Malgudi Unveils Karnataka’s Hidden Treasure – The Iconic Mulbagal Dosa – in Dubai

Dubai, UAE – June 2025

Malgudi – All Day South Indian , the UAE’s go-to destination for soulful South Indian cuisine, is proud to introduce Dubai to a century-old classic that has remained a well-kept secret in the heartlands of Karnataka: the legendary Mulbagal Dosa.

After pioneering the Benne Dosa in Dubai, Malgudi now shines a light on another South Indian icon—the Mulbagal Dosa. Hailing from the temple town of Mulbagal in Karnataka, this dosa is known for its crisp golden edges, soft airy centre, and deeply satisfying fl avour.

What makes it truly unique is its traditional iron griddle cooking technique, where the dosa is slow-cooked on a well-seasoned tawa using generous dollops of ghee—allowing the batter to ferment and caramelize naturally, creating its signature contrast of texture and taste. At Malgudi, it’s served the traditional way—with two house-made chutneys and poli inji, a tangy ginger-tamarind relish that perfectly complements every bite. Starting June 6, this treasured dosa will be available at Malgudi in six variations, each crafted to stay true to its roots while offering something truly memorable to Dubai’s diners. “The Mulbagal Dosa is not just a dish—it’s an heirloom.

It’s been passed down from generation to generation, carrying the essence of Karnataka’s rich culinary soul,” says Chandrashekhar Rai, CEO – Malgudi. “Bringing this beloved classic to Dubai is a proud moment for us. We’re not just serving food—we’re sharing stories, memories, and a piece of home with every plate.”
