Okay. So this is me as I'm writing this blog
In any case, Thank you guys for sticking around for part two of the Dosa series!
Like the first part, I'm going to be talking about some of the best locations in Bangalore to stain your hands with chutney, hog a few Masala dosas and a fresh filter coffee at the end of the it. Sounds finger licking good doesn't it? So here we go.
1. CTR Malleswaram
CTR Malleshwaram is probably a hotel which is easy to pass by, knowing not it's heritage of pure Dosa awesomeness. Dressed in a cream coloured unassuming building, It's pretty easy to miss. Once you are in, you see fellow customers waiting eagerly for the famous benne(butter) Dosa which is their signature dish.
The butter used in these Dosas are sourced directly from the farmers of Nelmangla town of Mandya district and they lend a heavenly aroma to the dosa. One probably can nitpick on a few things such as the size of the dosas. Then again, Good things come in small packages. Regarding the pricing here, This one is a no brainer. You can probably have a filling meal with a glass of coffee within a hundred rupees which to me screams value.

2. MTR
A Bangalorean cannot think of a dosa without thinking about MTR. There are several locations of MTR restaurants in Bangalore including Lalbagh road which was the original MTR, Indiranagar and one outlet in Singapore. The Dosas here are one of the best you can find in Bangalore. The godlike Dosa and the piping hot filter coffee makes this one of the best breakfasts in Bangalore.
Here's one thing you probably did not know: MTR is the inventor of the now ubiquitous Rava Idli. During world war 2, there was a severe short supply of rice, the main component of Idlis. This made MTR experiment and discover that rava (semolina) was a suitable substitute for rice. One thing that appalls me here is the price of food here. 60 rupees for Masala Dosa is pretty expensive for one dosa.

3. Brahmin's Cafe
Last on the list and by no means least, We have the Brahmin's Cafe in Basavanagudi. This eatery is not only famous for it's Dosas, but it is also famous for it's Idlies and it's coffee which is considered one of the best in Bangalore. The specialty of this place is it's dosas with chutney pudi in them which leads to a unique flavor and sets it apart from other restaurants.
The chutney is pretty spicy so be careful while digging in. Bhramin's Cafe has become the go to place for breakfast for thousands of residents of basavanagudi.
