Your sibling will make an irritated face when you go in for a hug, may not write you a heartfelt note, or reply to the reels you send them. But they’re still the person you call when something happens and the first person you want to tell when something really good happens.The bond has evolved over the years, too. From fighting over the bigger half to giving them the whole thing casually saying, “You have it, I am full.” You have grown up, moved out, have separate lives and somehow still are each other’s permanent 3 AM call. They’ve seen enough versions of you to know exactly when you need advice, when you need to vent and when you just need to go out and eat something good.So, for Rakhi, we’ve put together plans for all of it. Places to play and get competitive, family-friendly restaurants where everyone can find something they like, dessert spots for siblings who always have room for something sweet, nostalgic favourites that have been around for years, and premium tasting menus for when it’s finally time to spoil your sibling properly. Elder siblings, take note: consider this part of your annual duty.Chances are your sibling might pretend they don’t care about anything big for Rakhi this year. But ask them where they want to eat and watch how quickly they have an opinion.

It’s easy, familiar and far more fun than exchanging another generic gift box.Vibe Check: Soft pastel-pink hues, Quirky doodle artWhat To Order: Overload Brownie, Millionaire Brownie, Red Velvet Pastry

Chances are, you still will.Vibe Check: Loud, Crowded, Vintage Hollywood movie postersWhat To Order: Penne Vodka, Belgian Chocolate Shake, Banoffee Pie
You don't need a big emotional gesture with your sibling. Sometimes it’s just getting out of the house together, ordering too much food, playing a game, catching up over dessert or sitting across from each other debating who’s the parents’ favourite. So pick a place, make a plan and spend a few hours together.Download the District App to reserve your table, enjoy the best offers, and discover your next favourite spot.
