I can understand what you are saying about the traffic - I do travel from whitefield area to Vijayanagar every day (close to 35 km one way). Weekends are those days I prefer to stay back home but sometimes I hop into hogging stops :)<br /><br />@ the.orchestra.of.life : Why don't you come down to Bangalore? I'll take you out for a treat:)ಅಶ್ವಿನಿ/ Ashwinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01429274307224478792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536128088184635468.post-26532844159655887932011-07-26T18:18:23.144+05:302011-07-26T18:18:23.144+05:30I want all in the pic for myself :PI want all in the pic for myself :Pthe.orchestra.of.lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00875851392457744498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536128088184635468.post-33140893907710863752011-07-25T15:37:59.140+05:302011-07-25T15:37:59.140+05:30Our uncle and aunt live near that area, and there ...Our uncle and aunt live near that area, and there was a time, years ago when we used to visit them often, they would always treat us to those lovely dosas of Vidyarthi Bhavan. Even in those days, one would have to wait for a long time to get a place to sit and eat, so we always packed and came home to enjoy the yummy dosas before it became cold.<br />I know it must be tasting very good if one had the patience to find a place and sit down to eat it.<br />The Bangalore traffic has become too much to handle and we hardly ever go that side, and our uncle also used to say the quality has gone down.<br />So many such hotels are there in Bangalore and even Mysore.<br />There is another very famous place which sells authentic Kalli dosas. But having moved to Whitefield, going to such far off places has become impossible.<br />The picture is really good. <br />I am glad at least you are able to visit these joints once in a while, lucky you.Rama Ananthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962222316822524699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536128088184635468.post-67067376631154279422011-07-22T09:38:25.999+05:302011-07-22T09:38:25.999+05:30@ Jeevan:

Do try visiting some of the places mentioned by blogger friends as well. They are good too.<br /><br />@ Insignia:hmmmm !! Those dosas make me crave for more..Janatha hotel - Yes thats another one Dad mentions.<br /><br />@ A: Welcome back! hope you had a wonderful cruise expedition. Thank you. I wish I could capture the smell through photography. The aroma of fresh ghee atop a white rice batter, the crispy feel and melting soft dosas - Perfect! Nothing can beat it.ಅಶ್ವಿನಿ/ Ashwinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01429274307224478792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536128088184635468.post-91803861666103702762011-07-21T20:17:54.224+05:302011-07-21T20:17:54.224+05:30Oh My God.

It’s one of the landmarks of Chennai for very long time and there the crispy Dosa was such delicious. <br /><br />Nice knowing about this place, seems to be my kind of one :) was around Bangalore lately for first time, will try if next time.Jeevanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14063201530500784222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536128088184635468.post-43683592422986572872011-07-21T11:13:33.593+05:302011-07-21T11:13:33.593+05:30@Irfan : Sure, do give it a try.

They are quite interesting places to pay a visit.<br /><br />@Pradeepa: Yep an art brought down a few decades!<br /><br />@Spicy sweet: I Agree with you Sahana, we need to let them know about the quality, I dont mind paying a few bucks more but I need those yummy tasting dosas. UD - another hop stop. I love their paddus[for people who are wondering what dish this is - its a form of dumplings made using the idli batter served with coconu chatni].<br /><br />@Harman: Yep the men there carrying these stacks are awesome - a delicate talented art.

One is Irani joint on Deccan - "Goodluck cafe" famous for omlet, Bun-Maska (Bun with lot of butter), and tea. Narayanmurthy and Sudha murthy used to meet up there before marriage (and she used to pay).<br /><br />There is one more similar one near Pune station - "Vahuman Cafe". It is also owned by an Irani and famous for similar stuff like Goodluck cafe. But the best part is the owner, all kids in the world would like to have such a sweet grandfather. When you are paying cash, he will talk in one-two sentences and that will make your day.<br /><br />--<br />Mahesh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
