Who better to take us around the gullies of South Bengaluru’s crown jewel Jayanagar than actress Pranitha Subhash!? On our new Tere Gully Mein episode, we explored one of Bengaluru’s oldest neighbourhoods with Pranitha where we gorged on Hari Super Sandwiches and visited iconic spots like SLV for thindi. The actress echoed our sentiment when she said that dosas must always be enjoyed at darshinis.
Pranita Subhash Feels Masala Dosas Must Be Eaten Only At Darshinis
For those new to Bengaluru, darshinis are small quick-service restaurants in the city that are known for serving affordable south Indian food like dosas, idlis, vadas and filter coffee. Popular for their breakfast, darshinis are known for their speed, efficiency and pay-first-eat-later concept. Typically serving vegetarian fare, it’s go-to spot for working professionals who stop by for a quick bite, standing by metal tables to polish a plate of dosa and coffee ahead of a long working day.
While having breakfast with Pranitha in SLV, Jayanagar, she told us, “I feel something like dosa has to be eaten at a darshini. I feel Masala Dosas need to be had here. You can’t Swiggy it then the taste goes away.” She said SLV, Shiv Sagar are two examples of the many darshinis in Bengaluru, the city’s most-priced culinary possession. We did a filter coffee cheers with the actress. While sipping kaapi, Pranitha revealed that she has always been a Bangalore girl, particularly a South Bangalore girl.
She Is A South Bengaluru Girl
She was born and brought up in Banashankari. After getting married, she stays with her husband in Jayanagar. So, her mom and her place is just seven minutes apart. If she needs to go for shoot, she quickly drops her kids at her mom’s place. And of course, we had to ask her the best thing about Bengaluru.
No surprises for guessing! It’s the food of course for her. Apart from that she said it’s the vibe and just everything else. She feels Masala Dosa is something that’s central to Bangalore. Similarly, she is also a fan of the sweet pheni which you can find at
The Rameshwaram Cafe.
Well, do you also feel dosas should be best devoured at darshinis in Bengaluru?
