (plus taxes)
