We visited the MTR on St. Marks Road (opposite SBI head office). It's a small place with great food. The South Indian dishes served here are yum. A lot of oil is used in the rawa dishes, but who is complaining?! We ordered for rawa dosa, idli and upma and all of them were great! We had some wonderful coffee... More

Being a food lover, I'm lucky to be a Bangalorean. At MTR, you can taste the best dosas, idlis, vades and most importantly, for me, the best chutney. This brand is over 85 years old. Wow! And still the taste is just amazing. The dosas here are amazingly crisp with the right amount of softness. Finger licking! I hate extremely... More

the atmosphere and service provided by them were more than awesome liked the service, the authenticity everything was mind blowing

1st opened in 1932 and still going strong, and if you are a foreigner like me and want to have a real exotic local dining experience, then this is the place to go. Taken by a local, we went for breakfast and it was difficult to get a table in this historic, atmospheric old building with lovely old photos of... More

MTR is a tradition for the traditional Bangalorean - not the nouveau Bangalorean drawn to the IT riches or the multi-nationals that have little knowledge of the old city as in Basavanagudi, Chamarajpet, Ulsoor or Malleswaram.
