This September 5, 2025, Sheraton Hyderabad Hotel invites guests to celebrate Onam, the beloved harvest festival of Kerala, with a lavish Sadya-inspired buffet that brings the rich culinary traditions of God’s Own Country to the heart of Hyderabad.
Held at Feast, the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant, the experience promises more than just a meal—it offers a cultural immersion steeped in tradition, festivity, and flavour.
A Grand Tribute to Kerala’s Harvest Heritage
Onam commemorates the mythical return of King Mahabali and celebrates Kerala’s golden harvest season. Central to this celebration is the Sadya—a grand, multi-course vegetarian feast traditionally served on banana leaves. Every dish in a Sadya carries symbolic meaning, rooted in the region’s agrarian traditions and culinary wisdom.
At Sheraton Hyderabad, this spirit is being recreated with loving authenticity.
A Traditional Feast on a Banana Leaf
Executive Chef Satya Kumar and his culinary team have curated a spread that honours Kerala’s age-old cooking techniques and native ingredients. Guests can expect an elaborate lineup of traditional dishes, including:
- Avial – A medley of vegetables cooked in coconut and yoghurt
- Theeyal – Roasted coconut-based curry
- Kootu Curry – Yam and plantain cooked with black chana and spices
- Olan – A subtle curry with ash gourd and black-eyed peas in coconut milk
- Banana Chips, Pachadis, Thoran preparations, and more
- Payasams, including the much-loved Ada Pradhaman, to round off the meal with sweet nostalgia
Each dish reflects the depth of Kerala’s culinary heritage, promising a soul-satisfying, aromatic journey through the coastal state.
Culture Served with Every Bite
To elevate the mood, the venue will be adorned with traditional Onam décor, including intricate Pookalam (floral rangoli) designs, lending colour, warmth, and authenticity to the atmosphere.
Chef Satya Kumar shared his vision:
“Onam is about community, culture, and culinary heritage. Our goal is to bring the true essence of Kerala’s harvest festival to Hyderabad through a menu that reflects tradition and authenticity. By sourcing native ingredients and following traditional cooking methods, we aim to transport our guests straight to the heart of Kerala.”
