They use pure ghee in their food, no doubt. The puris are quite fluffy and they dont absorb too much oil. Kesari bath is amazing. Masala dosa felt a bit too overhyped. Granted, it is quite delicious, but not quite the best in the city in my opinion. Deducted 1 star for the price. Their prices could be a fair bit cheaper.

Food:Masala dosa - What fascinates me about MTR is the batter consistency of their dosas. The wow factor in their dosa is the distinct flavour which every dosa has. When it comes to masala dosa it is their crispy outer with the fluffy nucleus. The mild-spiced potato masala was very fillingGhee pudi dosa - A generous amount of ghee poured all over the dosa and a heavy rain of the spicy powder on top of it was like icing on dosa; super spicy, soft and with the chutney it was WHATTAWOWNeer dosa - Interesting dish made out of rice flour; flimsy and soft, had unique taste owing to the key rice ingredients; was served with sweet pooranam for the side. Initially was sceptical about the combination but a bite of the dosa with the sweet filling, it was ecstacyPoori - Blown up poori with mild oil content; came with potato chilli and is definitely worth trying onceKharabath - This is like a flavoured upma; had red spices with nuts all around, buttery and filling on the wholeButton Idli - Mini idlies dunked in sambar gravy; soak the idlies so that the flavours get better along every bite; not too spicy but had great lentil and masala tasteBadam Halwa - Oh wow, desserts just got better; the ultra rich and smooth halwa with kesar was JOY; so sweet with overflowing consistency of the gheeFilter coffee - Perfect end to any south-indian meal; rich in chicory, strong decoction leading to the best filter coffee out hereAmbience/Price:This place has great seating capacity since there was never a moment when we had to wait for our seats. The whole setup is well lit with good space all around.The service too was lightning quick with very less waiting time between sessions.One of the best pocket friendly veg places in BLR with so much to offer to people like us. Off-street parking would please many.

Best place to eat Masala Dosa. This is really special because unlike other Masala dosa we get it has green chutney inside. Coffee was also great.YOU need to try it atleast once.

Great food, but this time failed to meet our expectations. Masala dosa and coffee was flop. Kesri bath, Puri, Rava idli was amazing. As usual crowded have to wait in the lobby for the turn.Service also bit slow.

We usually go to MTR for satisfying our south indian craving. Our all time favourite is rava idli and masala dosa. You must also try akki roti.

MTR is a somewhat of a emotion for Bangalore people. Their South Indian food is undoubtedly better than most places in town and food is a no nonsense good comfort food type. They serve ghee or butter with your dishes and they compliment each other really well. Their coffee is amazing as well. The masala dosa was excellent as well.

MTR is a known name to most Bangaloreans so it comes as no surprise that this is one great option for breakfast ... A must try is the Masala dosa as the smear a green chutney in the inside of the dosa that makes it yummy. Do finish your meal with filter coffee

Review №13

Very good food ...we tried masala dose, it was super. We also tried besibede bhath and it was just amazing...we tried veg Sandwich it was decent. But here you should try south Indian only.. and if you have good appetite then go for unlimited meal. Its just awesome

Tried this place as i had heard a lot about the quality of food and service. Wasnt disappointed at all. Ghee dosa, vada and badaam halwa was amazing. 5 stars to the service as well.

Review №21

Nothing great about the taste here and nothing praiseworthy about the (sloppy) service either, so I wonder what it is that this place gets the misleading 4-5 stars. All items are priced very high, so that teaspoon-quantity of ghee served, which gets mentioned in many reviews, better be pure ghee, I say. I have been here a few times, sometimes simply for a change and at other times on invitation from friends, and I have tried different items from the menu, so this feedback is not based on a single visit. During a recent visit on a weekend around lunchtime, the place was overcrowded like a busy bus terminus. Absolutely no social distancing was either enforced or observed, and that was a shocking sight.

