It came pouring down ,just minutes after we were out from the matinee show from Ernakulam padma .MG road already looked flooded with wheelers and the rain added to the havoc.Just because driving then, would have been more of a mess than anything else we decided to take off some time for Pai brothers Dosa restaurant.Situated in a sub road oppsoite to padma junction.
The hotel has quite a lot to boast about its history.It was started as a small road side eatery (thattukada sort of setup) and has grown to this rapport just because they delivered Dosa in a taste and look, like never before!One can read more on the walls of the restaurant!
Several combinations of Onion,egg,kada egg,podi(a mix of chilly and uzhunnu),bullseye dosa,omletete dosa,vegetable mixtures.......permutate to form all the variates in Pai bros Dosa kada.Along with this they also serve other regulars like puttu,poori chappathi,thairu vada ,rasa vada etc.
There are no waiters here to serve and would have to order and serve by self.Kada podi bullseye dosa,a normal masala dosa and an egg onion dosa was what we went for.Kada podi dosa was was the pick of these,though nothing to go gaga about.About 8 kada eggs bullseyed into a dosa layered with the podi, forms a taste that is quite new.The Sambar too tasted different from the routine stuff we get from hotels.They also provide you with a pickle sort of item with each of the dosa dishes.The Masala dosa and the egg onion Dosa were just ok.Have had better experiences with the two....!
Whats hot?
-Try some thing different.More items like Kancheevaram dosa,salt n pepper dosa and several other combos can be tried.
-Good ambiance for family
-Once you get into the sub road,it looks far away from the hectic traffic of MG road.
Whats not?
- Can improve on the taste of the Dosas served especially those versions without the bullseye .A copy paste of pai flavors is available in Kakkanad as well which too almost delivers the same items with the same level of taste! Nothing Exclusive.
- Cost can seem to be slightly on the higher side,for the feel they give for your tummy.
