I am an ardent fan of MTR. This is the best place to your lazy Sundays with good healthy food. It is not only good for morning breakfast they have a good thali system for lunch. Evenings you gotta try their shavige bath. Just a tip, go with an empty stomach because the food there is so tasty you will end up eating a lotđ
The best cooked and served South Indian dishes, donât miss to relish the amazing food at MTR.
Well maintained and following all the rules of the government đ
Waa craving for this since lockdown but went down yesterday and had themm
One of the very best places for South Indian food in Bengaluru. And by far the most affordable as well. And they serve ghee with the dosas, yum.
I visited this place during their lunch hours which is from 12.30 to 3.30. During this time , they only serve MTR meal which costs around 260rs per person. The entire menu is to die for. I absolutely enjoyed their welcome drink shot. The meal was yummy but their dosas are definitely something you won't forget ever.
Only thing to mention is there is always waiting line for some reason for these meals. Management have to resolve this issue.
MTR is one of the best south indian restaurants to visit. Their masala dosa and khara bath is great!
A brunch at MTR is something that is a must try. Not surprisingly, its always crowded ! Well, if you ever find yourself inside the Mavalli Tiffin Room (MTR) - never miss the thick and crisp Masala Dosa that is loaded with Ghee which definitely makes you go Awww..... Also, how can you ever miss the hot hot Gulab Jamuns at MTR ? - Love it ! ~ For more food and restaurant reviews, follow @TheHappyTummyTales on Instagram #MTR #MTRMasalaDosa #MTRGulabJamun #TheHappyTummyTales #tastyfood #recommended
Masala dosa is good..n coffee is little on the strong side.
I had the mini tiffin combo which has idly,bonda , Kara bath , kesar bath , masala dosa and a cup of coffee and all of them were mouth watering moreover the combo is priced at just 155( including tax). Perfect breakfast place and not at all heavy in the pocket.It has a got a good ambience which resembles old times and is rudimentary.
Old is Gold
You have not experienced Bangalore if you have not been to this legendary outlet. Always crowded be patient enough to wait before you get a seat. Try the Rava Idli here because they are the people who first made it! Their masala dosa and coffee is also must try.
Visited MTR Restaurant in Bangaluru for a quick lunch. Had Podi Dosa.... it was simply out of the world. Autherntic Carnatic food. Would love to visit again whenever I am in Bangalore.
MTR will always be a gem. Dosas, though a bit greasy are super delecious. You can literally taste the rich flavour of ghee in every bite you take. Rava idlis and Akki Rotis are also a big win. Do not leave without ordering the filter coffee.
Must haves - Plain Dosa, Rava Idly, Akki Roti,Neer Dosa, Filter Coffee.
Can Skip - Idlis, Tea, Rava Dosas.
MTR, located in Indira Nagar. We have tried this place as a friend had told us thatâs its one of the must try places in Bangalore. It turned out to be a great place for food but the ambience was not as expected.
We have tried :
1. Masala dosa: this felt like a ghee roast dosa with little more ghee on its side. The portion size was much smaller than the regular ones in Hyderabad however it tasted amazing! The portion size felt perfect without feeling full.. Must try!
2. Sweet bun: by the name we were very curious to try this ! This turned out to be a great pick too... it looked like a poori but tasted sweet with a tinge of banana flavour in it. It was served with coconut chutney and veg kurma! Portion size: two poori type buns per plate.
This place serve authentic south indian food for breakfast , lunch and dinner.
You will required advance booking for any meal because this place remain always full .
They serve delicious south indian food must try their special thali in which they serves variety of south indian food. Also try filter coffee.
.
Must visit this place for breakfast or lunch
Tried their special meals. This is how my experience was,
it all started with that one masala dosa made out ghee with podi and welcome drink.
It is one of the best veg meals I had đ
This meal contains -
Juice, Kosambari, Palya, Poori, Masala dosa, Sagu, Rice, Papad, Rasam, Sambar, bisibele bath, Payasam, sweet, Kaara, Curd rice , pickle, salad w/ ice cream and beeda.
A typical Karnataka food and names in Kannada too

Overall Great and hygienic
Authentic dosa. Always a nice place to visit for breakfast. Itâs usually a bit crowded but the wait is worth and the service is very prompt
My favourite and go-to place for breakfast in Bangalore. Since this place is quite near to my workplace, I end up visiting this so frequently. I mostly visit this place for only breakfasts but its worth the visit every time.