Review №35

Masala dosa comes with a light green chutney spread over it & with separate ghee and tastes good; Filter Coffee is excellent. Dishes are not too spicy (unlike many other fast food centres, who do it to reduce the intake capacity), and are generally good, but you have to pay more for the ambience and the name.

Perfectly Roasted With a spread of Chutney and spiced potatoes inside.Would suggest to Mixup ghee with Chutney For Great Taste.. (Only if Chutney Is served Without pouring water Into it)

The food is nice although it did not live up to the hype around the brand, so it was an anti-climax in that sense. Ambience is nice and traditional.

Pathetic service. Unfriendly and lethargic staff. One afternoon after a meal here, I had an online meeting to attend which was after 10 minutes and I was really sleepy, so just put my head down. A server woke me up abruptly and spoke really Rude. He was like dont sleep here. Get out. And other things in an angry tone. No manners and professionalism let alone politeness.

Trusty old MTR still serving delicious special thalis.Naturally, there will be a wait before being seated. But the staff is courteous, food is delicious, and the experience is pleasant.Located on 5th floor, lifts are available. Parking space beside the park in front is limited. Restrooms are available.

Review №47

Please do yourself a favour and avoid this horrifying nightmare of dining experience. They have zero crowd/order management skills. They treat people waiting like they are doing them a favour by serving them when they can. This brand is an unfortunate blot that we cant seem to get rid of. People just love their mediocre food for some reason and they keep up their arrogance in the name of popularity.

Its an experience. Its a heritage restaurant in Bangalore. Service was good. Idly was really delicious. Other items that we had ordered were also good. Cost is quite high. But just to get an experience of The MTR. Providing ghee as side dish is the best ever tradition from MTR. Though it looks crowded from outside, there is enough room upstairs where table service is provided and you can eat peacefully .

Review №52

Nice place with lots of people. Food was tasty. Service was good. We wanted to have mini meals but since it was weekend were not served. So we ordered a mini tiffin and a special meal. Of the special meal portions were generous and items many we ended up wasting food. Its better to up the price of mini meal in weekends rather than removing from the menu so that people like me can also enjoy. At least we could help each other but they wont allow to share. Regarding sharing also just tell the people that if you share, only one serving of every item shall be given. People can order 2-3 items and share with each other.

I dnt no how people will choose this place. Visited for known persons invite.This place is like a railway station. After taking ticket only we need to onboard the train.-: Quality please do not ask.-: 100 times i asked to give juice.. finally servant agreed and gave water.-: They are charging more than 250 i think. not worth for the money.-: My request better carry rice from home and give them to cook-: They use BROKEN RICE to prepare Puliyogare, Bisibelebath and Rice. road side street food is for much better.-: Every one wants to make money including me but i am not soo much greedy to make.

I really loved the place and its ambience. Its situated on the 4th floor.The service provided is by far the best. They also have a waiting area if there is no table available for you. They will come to take the order after you have seated.There are various kinda of meals and soth Indian food is available. In my opinion the Dosas are best served here.Taste wise the dosa was really the best I have eaten so far.Sauf is also served with the bill and you can pay through any payment mode.P.s. - you must try tye masala dosa.

One of the best Vegetarian restaurant 👍🏻You will need to starve for a while and then go and have a full Special meal. You will enjoy to the core. They have a very big list in the Special meal menu.You will enjoy almost every thing served in the special meal right from the welcome juice till Icecream with fruit salad and beeda. If you are damn hungry, just go for it. Please do not waste food. You may ask them to serve in lil quantitiesThey manage in batches during lunch time. It’s little crowded on Sunday afternoon. You will need to reach lil early and book for table.They also have wide spread in Ala carte menu. You have many dishes to order and relish the taste!No valet parking and you will lucky enjoy to get parking most of the times unless there is a party at ground floor hall. This restaurant is in 5th floor and they have a lift.Supervisors and attendants manage very well and friendly.
