Preparations for Onam kickstart 10 days in advance and each day of this festival holds its own significance. Onam Sadya is served on the last or 10th day of Onam. Steeped in culture, Zambar decorates its restaurant with aromatic flowers (Pookalam) and Vilakku ( Lamps). The staff also dress up in Kerala’s traditional attire to impart an authentic experience for customers.