Whenever I visit, I order their:
Masala Dosa
Rice Idli
Kharabaath
Filter Coffee
This place gets buzzing the moment it opens in the morning so if you are looking for breakfast, make sure you visit early around 7-8 AM else you will be the one waiting for few minutes.
No better place to have masala dosa and filter kapi, been here couple of times. Love the dosa that comes with ghee and filter kapi is legendary.
MTR is the place where no one can wrong with food or service. They have many dishes to try south indian and little bit of north indian food too.
So I have tried masala doa, filter coffee, onion dosa, neer dosa, rava idli, juice etc.Â
Every food is too good with a authentic taste, flavor and aroma. They have ample space to sit where one can enjoy there food peacefully.
They have a huge menu where you will get the best food with a best taste.
I really love their fast service and the place. I have tried MTR at many places and this place never disappoints me.
Overall anyone can go and have good food over here.
Taste wise 5/5
Service 5/5
Rate wise very affordable
MTR 1924 Indiranagar outlet is located in a very posh part of Indiranagar with many other restaurants nearby. I liked the masala dosa as it was the right amount of crispy, with good aloo masala inside, served with a cute tiny bowl of ghee. Amongst the accompaniments with dosa, sambhar and coconut chutney were average but clearly the tomato chutney stands out and would fo well with not only dosa but idli as well. The neer dosa is good but a little pricey. I feel Rs. 50 would hv been the right price for it. Amongst accompaniments the sweet grated coconut halwa is good but too sweet so they should make it less sweet. Also instead of serving coconut chutney alongside the neer dosa, restaurant should serve the tomato chutney as it will go better given neer dosa is light and bland and something tangy goes better.
The typical MTR! Just must faster and less crowded!
We ordered in the usual .filter coffee, with sugar separate. Ghee masala dosa is really heavy! Should be shared by 2 people atleast! Kesari bath feels like it's dunked in ghee!
The service is super quick with a bill on your table the moment you ask.
Overall! Same food! Better, modern ambience.
Authentic Karanataka food . We had akki roti , Bennemasala dosa and coffee ... Absolute value for money .

We went here with the hiped expectation.. Based on some ppls review.. We just felt masala dosa to be good.. Nothing outstanding.. Vada was tasty. Filter coffee was also good..
Ideal place for Lazy Sunday brunches.
Old canteen style vibe; Podi Dosa and Rawa idli served with ghee can be truly categorised as comfort foods that you need on Sunday mornings :)
Must try filter coffee that with its authenticity will be needed to bring you back from the food coma ;)
A visit to this South Indian institution for an authentic breakfast is a scrumptious affair. This place is always buzzing with foodies who you will see relishing on some variety of South Indian dishes. A must visit indeed. And I keep coming to this place quite often.
Heard a lot about this place so finally had a chance to visit it. Ordered for masala dosa ragi dosa and chow chow bhaat. The masal dosa was out of world crispy and filled to brim with potato masala served along with ghee authentic sambar and chutney. The coffee helps to digest the food so do order one for yourself. The ragi dosa was good however not extraordinary and can be skipped. Chow chow baat is combination of rava upma and kesari baat chow chow baat being extremely flavourful and kesari baat mildly sweet. What I loved about place is they handle crowd too well fast service and mild flavor to suit everyone's pallet.
Bisebele bhaat was amazing. Authentic Tatse. The masala dosa served with ghee on the side is now one if my favourites dosas to have. Mint chaaas with ginger was amazingly good too! ;) canât wait to try their Rava dosa from evening menu.
One of the oldest and best restaurant which serves South Indian cuisine in Bangalore.
If you are in this city then you should pay a visit to enjoy the local cuisine.
From snacks to meals everything is worth a try.
During peak hours you may have to wait to get your table so plan accordingly.
Came here along with my family for dinner.
We ordered the following dishes
Mangalore Buns
Ghee Masala Dosa
Onion Dosa
Mini Meal with Puri
Mini Meal with Dosa
Filter Coffee
and
Sweet Lassi
This is a pocket friendly joint and staff here are also friendly incaseyou need any suggestion for your meal.
