As the dosa revolution sweeps through the streets of Hyderabad, opinions remain as diverse as the dosa offerings themselves. While some hold onto the comforting embrace of traditional dosas, others find themselves enticed by the innovation.

“For me, dosas are more than just a dish; they’re a cherished connection to my roots. The out of the ordinary dosas might be enticing to some, but my heart remains loyal to the flavours that have comforted me for years,” says Mounika, a traditional dosa enthusiast.
