We booked an onam sadhya here & was very disappointed. Although the food was tasty, the festival special was very poorly managed. Lack of staff apart, the guy didn't know what was what. When asking for payasam he would offer the moru.
& we had some items missing from the advertised menu as well such as pulliserry, inji puli, rasam which never even made it to our table. Also they totally forgot to put glasses or offer water.
There was also a lot of waiting to get the actual curries that go with the meal. Disappointing experience, but the payasam was excellent, I would much rather if they offered parcels to go for the sadhya.
Hope you guys improve on the service next time & advertise what you will actually provide on the menu. Disappointed!

When you advertise for a special meal, make sure all the dishes are ready & available. I did not want white rice & l came for Matta rice. This is not Kerala Sadhya. Sadhya Sambar, Pulinji etc nothing was authentic Kerala style.
