Pai Dosa

We've been here at Pai Dosa on Airport Road for quite a while now. It's right in Chakkai, Thiruvananthapuram, just across from the Government UP School. If you know the area, you've probably seen us when you're headed toward the airport. Most days start pretty early because we have to get everything ready for the morning crowd. The school across the street means it's a busy spot, and cars are always moving past on the main road. Sometimes it gets a bit noisy outside, but that's just how things are in this part of town. Our regulars are mostly locals from around Chakkai, but some travelers stop in on their way to catch a flight too. It's not a fancy place, just a regular shop where people stop by when they're hungry. A lot of our time is spent cleaning up and making sure things are in order. The building is at No.Tc31/541 and it’s easy to spot if you are looking for the school. Word of mouth is how most people find us, or they just live nearby. No big advertising happens here. It is just us working every day, dealing with the heat and the rain. Knowing most of the faces who come through the door makes it feel like home. We've seen a lot of changes on Airport Road over the years, but we stay right here in the same spot. It is a simple life of making food and talking to the people who walk through our doors every single day.
