Somewhere between that first sibling squabble and the moment you catch your brother quietly slipping you your favourite chocolate, the day of Raksha Bandhan has always meant more than the thread. It’s a ritual, wrapped in memories, some messy, many loud, all deeply personal. Ties may stretch, evolve, and even fray with time, but Raksha Bandhan is where the knots get retied, sometimes silently over a plate of steaming rajma-chawal, sometimes while fighting over the last piece of barfi. This year, that emotional palette is meeting its culinary match. Across India, restaurants, cafés, and kitchens are stepping into the frame, not to replace tradition, but to expand it. The simple home-cooked feast has a worthy counterpart now: curated Raksha Bandhan menus that understand the weight this day carries. These are thoughtful, intimate, and opulent food moments built around the idea of siblinghood.
Here Is A List Of 20 Raksha Bandhan Menus Honouring Sibling Love
Raksha Bandhan Menus Across Mumbai
1. Joshi House
In the heart of Worli, Joshi House lays out a five-course Raksha Bandhan menu that’s both soulful and striking in its execution. The experience opens with Moringa Shorba or Paya Nihari, setting a tone that’s more restorative than routine. Then comes a Sweet Potato Shammi Chaat, which is equal parts nostalgic and contemporary. This is followed by a choice of inventive small plates, from Mushroom Galouti Puff to the unapologetically rich Kheema Kachori. Mains dial up the indulgence with Laal Maas, Kolmi Crab Sukka, or Truffle Palak Saag crowned with burrata. And then, the dessert is a showstopping Ghevar layered with kulfi, rabdi, and seasonal fruit that’s crafted to pull siblings into shared bites and flashbacks.
