There are few meals in India that bring people together quite like an Onam Sadhya. Served on a banana leaf, relished with glee, and built around recipes that have been passed down through generations – it’s a celebration of a great harvest & good company! This Onam, PUBLIC Beer Hall & Snack Bar, Versova, is inviting Mumbai to slow down and experience this beautiful tradition with a special Onam Sadhya Pop-Up in collaboration with Chef Abhishek Joshi of We Idliwale. Available in two lunch seatings – 12 PM & 2 PM on 16th August 2026 (Sunday), the experience promises an afternoon filled with traditional flavours, untraditional chilled beers & great company !
The feast stays rooted in tradition while giving guests the choice of a Vegetarian Sadhya (₹1,300 AI) or a Non-Vegetarian Sadhya (₹1750 AI). The vegetarian spread brings together beloved classics including Avial, Olan, Kalan, Chena Erissery, Kootu Curry, Thoran, Pavakka Theeyal, Inji Puli, Banana & Jackfruit Chips, Matta Rice and a comforting serving of Payasam to end the meal. For those looking to explore Kerala’s celebrated coastal flavours, the non-vegetarian Sadhya adds dishes like Mutton Pepper Fry, Kozhi Porichathu, Koonthal Roast, Fish Fry, Meen Peera and the deeply flavourful Alleppey Fish Curry, creating a festive spread that feels both generous and nostalgic.
“For me, an Onam Sadhya is about bringing people together over food that carries memories and emotion,” says Chef Abhishek Joshi. “I’m happy to bring these recipes to PUBLIC and share the festive spirit of Onam with everyone who joins us.”
Sharing the excitement, Chef Sohini, along with Anup, Sahil and Nevil from the PUBLIC team, add, “One of the things we love most at PUBLIC is celebrating India’s incredible regional cuisines. This Onam, we’re opening our doors to a feast that’s rooted in tradition, made with care and meant to be shared. We can’t wait to welcome everyone to the table for an afternoon that feels just like home.”
Gather your family and friends, take a seat around the banana leaf, and let PUBLIC Beer Hall & Snack Bar bring the warmth and flavours of a traditional Kerala Onam celebration to your table.
