“What in Rameshwaram?” Bengaluru Woman Discovers Shockingly Low Dosa Prices in Viral Post

Bengaluru and the story of its high price have become synonyms, and with that, the food prices are also sky high. A normal order of your meal will cost you a lot. And more than that, small quantities of food are also something that people don’t like. And what if, amidst all of this, you find a place where the prices have not changed for decades? A woman on the social media platform X was surprised after seeing the low prices at a South Indian restaurant in the tech city of Bengaluru. 

Sahili Totale, an X user, shared a photo of the menu, and in the caption, she compared it to the prices of the famous Rameshwaram Cafe, which is a popular place for South Indian delicacies. 

In the caption, she wrote, “What in the Rameshwaram are these prices. 📍: Taaza Thindi” she has also given the location of the place, which was Bengaluru's Taaza Thindi restaurant, in Jayanagar. And it was really shocking, as the price of an idli was Rs10, whereas you can get a dosa at Rs 20 only.
