The Joy of Sharing a Sadhya:

Sunday, our little corner of Taamaraa felt a little more like home.

We had the privilege of hosting a private Onam Sadhya for a small gathering of friends, cherished patrons and well-wishers. We deliberately kept it intimate, with just 40 guests, so that the Sadhya could be experienced in the warmth and ease of our ground floor; unhurried, informal and close.

And somehow, that was exactly what we hoped it would be.

There was laughter, conversation, generous helpings of food, and the kind of comfort that comes when people sit together over a meal with no hurry to leave. Most importantly, there was so much genuine appreciation for the food. Our chefs received compliments that truly touched us, and seeing people enjoy every part of the Sadhya made all the hours of preparation worthwhile.

For us at Taamaraa, feeding people has always been something deeply personal. There is a very special kind of joy in preparing food for others, watching them savour it, and knowing that something made with our hands has brought them happiness. That feeling, the contentment of having fed someone well, is perhaps one of the simplest and purest joys we know.

Onam Sadhya, in particular, has quietly become one of our favourite occasions at Taamaraa. Our chefs look forward to it with a childlike excitement, taking immense pride in bringing together the many flavours, textures and traditions that make a Sadhya so special.

Sunday reminded us once again why we love doing this.

We were also deeply touched by the many enquiries we received afterwards asking if we would host another Sadhya. Many of those messages came from guests who had experienced our Sadhya last year, and to know that they remembered it, returned for it, and wanted to experience it again means more to us than we can put into words.

Next year, we hope to plan it well in advance and open the doors to many more of you who would like to share this beautiful tradition with us.

For now, a heartfelt *thank you* to everyone who joined us yesterday — for your presence, your warmth, your kind words, and for receiving our food with such wholehearted appreciation.

You made our day very special.

It was so difficult to resist the Sadhya and actually sketch instead! 🫢

But honestly, it was such a fun experience, trying to capture the beautiful spread while surrounded by all those tempting dishes. 🥥 🌴

Thank you so much, @taamaraa_nl for inviting me to this wonderful Onam Sadhya. 💛
It was lovely to celebrate a little bit of Kerala here in the Netherlands. 🇳🇱🌸🌺

Still taking it all in ❤️

We didn’t expect this.
People showed up… and then called their friends to come. We had to open up tickets twice and so many of you showed up at the door to buy tickets.

You explored everything - the food, the conversations, the bingo, the poetry corner.
You stayed longer, you engaged, you made it what it was. You told us you enjoyed.

Some of you told us this felt like a step up from last time.
Some said this should happen more than once a year.
Some of you also gave us constructive feedback

We’re listening 👀 and taking it all in with open hearts.

This was far from perfect, but we are taking clues and getting better as we go.

Thank you for believing and cheering so loud 😊

A very happy heart full of gratitude.

Lots of love,
Team Made by Her Festival 🫶🏻

Chennai to Utrecht Success Story 🇮🇳➡️🇳🇱 | Celebrating Dreams & Birthday Moments 🎂 Yesterday was a very special day for me ❤️

Whenever I have to take an important decision in life, the first person I call is Sangeetha mam from Chennai. Her journey is truly inspiring. After struggling for almost 5 long years, she finally opened her own restaurant @taamaraa_nl in Utrecht.

Today that restaurant has become one of the most loved places in the Netherlands with 2200+ positive reviews ⭐ within just one year of launch! 🔥

Last week was Tamaraa’s first anniversary and yesterday was my wife’s birthday, so I combined both celebrations and went for a special treat 🎉

It was also a great moment to wish Sangeetha mam continued success in her journey 🙏

Honestly, whenever someone who walked with you in life reaches greater heights, it gives a special kind of happiness and fulfilment ❤️

Surprising Sasikala with a small birthday cake 🎂 and a plate full of delicious seafood meals 🦐🐟 made the day perfect!

Sometimes happiness is simply celebrating the success of people you respect and the smile of people you love 😊✨

Today, Taamaraa turns one.
And as I sit down to write this, my heart is full. ❤️

Opening Taamaraa was a journey powered by belief. From the very beginning, we knew this was never meant to be just a restaurant, it was a dream. A vision. A feeling we wanted to share with our community.

Through every step, one thing remained constant; our unwavering faith that this dream would come to life. We trusted the process. We stayed committed. And slowly, beautifully, everything began to align.

On March 2nd, 2025, we proudly opened our doors.
A day filled with emotion, gratitude, and celebration.
The day our dream became reality.

What followed has been nothing short of incredible.

This past year has brought joy, growth, learning, and unforgettable memories. And none of it would have been possible without the people who are the true pillars of Taamaraa.
- Our leadership team and partners who believed in the vision from day one.
- Our talented and dedicated chefs who deliver quality and consistency in every dish.
- Our guest experience team who create warmth and memorable experiences for every guest.

Behind the scenes, we have intentionally built Taamaraa with structure, discipline, and strong operational foundations because excellence doesn’t happen by chance. It is built with purpose.

And then, there is you.

To our guests: your unwavering support means everything. You showed up. You came back. You celebrated life’s special moments with us. You encouraged us to keep getting better every single day.

A 4.9 Google rating with over 2000 reviews is not just a milestone, it is a responsibility. It motivates us to keep raising the bar and delivering the very best.

As we step into year two, we do so with gratitude, confidence, and even bigger dreams. We are listening. We are evolving. And we have exciting things ahead.

Taamaraa stands for heartfelt hospitality and incredible quality food, and that promise will only grow stronger.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in us.
Year one was just the beginning. ✨

With gratitude,
Sangeetha
Founder, Taamaraa
