MLTR - WAS MY FAVOURITE ROCK/POP BAND & IT WAS THE ONLY REASON I USED TO VISIT NAMMA MLTR BACK IN THE 2000’s ... As i used to stay few 100 mtr from this place in the 90’s, it was always one of the goto place fo South Indian breakfast... This place is again one of the rare well maintained legendary places which makes you walk into a time capsule, the history, the air, the aroma, the vibes are totally awesome!! ... Hats off to the management for maintaining such level standards!! The kitchen was spanking new clean... imagine this place is almost 100 yrs old ...!! In the Pic 📸 ➖Benne Sagu Masale, Benne Masale Dosae, Single Idli Vadae Sambhar Dip, Carrot Halwa, Hot Filter Kaapi. . . . Where ❓➖Mahalakshmi Tiffin Room (MLTR), DVG Road, Basavanagudi, Bengaluru. . . . Timings ⏰ ➖6:30 am to 11:30 am & 2:30 pm to 8:00 pm. (Wednesday Holiday). . . . Price 💵 ➖Rs. 150/- to 200/- for 2. . . . Bigbabafoodie Verdict 💯➖⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 . The ambience is again a time capsule, a well maintained one, takes you back to the 50’s or 60’s... so retro now !! I absolutely love it !! ... it was total houseful with the regulars enjoying their favv dosae... i was visiting after 3/4 yrs... so wanted to check after a long time... the Sagu Masale was a clear winner... brilliant & mind blowing sagu... veggies are cooked to perfection, good veggies are used, chopped in a professional manner... the benne masale on the other hand had perfect triangle dosae, with alugadde palya stuffed inside... the palya had simple temperings, with the potatoes not too starchy, but more delicate & luscious with some hard bits here and there for texture... ,the idli vadae sambhar was alright... the carrot halwa was a surprise... seems to be very popular!! ... but i am clearly going for the sagu masale !!

Visited this restaurant recently , the restaurant is located in Gandhi bazar next to mahila bangle stores. The restaurant can be accessed via NR colony through Gandhi bazar or through Basavanagudi by taking the left after the flyover when moving from Lalbagh towards ram Krishna ashrama. Coming to the food - 1.bonda soup - the samber is not your yellow samber that most restaurants provide , it was the authentic idly vada samber and it tasted really really good . The depth of flavour in the samber took me back to all the legendary restaurants like CTR, SLV, Vidyarthi bhavan etc. The bonda was good , it wasn't oily or overflavoured with pepper . The size of the bonda was adequate . 2 masala dosa - the aroma of the dosa was just mouth watering .visually it was very appealing , the neat roast of the dosa was clearly visible . The dosa tasted amazing , it was definitely one of the best dosa I have had . The main thing I wanna note is the chutney used inside the dosa is very different from what I have had before , it was spicy and really tasty ! The Aloo palya too was very different , it wasn't the usually palya . 3.mangaluru bhajji - the sight was again mouth watering , there were 4 yummy looking round bhajji , the flavour was there and it was really good . 4.filter coffee - the filter coffee was extra good here I wonder what's the speciality. The coffee was strong and the flavour was really good . The ambience is very retro , the double doors , the wooden benches etc . It takes us back in time . They have a separate family section seperated by a wooden wall . Overall the restaurant stands upto it's legendary name . A must visit for masala dosa lovers and coffee lovers and south indian breakfast lovers .

Have been wanting to try the food here for a long time as this tiffin room has been standing tall since 1930. Finally paid a visit here. The atmosphere was very contemporary reminding me of the hotels in old Bangalore. Was a bit excited. As we went early in the morning, we found a table and based on the recommendation, we ordered a Khali Dosa and a Masala Dosa along with a sambar dipped Vada. To begin with, the Khali Dosa was good and fluffy and tasted fine. It was served with chutney and sambar. The masala dosa here did not have the kempu (red) chutney instead had gatti (thick) chutney topped with aloo palya. Dosa was served with chutney. The Vada sambar was alright. The Vada was not a crispy one and the sambar was good. To be honest, I felt it to be a very hyped eating place. The taste was fine but not something that you miss out by not visiting the eatery. The presentation of the coffee was superb with a volcanic froth on the top but the taste was alright. The service was fine and the ambience for a Bengalurian is nostalgic.

MAHALAXMI TIFFIN ROOM DVG Road, Gandhi Bazaar, Basavanagudi, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560004 This place is 98 years old. Wanna see how was old school Bengaluru then u should definitely check out this place. There r very few places like this which hold the old school charm of Bengaluru. The menu is simple and consistent, with just a handful of items in the menu this place is gonna touch 100 years soon. Consistency is the key and 3 generations are present at the place one looking after the billing and the other for the service and the young lad is learning the business operations, when u hav such commitment then ur definitely ranked one of the iconic places in Bengaluru. Simple Khali dosa , masla dosa , idli and Vada and the super filter coffee ❤️. Definitely must try place Note : It's mostly crowded so plan accordingly. Taste - 😍 Service - ❤️ Ambience - 👌 (Old Bangalore vibes) Value for money - 👏 (Very budget friendly) Overall - 4.8/5 ⭐ ❤️❤️❤️

A friend recently took me to this place on DVG Road. The restaurant's name shortens to MTR like with the famous Mavalli Tiffin Room. This one though is far less crowded. Started in 1926 and so getting close to a century this restaurant too is popular amonf old timers of Bangalore. It has a simple menu apart from simple decor and ambience. Sweets that cost INR 20 per plate are displayed in a glass case. A private area for dining is behind the sweets counter. Dhoti clad waiters take orders. I took the Khali or Empty Dosa served with liberal helpings of chutney, sambar and sagu. The last accompaniment is a typical Bangalore one - a mix of vegetables garnished with Garam masala. The dosas were light, served two to an order and go well with the sagu and chutney. It couldn't finish the sambar. The prices are very reasonable. Go there for nostalgia sake and for simple, inexpensive and delicious food.

It's one of the legendary outlets. Didn't know much about the place before visiting, I was in DVG road for some shopping, while I saw the board which said established in 1926 😍 And any old Bengaluru lover can't ignore that, I got a inner calling that I had to go there!! Ordered one plate idly - it was soft, the sambar and chutney we're comforting 4.5/5 Special dosa - it's basically benne masala dosa which was deliciously crisp, slightly similar to the one in Vidyarthi Bhavan which is quite close from here. 4/5 Filter coffee - it just hit the right notes in terms of flavor and the aroma ❤️ 4.5/5 The service was quick enough as there was hardly any crowd when I visited. So for those complaining about the rush, please visit at non rush hours or weekdays to have a better experience. I'm happy to visit such places, they should be preserved. And no UPI or online payment is accepted, it's cash only.
