Worth the wait 2012-03-26
You get the authentic Bangalorean taste, with good service. The heavy rush is a big mood dampener; not to mention, they make you sit in tables partially occupied already. The service is good and very efficient, the taste is the best you'll get anywhere. -

Overrated 2012-01-01
They charge you a bomb and then serve you till you can eat no more.
MTR was good once upon a time - now with many other better options, this place is just over rated.
The food is alright and quite ordinary.
Service is good.
Soak up the history around the place - that could turn out interesting. -

Legendary .. in all the wrong ways. 2011-11-28
I simply don't get all the raving reviews. Is it nostalgia? The "good 'ol days' effect? The same look and feel of the 50s that feeds into the 'old Bangalore' craving ? All that is fine and dandy but when it comes down to the basics - no restaurant should be exempt from high quality of food and service regardless of its place in history. Infact heritage locations such as these should be setting an example to the new places in town and show them how it's done. Had this place been new no one would give it a second glance today. People should want to come for the quality not just nostagia. MTR seems... read more -

Classic ... Antique 2011-05-09
Well They say Classic and antiques shouldn't be reviewed ..
This is a place you take an outsider who doesnt know anything about south India cuisine Proudly ..
MTR .. The word which reminds anyone of the funny Jamun ad . is one place where the word authenticity is not written anywhere but is felt everywhere ..
The waiting here can remind anyone of a temple darshan .. Well , Nevertheless i have been here number of times and I can write only good things about this .
The word for the kind of service here is "Sincere " ,, I am really surprised some people felt different... read more -

The ideal home food 2010-05-20
I and my fren were there on a Thursday and we were craving for home food. I have been to MTR when the meal was Rs.80. Now it's Rs.130. The qty served is unlimited. We were served sabakki paisa, huli, rasam and all brahmin food including Thairvade. The items were more and the grape juice juice was very yummy. Fultoo paisa vasool and reasonable home food. -

Worth it in every bite! 2010-05-13
Awful ambience, one look at this place from outside makes you wonder whether it's a mistake venturing to eat here! Rude waiters, nosiy, sultry place, you get to the food after all this then you realise your effort is worth it! What will aptly describe the food, Iam at a loss, great rava idlis, dosais, masala dosais! The rava idli comes with coriander chutney, sambar, poatato masala, and the dosai with a small helping of fresh ghee! Stunned beyond words such a mediocre looking joint serves such good food! -

Worst hospitality one can Experience! 2010-03-18
Had visited this outlet supposed to be best in what they Serve, Mavalli tiffin room. First i had to wait for 25 mins just to be attended and to heat up my head the attitude of the wait person, who was so angry with what asked me to wait for one hour for placing my order.He was so rude while enquired about the availables. He just ignored my response and left place with a big disgust. I really wanted to grab and trash the guy. but made up mind never to visit this place even if they serve heavenly food. even if you a big palyer in the market and you delive superior quality food, you should have basic... read more -

Lived up to its reputation 2010-01-03
Thanks to info on this site, we went to MTR at the right time. A 45 minute wait was accurately predcted. Once seated, service was fast. Masala Dosa, Rava Idli were great. The chutney was delicious. Sambar is only served in the AM. Coffee was excellent. In short, an excellent "tiffin" experience for a very reasonable price. In addition to the timings mentioned on this page, snacks are also served from 3:30 - 7:00pm with dinner from 8:00 - 9:30pm (timings are approx). -

Sad, but true - the legend is waning 2009-12-20
Having lived away from Bangalore for a long time, it had been quite a while since I had visited the legendary MTR at Lalbagh Road. So one Saturday, when the family visited Lalbagh, we stepped into MTR at around 6:30 p.m ( packed as usual)
Since I am part of the industry, I tend to be more understanding when restaurants commit gaffes. Also, as a foodie it is really the food that takes preference. Unlike a lot of reviewers here I have no qualms whatsoever about the indifferent service or the conservative ambience or the long waiting periods at MTR. For 50 bucks a person, you will be foolish... read more -
