Sai Sagar (Shirdi)

Las-sea!

Sai Sagar could not have named itself anything else, given the sea of people that descends on it every day after a satisfying darshan of the Shri Samadhi Mandir, the final resting place of Shirdi Sai Baba. The least one expects after negotiating myriad fellow devotees at the temple is some good nourishment, and Sai Sagar meets the mark comfortably. The masala dosa is as good as it gets, with the right amount of potato filling and fresh sambhar, and the puri bhaji also packs a punch with 2 enormous air-filled bits of dough, and a rather heady concoction of the Marathi and the Tamil in the dry potato accompaniment. What takes the cake at Sai Sagar, however, is the lassi – the thickest and the sweetest of its kind. Have one full glass of this, and you are set to continue your pilgrimage to the other shrines nearby without ever feeling hungry.
