The Dubai Deira and Dubai Gold District Cluster of Hotels invites families, friends and corporate groups to celebrate Onam with an authentic Kerala Sadhya, available from 15 August to 31 October 2026. Bringing together traditional cuisine, cultural experiences and the spirit of community, the celebration offers flexible dining options for intimate gatherings as well as larger group and corporate events.
At the heart of the experience is the traditional Onam Sadhya, a multi-course vegetarian feast that forms an integral part of Kerala’s harvest festival celebrations. Served on a banana leaf, the meal brings together a generous variety of traditional dishes, accompaniments and desserts, offering guests an opportunity to experience the flavours and customs associated with one of Kerala’s most cherished festivals.
Known for representing abundance, togetherness and gratitude, Onam is traditionally celebrated by bringing families and communities together around a shared meal. Reflecting this spirit, the experience has been designed to accommodate everything from casual family lunches to community gatherings, office celebrations and private corporate events.
Individual Onam Celebrations at The Spicery
Guests planning to celebrate with family or friends can enjoy the Onam Sadhya at The Spicery, where the welcoming atmosphere provides a relaxed setting for smaller and individual bookings.
The experience allows diners to enjoy the traditions of Onam without the preparation involved in hosting a complete Sadhya at home. Families and friends can instead gather around the table and enjoy a leisurely festive meal that celebrates Kerala’s culinary heritage.
Group and Corporate Onam Celebrations
For larger gatherings, the Onam experience is available for group and corporate bookings at World of Curries, Lily’s Garden and the cluster’s function halls. The selection of venues provides organisers with the flexibility to plan celebrations suited to different group sizes and requirements.
Whether hosting colleagues, community members, clients or extended family, groups can enjoy a traditional multi-course Sadhya served in a festive setting. The experience offers organisations a meaningful way to bring teams together while recognising the cultural traditions of Kerala’s community in the UAE.
To make group celebrations even more memorable, optional cultural enhancements can also be arranged. These include a Maveli welcome, Thiruvathira dance performance, Chenda Melam, Pookalam floral decorations and other traditional Kerala-themed guest experiences.
By combining authentic cuisine with festive décor and cultural entertainment, the group offering transforms a traditional meal into a complete Onam celebration, allowing guests to experience the colour, energy and hospitality associated with the festival.
Guests who confirm their bookings by 14 August 2026 can enjoy the early bird price of AED 45 per person. The regular price is AED 55 per person.
Bringing together food, culture and community, the Onam celebration reflects the cluster’s commitment to creating locally relevant experiences for Dubai’s diverse communities. With options available for both individual diners and larger groups, guests can celebrate the season in a way that feels personal, meaningful and rooted