A crowded South Indian place perfect for authentic yummy food. Be prepared for long lines though. It makes for a perfect light breakfast. Do try their filter coffee and rava idli.
Yummy food ..the khara bath and coffee is a must try..service is fast and place is usually crowded in the evening
Staff are friendly here...
It's a legendary name & quite rightly so!it's crowded during breakfasts but the service is quick.we ordered a masala dhosa which comes with separate ghee & tastes delicious.the rava dhosa is also healthy & yummy.we had chandrahara in desserts (available on Sunday only) & that was good too but a little too hard to break with spoon.the coffee wasn't upto the mark.i highly recommend visiting it if you are up for some authentic south Indian cuisine.
It's a very nice place that serves authentic karnataka food.On weekends for lunch they serve only special meals which include poori, masala dosa, pulihora, bisbele bath, rice, rasam, sambar, salad, papad, sweets, curd rice, juice, ice cream and sweet pan. All this for Rs 260 per person which is value for money. Plz note you cannot reserve table, however they take advance amount and within 10-15 min of waiting time, they allot you the table.
The best South Indian food you can find in the city. Great rava idlis and dosas. Do not miss the filter coffee here. Also real good benne dosas.
The food is amazing but the service sucks. The elderly gentleman (apparently a cashier named Raghu) who sits at the counter in the morning has no clue how to talk to or behave with customers. He is rude and dismissive and shooes away people like they're stray dogs looking for free scraps of food. I'm sure an institution like MTR must have been build with a lot of hard work and humility. Someone should teach this man a thing or two about that.
Amazing South Indian food. Must try- rava masala dosa and beer dosa.i love their vada too. The waiting time generally at the rush hours is 15 to 20 minutes. The prices are very affordable.and also while waiting u can have their coffee from the counter.I really love this place for morning breakfasts.
This is a nice place to try all of the south indian food items at once. Love their style of serving as well as the taste of the dishes.
Make sure you go on a ln empty stomach as the thali can be overwhelming.
Go to this place to break your fast on a Sunday as their thaali is to die for! Kickstart with some awesome pulpy grape juice followed by crisp poori, subzi, masala dosa loaded with ghee, sumptous bisibele rice and of course steamed rice with sambar and rasam! Yes there is curd rice too.. If that was not enough you get 4 different desserts with your meal which includes a yum homemade icecream, Malai sandwich and more..
If you come in early in the morning, you can go in for the famous mini tiffin which has a little bit of everything- idli, wada, upma, halwa. To end it all, grab some filter kaapi!
Not really a con, but this place has a first come first serve system but the service is extremely fast so you can expect to get a table in 10-15 mins
Being a North Indian, I like dosas from North. I donât like South Indian dosas. I know this is debatable and trust me I get into one every time. đ
But I loved the masala dosa served here.âșïž
The Mangalorean buns were little too sweet for my taste. But this place have definitely changed my view.đ€Ș
If you're looking for authentic karnataka cuisine, this place is a must-visit. We were a bunch of 20 people, ordered special thali. It had akki roti, poori, vangibath, bisibellebath, plain rice, sambar, rasam, curd rice, payasam, jamoon, custard ice cream and paan. Each dish was exquisite. Surprisingly, there was no wait time, staff was polite, service was quick, in spite of the restaurant being packed. Big fan !
Go to place when you the South Indian food craving!! Simple place that serves the best dosas in town and do try the bonda soup here. Reasonably priced and sufficient quantity. End your meal with a strong Filter coffee!!
Great food. special thalli spread is almost same as what you expect to see at South Indian weddings. There was a waiting queue of about 30 mins, but totally worth it.
The best South Indian meals at Bengaluru,a lot of variety and we were just a bit disappointed with Rasam it was a bit bland
the staff were very kind and quick too with their service
Looking at the 2 most important aspects:
Ambience-4.5/5
Taste-4.5/5
We went for lunch and ordered Special Thali. It was absolutely delicious and Mohan looked after us really well with a big smile to his face. The quality and variety of food is just amazing. Will come back over and over again. Thanks MTR.
The food here is authentic, tasty and hygiene place too. The food is little bit spicy if you are not with spice. Noon time is best time if you want to have a south indian meal. According to food the rate is ok.
Best South Indian restaurant in Bangalore. I would recommend eating the masala dosa, rava idli, bisibelle bath and the Dahi vada đ€€ Very good service and the food is reasonably priced.
