Author’s Note
I personally have been to Kamats Legacy multiple times and am smitten by two things there: their service and their rasam. So, if you’re looking for a relatively more affordable Onam Sadhya option, Kamats Legacy would be my personal recommendation.
South Of Vidhyas, too, is a lovely establishment with an elaborate feast as well as matching decor. The entire place turns into a little pocket of Kerala during its Onam celebration.
Summing Up
Food is an inextricable part of Onam, and Mumbai understands that well. So, if you’re looking for places to enjoy a delicious and elaborate Sadhya, whether with friends, a significant other, or alone, you can choose any one of these places and be sure that the experience you get will be well worth your money.
