Feast On An Onam Sadhya Fit For Maveli From These Bangalore Restaurants!

Whether you're a Keralite or just someone who enjoys Kerala's delicious food, we know Onam would inevitably conjure up images of a sumptuous sadhya.

And, if you're wondering where to head to or order from for your Onam spread, we've picked out some of the best in town. Happy Onam, folks!
