Jackky Bhagnani’s Dosa Love Began With A Street Food Shop
What sparked Jackky’s culinary journey was a small street-side dosa shop near his house. “There was this South Indian dosa wala named Mani,” Jackky fondly recalled. As a self-proclaimed “fat kid,” Jackky would sneak out for what he called a “second lunch” around 4:30 PM.

Denied by his family due to his frequent hunger pangs, Jackky found comfort at Mani’s shop, trading coins from his piggy bank for crunchy, buttery dosas. “Even if I had three dosas, with chutney and all, it would cost me around 110-120 rupees. I was sorted!” he laughed.
Years Of Observing Taught Jackky The Dosa Craft
Jackky Bhagnani revealed that simply standing and observing the dosa master at work for over four to six years taught him everything he needed to know. “I learnt every type—from Mysore dosa to sandwich uttapam,” he shared.
That hands-on exposure helped him replicate the same taste and texture at home. Rakul couldn’t stop gushing, “He makes amazing dosas, and not just plain ones—there’s variety, like schezwan dosa!”
