Onam 2017: Savour delicious Onam sadhyas at these restaurants in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru

Many even head back home to Kerala during Onam to celebrate and spend time with their family, and most of all savour the elaborate Onam sadhya, a nine-course meal comprising 11-12 dishes. Of course, nothing beats the traditional fare cooked at home, served on plantain leaves, surrounded by your loved ones smacking and licking your fingers as you dig in, but if you can’t head home to Kerala then the next best thing would be to make your way to the many restaurants serving the sadhya in your city, and that’s where we’ve come to the rescue. Here are some of the best places across the metro cities of Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata and Chennai where you can get an Onam sadhya with the same traditional flavour as you would get at home.
