Dosa Calling, Indranagar
A couple of weeks back, my friend and I decided to eat at the famous Dosa Calling joint in Indranagar, Adyar.
The main attraction of course was its assortment of dosas which, included the usual varieties and a few innovative ones such as the mushroom stuffing, chinese stuffing and so on. But don't be surprised to see the thali, rice items, and the continental dishes listed in the menu.

As fate would have had it, just the day before, one of my colleagues had warned me about the cold dosas and the plain ambience and poor service. To add to this, he had also witnessed the chefs fighting with each other, thanks to the open kitchen.
I entered DC with mixed feelings and unfortunately, my fears came true. The staff took their own time to take the orders, and the dosa was served cold.
I had asked for the simple Podi dosa and I was absolutely disappointed. The dosa was just smeared with the Milagai Podi, instead it should have been literally embedded in the dosa and served hot with sambhar and chutney. I have had some of the best Podi dosas at the humble Karpagam Mess in Mylapore and the local eat outs in Kumbakonam.

I cannot resist dosas usually, but this time I had this irresistable urge to resist this place, and so I did with a heavy heart. This place was certainly not my calling!
