Finding a budget-friendly meal in any restaurant these days is rare. A simple order of a main course, appetiser and dessert sets us back by quite a considerable amount. People also complain about the small quantities of food and high prices. However, a woman was recently left surprised after seeing the cheap prices at a South Indian restaurant in Bengaluru. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), user Sahili Totale shared a photo of the menu and compared it with the famous Rameshwaram Cafe in Bengaluru, which is known for its South Indian cuisine.
"What in the Rameshwaram are these prices," Ms Totale wrote while sharing the picture. In the next line, she also disclosed the location of the restaurant - Bengaluru's Taaza Thindi restaurant, which is in Jayanagar. According to the picture of the menu, a single idli and vada at the restaurant costs Rs 10, while a masala dosa costs Rs 20.
Take a look below:
Ms Totale shared the post a few days back. Since then, it has garnered nearly 500,000 views.
Reacting to the tweet, one user wrote, "This is wayy better than rameshwaram." Another added, "You guys are so lucky the prices are insane. In goa we get overpriced South Indian food in so called new age QSR outlets. Dosa is Rs 120- Rs 150 and tastes like crap."
"Wow! This is what I used to pay 15 years back in Mumbai. Wish they came with this pricing or even marginally higher in Mumbai," commented a third user.