Love mtr food, my favorite is karabath. This restaurant is on high price but it is worth penny. Quantity is less and service is quick and fast.
My fav: ragi dosa, masala dosa and karabath.
Saturday lunch done right!
Enjoyed their Special Thali, it was worth every penny. It costed me 260 per thali. Which so worth it. For the amount of different items they serve u on the thali.
Taste -5

Highly recommand this place if ur craving for some authentic south indian mealđâ€
I would say this is the perfect place for south indian breakfast.
Ambience: The place is quite big and you can easily get a table. However, its not a fancy place.
Food: We ordered masala dosa, khaara bhat, bisebelle bhath, badam milk and there sunday spl sweet.
Everything tasted amazing. A must try.
So ,if you are in banglore and looking for refreshing udipi breakfast, this is your stop .I probably had the best rava idli . One star less because of unavailability of menu items .
You should not go expecting a great ambience but will have the best south Indian food for sure. In frame masala dosa .
Masala dosa was authentic and so was Pongal with a bit of sourness. The filter coffee was average.
Recommend booking as the waiting time can be lengthy.
Food -4/5
Value for buck - 4/5
It was very pleasant experience in Restaurant. Items served hot and fresh. Loved the ambience. Suggest to anybody looking for quick bite and vegetarian delights
A Must visit place if you wanna how South Indian food. However the staff is not very courteous thatâs the reason the loose 1 star
I had two unique South Indian dishes
Bisibele bhat 5/5 - sweet and sour flavoured rice with wholesome vegetables and served with special Dahi a must try
Benne dost - 5/5 Very thick but cripsy dosa with masala served with different chutney
Filter coffee - 5/5 I donât think this requires and explanation
One of my favorite places to have authentic Karnataka breakfast. They lose a star for making me wait for a table(40mins) and at the table (15mins) to take the order.
The food is freshly made and tastes really good. My fav dish is Mangalore buns, Neer dosa and Khicdi. I have tried Masala dosa, Idly, vada, Rava idly and coffee too. The quantity is just right.Â
The menu is not over priced either. I will choose MTR anyday.
It is located on 100ft road
Outlet with ample seating space.
Parking - roadside parking.
Food -
I tried below items.
1) Masala Dosa
2) Idli
3) Uthpam
4) Rose Milk & Mango Lassi
5) Filter Coffee

I had heard about
this place a lot and decided to visit here during my visit to Bangalore in May 2019.
The above listed all dishes were too good and were prepared in ghee. One cannot have more than a single dish.
Taste of food, price and service is 4/5.
Area of improvement - Presentation and Hygiene.
Ambience- 3/5Â
Service - 4/5
Price - Reasonable
The best masala dosa ever. The combination of the ghee laden dosa, with the masala and chutney was amazing!! The filter coffee is good. Also, the dessert on sundays, is a must have. So, do go here on a Sunday, but be prepared to wait coz thereâs always a queue.
A lazy Saturday morning is the perfect excuse to find yourselves at the very famous MTR at Indiranagar for some mouth watering breakfast. Although you'd have to be a little patient to get a table here, once you get it, there's nothing to stop you from have pure joy served to you on a plate. Their masala dosa which is accompanied with hot ghee is the perfect recipe for happiness! Don't forget to try their badam halwađ€€đ€€
Amazing Dosas! I can only think of this place when I crave for authentic Dosas. The place has a casual basic ambiance and youâll love the filter coffee.
Almost similar to their authentic MTR masala dosa, which you can only have max 2 in a day... As it is thick crispy buttery delicious.
Tried the vada, upma and sheera too... Vada was yummm very crispy, upma and sheera was just okay. Ambience is good too, be ready for a 10-15 minutes waiting in the Peak hours.
Always end your meal with the filter Coffee.
Price is tiny bit high.
The food is good. Quality and hygiene is definitely there. It's a little overpriced.
I didn't like the filter coffee/tea here. There are better places in Bangalore to get a good filter coffee.
Apart from that, everything is fine.
MTR Plain dosa and coffee is a must try. I forgot to photograph the filter coffee! The khara bhat and Kesari bhat are delicious too. And of course, if youâre there for lunch get yourself a mini meals or an unlimited meal.
