Oyster Bay Restaurant in Mysore, A Treat!

About a 10 minute rickshaw drive and you feel like you are in a different place. Outside the buzzle of India, within the restaurant... peace, air, quiet, sound of water running.  You may think you are in a Thailand resort or a high end Hong Kong restaurant.

Mylary Hotel - "Original! they have no branches" - amazing dosa!

And so here I was thinking that the Gokul Chats was the best dosa, until Seddu, our friendly rickshaw driver told us of Mylari Hotel, "I take you there madam"

And so Martina Jen and I ventured... it is about 10-15 minutes of the rickshaw but a REAL Indian experience, the three of us ate two dosas (they are medium size, see picture), and had a total of 5 chais, it all costed something like Ruupias 140... amazing!, and delicious.

Just so you know their dosas are fried in butter and come with some more on top.  They are really fluffy.  You need to go before 11 and at 5... those are the dosa times, or ask Seddu.

They were very friendly to us and we were definitelly the only westerners there, an adventure, do try and make it cause you might like it, A LOT

The kitchen


The water we did NOT drink


The plates lined up with banana leafs


Dosas hmmm... 


They only add the white thing, not the other soupy thing whose name I never remember


Pooring chai throughout all the cups at once


We asked for paper towels, they gave us newspaper pieces... really sweet.  Take your own sanitizer.  They do however have a sink with soap.  Oh, and you eat with your right hand only... no forks or anything like it


Enjoying our second cup of chai... lovely!


They were OK with me taking a picture of them after they took one of us... they are all so smiley and happy!


Decorations of the Gods


An article that claims they are the BEST dosa in Mysore... 


Ganesh, of course


Hotel Mylari... nice

Silver Nest - Beatiful Jewlery

Right before conference yesterday we visited Silver Nest, a wonderful place to buy jewlery.

Meena is really sweet and has lots and lots of toe rings, chains, beautiful necklesses, and it is all done in silver.

Not to be missed see the card below for directions, it is very easy, just one block from the shala.

Green Leaf Restaurant

Green Leaf is close to the Gokulam area, perhaps a 15 minute walk from the coconut stand.  The food is good and they pretty much respect the Indian timings for dinner and lunch, but they have "snacks" all day long (chineese noodles and dosha).

The place is clean but I would not drink their water as I did not see it being fully filtered.  For what I heard it tends to be very noisy at night.
