10 celebration ideas for Diwali evenings

Diwali is India's biggest occasion for eating out with family. Restaurants light up, menus turn festive and every table becomes a celebration. Here are ten ideas to make yours memorable.

1. Book a private corner. Most restaurants set aside a corner or terrace for family Diwali dinners. Ask when you book.

2. Choose a celebration menu. Curated thalis with sweets, starters and mains take the ordering stress off the host.

3. Order the Diwali cake. Yes, cake. It is now a tradition in urban India to cut a Diwali cake with family.

4. Add the Selfie Mirror. Your family in Diwali outfits is a photograph waiting to happen. Tag the restaurant, get rewarded.

5. Personalize the greeting. Ask the restaurant to place a personalized greeting card for your parents or elders.

6. Plan for kids. Order kid friendly starters early so the little ones stay happy during long dinners.

7. Try a video menu. Video menus help elders and kids pick faster than text.

8. Book valet parking. Diwali traffic is real. Choose a restaurant with valet.

9. Skip aggregators. Book directly on amealio and save your family from the delivery scramble.

10. Return next year. Restaurants that remember your Diwali order feel like family. Ours does.

Happy Diwali from the amealio team. Celebrate more. Remember forever.
