Hotel Dwaraka - Little known wonder

My latest find has been this little joint tucked away in the southern part of original bengaluru. This place is near NR colony and one would definitely mistake it for just another regular self service hotel (where u stand and eat) if they have not heard about its legend. I also did not know anything about this hotel, though I have stayed most of my life in south Bangalore and hardly 2-3 kms away, until one of my friend took me to this place.

Even as far as the ambiance and the look of the place is considered, its just like any other darshini hotel. There is a distinct Blue board that stands out, but that is when compared to the mundane shops around. But still, one closer look and you will see something different about this hotel. The times that i have been into this hotel, which i do, atleast 4-5 times in a week, the cashier has been very polite. As a matter of fact, he keeps coaxing you to buy coffee/tea after you buy your Dosa or idli.

The specialty of this place is its khali dosa served with unlimited chutney. 2 bucks extra can fetch you some butter and another 2 bucks, potato sabzi. The khali dosa comes hot and soft and really tasty. Even the other snacks here have a authentic South Indian touch with a distinct flavor to it. Also you feel like this place has a history to it, as they have lot of regular customers and certain unspoken way of how things are done here. For ex. the guy serving the food at the counter always refers to people who are ordering again with their first order. Fancy this "ondu Khali dosa, Khara bath tagondavarige".

On certain probing with my friend who took me their and certain other online blogs, i found out this place was with its own history and interesting anecdotes surrounding it. For beginners it was in Bull temple road and then was shifted here and the reason for its shifting has many stories around it.

Whatever the stories are, I would not mind listening to them as long as they are with the Khali dosa served their. Takers anyone?
