Sadya · Thrissur & Ernakulam

Traditional Kerala sadya catering

A full vegetarian sadya, served on banana leaf in the proper order by our own team, for weddings, Onam, housewarmings and family functions across Thrissur and Ernakulam districts.

What a sadya is

The meal Kerala serves on its best days

A sadya is the traditional vegetarian feast of Kerala: rice at the centre of a banana leaf, with curries, side dishes, pickles, pappadam and payasam arranged around it and served course by course.

Every family has its own idea of the right sadya: the full traditional spread with sambar, aviyal, thoran, olan, kaalan, pachadi and more than one payasam, or a shorter leaf for a smaller function. We go through the dishes with you and agree the exact menu in writing. Rates are per leaf and quoted on request; see Menu & Packages for how pricing works.

Our kitchen is at Mookkannoor in Ernakulam district, close to the Thrissur border, so we can serve sadya across both districts, including Angamaly, Koratty, Chalakudy, Aluva, Perumbavoor and Kalady.

Occasions

When families ask us for a sadya

Wedding sadya

The wedding lunch at the hall, church, temple or home. We plan the number of sittings with you so that a long guest list is served in order, and we can pair the sadya with a non-vegetarian menu for another sitting if your family wants both. See wedding caterers in Ernakulam.

Onam sadya

Onam sadya for families, residents' associations, offices and institutions. Tell us the date, the venue and the number of leaves; Onam dates are booked early, so please ask in good time.

Housewarming sadya

For a griha pravesham or housewarming we serve at your new home, bringing our own serving equipment and clearing up before we leave.

Other functions

Baptisms, first communions, birthdays, anniversaries and parish or temple feasts.

Banana-leaf service and vegetarian-only handling

Banana-leaf service. A sadya is served on a fresh banana leaf, with the dishes in their traditional positions and in the traditional order, by our staff moving along the rows; payasam comes at the end. If your venue prefers plates or a buffet for a sitting, tell us when we plan the menu.

Vegetarian-only kitchen handling. If your function is strictly vegetarian, ask for vegetarian-only kitchen handling when you book and we will agree the arrangements for your order with you. Tell us about other dietary needs, such as no onion and garlic, or allergies, when we agree the menu.
