“Dosa originally dose was first invented in Udupi Karnataka. The closest to authentic dosa can be found in bangalore for sure,” a user wrote. “Sorry Gary… not this place… somehow it’s hyped … being a person from the south I don’t expect this amount of ghee in the stuffs and that’s totally a disaster and spoils the taste,” said another. “No no no. Not Rameshwaram café,” a netizen commented. “The gary mehigan was in bangalore and i missed seeing him roaming on the roads!!! The pain!” read still another post.

Mehigan, who describes himself on his Instagram bio as a “food obsessed traveller who loves sweeping roads to who knows where”, has earlier posted several videos of travelling to various parts of the country and experiencing different festivals.
