Tried the MTR podi dosa and it was absolutely great—flavorful and perfectly crisp. We also had the wada and neer dosa, both of which were satisfying. The coffee was nice and strong, just the way I like it, and the tea was good too. A solid spot for authentic South Indian snacks and beverages!

We visited this MTR outlet recently for having our breakfast. We had a great experience.
We tried below items...
1. Masala Dosa (tasty)
2. Podi Dosa (must try)
3. Curd Vada (must try)
4. Mini Tiffin
5. Masala Tea
All items were equally good. Must visit place for enjoying South indian delicates.
In case you are sitting in ground floor, little crowded. Cheaper food. First floor is less crowded and costlier.

Well a great place indeed, truly maintaining it's legacy and fame. The masala dosa and the vada was crispy and really good, the idli was extremely soft and spongy, the buttermilk was good enough, the coffee was a bit bitter but you have the option for sugar and jaggery so you can add sugar/jaggery according to your taste. They may provide some extra milk for the coffee. Overall the place was quite clean, the service was fast enough. The place could get a bit crowded with the time so if you reach the place early you may find a seat for yourself. No parking space is available so you need to park your vehicles safely beside the road. Reservations can be done in advance ( I am not aware of the terms or condition if any). Well if you wanna enjoy a decent and proper south Indian tiffin and breakfast. this place is indeed a must try. The prices seems reasonable enough and quite fair as well.

A Timeless Bangalore Culinary Journey at MTR (Mavalli Tiffin Rooms)
Our evening visit to MTR was an absolute delight, a true testament to the legendary eatery's enduring appeal. Stepping into MTR feels like stepping back in time, with its charming, no-frills ambiance that speaks to decades of culinary tradition.
For dinner, we opted for the special thali, and it was nothing short of magnificent. Each component, from the array of curries and vegetables to the perfectly steamed rice and a crisp papad, was a testament to authentic South Indian flavors. It was a well-balanced and incredibly satisfying meal that truly showcased the breadth of MTR's culinary expertise.
Beyond the thali, we indulged in several other MTR classics, each delivering on its promise of deliciousness. The dosa was archetypally perfect – golden, crispy, and served with their signature sambar and chutneys that are simply unparalleled. The rava dosa offered a delightful textural contrast, light and flavorful. The bonda soup was a comforting revelation, with perfectly soft bondas swimming in a savory, aromatic broth.
And of course, no MTR meal would be complete without their iconic bisibele bhat – a rich, comforting, and subtly spiced rice dish that is a meal in itself. We also enjoyed the cooling and tangy curd rice, a perfect counterpoint to the more robust flavors.
To conclude our feast, a steaming cup of their famous coffee was the ideal finish. It's strong, aromatic, and provides that quintessential South Indian coffee kick that leaves you feeling utterly content.
Before leaving, I couldn't resist picking up "The MTR Story" book. Having now delved into its pages, I can confidently say it's a must-buy for anyone interested in food history, the evolution of a culinary institution, or simply a fascinating read about the legacy of MTR. It offers wonderful insights into the brand's journey and ethos.
Our evening at MTR was more than just a meal; it was an experience. It's a place where tradition meets taste, delivering authentic South Indian cuisine with unwavering quality. Whether you're a local or a visitor, MTR is an essential stop for anyone seeking a true taste of Bangalore's culinary heritage. We left feeling nourished, satisfied, and already planning our next visit.

MTR 1924 Indiranagar is truly lives up to its timeless reputation. The pricing felt fair, considering the exceptional quality and authentic taste.
We tried there both the Thalis, and every bite reflected the rich culinary heritage that MTR is famous for.
The service was prompt, and the staff was courteous, ensuring a smooth and pleasant dining experience. The ambience also stood out clean, calm, and inviting, creating the perfect setting to enjoy classic South Indian delicacies.
If you are visiting Bangalore, MTR 1924 in Indiranagar is a must-visit for anyone who wants to experience authentic South Indian food. Highly recommended.

Average outlet with a different Dosa and a rawa Idli. I found dosa decent and a bit different which is good. Rava Idli was different but I didn't find it facinating. Else, I didn't find anything special in this. The place was smelling, may be because it rained that day. But washrooms were very dirty.
Kesari Bath is better avoided. It doesn't taste good.
Yashkirat Singh (☆ 2/5)

Well for starters, its opposite to the famous Rameshwaram Cafe but nevertheless MTR is a legendary Eatry in itself and the best part is you can sit and eat in peace unlike the ( you know where )
1. The masala dosa was bang on. Crispy yet soft and filled with smashing masala. It's not accompanied by the red tangy tomato chutney but one could request and the staff is kind to catter to it. Pour that ghee from that cute bowl and only as much as you need. (Rated -4/5)
2. Medu vada - The vada was good but it felt a little pricier compared to some other places but definitely worth a try.