Unique blend of taste and style of serving the best South Indian cuisine in the town. The service staff take pride in providing quality and typically delicious food with a smile.
Overall experience is very satisfying and excellent.
Hi Google users,
I had visited MTR Indranagar branch for late breakfast on 15-Aug-23. We had the below items Masala Dosa, Plain Dosa, Kara Bath, Kesari Bath, Rava Idli and Coffee
The best item was the Masala Dosa with the extra dollop of ghee. The masala quantity was excellent and the dosa was crunchy and yummy. The Kesari Bath was very tasty with pieces of pineapple and cashew. The coffee was strong and a great way to finish the sumptuous breakfast.
This is a must visit place for breakfast or lunch if you are in and around Bangalore Indranagar.
Regards,
Deepak.
The place retains authentic MTR taste. Curd Vada, Ghee Dosa all good. Pongal if you like the more watery type excellent. Coffee is the real winner after the food is had.
We ordered the special thali which offers 21 items and unlimited food. Just tasting each item got us full.
The legend of Bangalore.
One of the beautifully looking restaurants with its old charm and decorative interior. The interior will take you back to the old bangalore charm as well as in the present time as well.
The food is awesome a little bit pricey but keeping in mind the restaurants authenticity its okay.
The service is vary good with a smile.
It van get a bit crowded in the weekends so plan your visit accordingly.
The food was simply delicious and I was impressed with the variety and quality of dishes, the ambience of the restaurant added to the overall experience, making me feel comfortable and relaxed. What truly stood out to me was the exceptional service I received from your staff. From the warm welcome to the attentive service throughout my meal, everything was done with care and professionalism. It was evident that the team truly cares about their customers.
Found this place to be overrated. Food is good and not exceptional. Coffee was passable. Place is accessible and have decent seating capacity. Service was good.
Just had filter coffee and plain dosa, and my taste buds were satisfied to the core.
Must visit if you are from North of India to understand how a real plain dosa should taste like.
My first time visiting this particular branch and i have to say, this one's the best for sure, better than the OG branch as well. We had their lunch meals and masala dosa. We were here on a Tuesday after around 1:15pm, around 15mis wait time. Masala dosa is always perfect, crispy, so much ghee, delicious masala! 5/5. The meals are incredible tho, so many dishes, one after the other, from grape juice, poori, dosa to lemon rice, bisi bele bath, sambar, rasam, curd rice, badam halwa and so much more! Absolutely value for money. Must visit!
When we talk about MTR ( Mavalli Tiffin Room), the first thing that comes in our mind is Rava Idli. Rava Idli is the best in MTR and donot miss the Kesari Bhat ( suji halwa) also. Coffee is little strong so may not be to the liking of everyone. They don't have their own parking but one can find street parking in the nearby areas.
Great place for South Indian food. I recommend the khare bath, thatte idli, rawa masala dosa and masala dosa. Do not miss out on the hot badam milk. They serve it hot and cold.
Finally tried MTR ghee dosa after being in banglore for a over a year
The Ghee quality was excellent, like finger licking delicious
Coffee was also great.
Ghee dosa 120rs
Coffee 40 rs
Do try it out!
This is one of the best MTR outlets in Bangalore. The food is very good. It only serves South Indian dishes. Menu changes with the time in the day. The service is very quick. This place has the ambience of old restaurant. Finding a parking space might be challenging in the evening. One of the must visit South Indian restaurant chains in Bangalore.
Pro tip: Amazing Manglore buns are served here. But it's is served only after 8:30 am. Don't miss it of you are visiting this place after 8:30 am
Having been here twice in three weeks, I can attest that MTR is a perfect place to satiate your hunger for breakfast. The brand needs no introduction, and you can Google them to learn more about its legend.
With a spacious ambiance and ample seating, it offers a variety of food options, especially the traditional South Indian breakfast. Their special meals are my favorite which comprise one serving of Juice and unlimited servings of Kosambary, Palya, Sagu, Poori, Dosa, Rice, Sambhar, etc. On my last visit, I even grubbed on other items like Rava Idli, Khara Bhath, Kesari Bhath, Masala Dosa, Neer Dosa, Dumroot sweet, and Bisibele Bhath. They were delicious and filling, enough not to make you hungry for the next few hours.
The quality of the food served here is excellent.
Cheers!
