Bengaluru’s August food guide: Onam sadyas, Independence Day brunches, and Burmese tea-time bites
Bengaluru restaurants are preparing special Onam sadya feasts to celebrate the harvest festival in August. The guide highlights various venues offering both traditional vegetarian and non-vegetarian Kerala-style menus.
Why it matters
It serves as a cultural guide for local residents and tourists interested in experiencing regional Indian culinary traditions.
It is that time of the year again when we feast in honour of King Mahabali. We begin the line-up of Onam offerings with Chef Tresa Francis’ curated sadya. She will present a 23-dish sadya that begins with salt and cheru pazham and winds its way through tangy pickles, crisp fried bites, slow-cooked vegetable curries, hot red rice, and ends with sweet, indulgent payasams.

The vegetarian sadya is priced at ₹1,900, the non-vegetarian sadya at ₹2,600, and the kids’ meal is at ₹900. On August 26, 29, and 30. Lunch only: 12 pm, 1.15 pm, and 2.30 pm. At Bangalore International Centre Terrace, Indiranagar. For reservations, call 96116 52064.
