another review written from the gate.
i understand this place is legendary, a crowd puller to the max. but that doesn’t excuse the old man sitting at the entrance, the ‘one who decides’, to be downright rude. i went up on a saturday morning, politely greeted him and asked if a place for one was available. in a very rude huff, he dismissed me by saying this: “no place, you forget your chances.”
i would have normally walked away understanding, but the last part of what bad grandpa said irked me. his cocky behavior might make him look like a hero to unsuspecting crowds thronging to his eatery (and his staff), but how different on all levels are his dosas from those in famous malleshwaram/seshadripuram eateries? i love the dosas in ctr and janatha hotel, not to mention umesh dosa, hvr etc. having not eaten in this indignant grandpa’s place, i can’t say much but assume.
legendary, maybe. but don’t go by hyped and promoted reviews. the food might be only as good as the service. and when the man at the door asks you to “forget about it”, you can imagine how little he values customers who have made his place what it is today.
try ctr & janatha instead. it’s so nice when the food is excellent and the staff is polite.
