Onam is not just about what’s on the banana leaf. 🌿

It’s about the people around it.
The extra spoon of payasam.
The fight over the last banana chip.
The pappadam mixed into everything.
The “I’m full” followed by “Just one more spoon…” 😄

Every Sadhya has its characters. Every family has its stories. And every Onam table has a personality of its own.

This Saturday & Sunday, come celebrate those little traditions, familiar flavours and unforgettable moments at Ilai. 💚

Which one are you at your Sadhya table?
