The Joy of Sharing a Sadhya:
Sunday, our little corner of Taamaraa felt a little more like home.
We had the privilege of hosting a private Onam Sadhya for a small gathering of friends, cherished patrons and well-wishers. We deliberately kept it intimate, with just 40 guests, so that the Sadhya could be experienced in the warmth and ease of our ground floor; unhurried, informal and close.
And somehow, that was exactly what we hoped it would be.
There was laughter, conversation, generous helpings of food, and the kind of comfort that comes when people sit together over a meal with no hurry to leave. Most importantly, there was so much genuine appreciation for the food. Our chefs received compliments that truly touched us, and seeing people enjoy every part of the Sadhya made all the hours of preparation worthwhile.
For us at Taamaraa, feeding people has always been something deeply personal. There is a very special kind of joy in preparing food for others, watching them savour it, and knowing that something made with our hands has brought them happiness. That feeling, the contentment of having fed someone well, is perhaps one of the simplest and purest joys we know.
Onam Sadhya, in particular, has quietly become one of our favourite occasions at Taamaraa. Our chefs look forward to it with a childlike excitement, taking immense pride in bringing together the many flavours, textures and traditions that make a Sadhya so special.
Sunday reminded us once again why we love doing this.
We were also deeply touched by the many enquiries we received afterwards asking if we would host another Sadhya. Many of those messages came from guests who had experienced our Sadhya last year, and to know that they remembered it, returned for it, and wanted to experience it again means more to us than we can put into words.
Next year, we hope to plan it well in advance and open the doors to many more of you who would like to share this beautiful tradition with us.
For now, a heartfelt *thank you* to everyone who joined us yesterday — for your presence, your warmth, your kind words, and for receiving our food with such wholehearted appreciation.
You made our day very special.
