The praise did not go unnoticed by the restaurant. Prosi shared Shashi Tharoor’s post on their Instagram handle, writing, “A special moment at Prosi! We were delighted to welcome Dr. Shashi Tharoor, a celebrated author, Member of Parliament in India, and former UN Under-Secretary-General. During his stay in Vienna, he shared how much he enjoyed his daily Idli breakfast with us. Moments like these remind us why we love bringing the authentic taste of India to the heart of Vienna.”
A home away from home, Prosi is known not only for its Indian restaurant but also for its exotic supermarket. Customers can find imported goods, fresh vegetables, and spices from Asia, Africa, and Latin America at Prosi. And of course, their fluffy idlis, which are now officially Shashi Tharoor-approved!
Many of his followers also jumped into the comments section with their reactions. One wrote, “These tiny restaurants are amazing,” while another added, “Starting the day with proper idlis in Vienna sounds like such a treat. Having that supermarket right across makes it perfect for homesick travellers. These kinds of places become lifelines when you’re missing the comfort of familiar flavours.” Honestly, we couldn’t agree more.
