In a surprising turn of events, an Instagram video showcasing the price of a masala dosa at Mumbai Airport has gone viral, leaving netizens in disbelief. The footage, shared on the handle “chefdonindia,” has ignited a storm of reactions, with many expressing astonishment at the exorbitant cost of a seemingly ordinary South Indian delicacy.
The caption accompanying the video provocatively declares, “Gold cheaper than dosa at Mumbai Airport. Only Rs 600.” As the camera focuses on the restaurant’s digital menu display, it reveals that a basic masala dosa with buttermilk is priced at a staggering Rs 600, while a benne khali dosa demands an even higher sum of Rs 620. Adding insult to injury, opting for accompaniments like lassi or filter coffee further inflates the bill.
The clip also provides a glimpse into the dosa-making process, showcasing a masala stuffing that some viewers have described as “dry.” The video, which has garnered over 9 million views on Instagram, has sparked heated discussions, with comments pouring in expressing shock and disbelief at the jaw-dropping price tag.
Even seasoned travelers, accustomed to the inflated prices of airport food, were taken aback by the steep cost of a humble masala dosa. Many questioned the justification for such a high price, considering the dosa’s appearance and flavor.
While the video has stirred controversy and triggered a wave of reactions, it has also brought attention to the broader issue of exorbitant pricing at airports. The incident serves as a reminder for consumers to be vigilant and inquire about prices before making culinary choices while traveling.
As the online debate continues, one can’t help but wonder if this viral video will prompt a reevaluation of pricing strategies at airport eateries, encouraging a more transparent and reasonable approach for the benefit of travelers.
