Predominantly a western culinary tradition, Thanksgiving ceremonies in India largely matched what most Christians in Goa practiced and referred to as ‘Ladin’ or ‘Ladainha’. Thanksgiving is about expressing gratitude, celebrating abundance, and fostering relationships among family and friends to honour a bountiful harvest and year. In recent years, however, the euphoria and joy have spread to dining and feasting with relatives and friends. TheGlitz recommends the top restaurants that serve classic traditional dinner with all the trimmings.
