Must try: Rava Masala Dosa and Filter Coffee

MTR also known as Mavalli Tiffin Room is one of the best places in and around Udupi to get a dosa. They have a long history of the restaurant which is decorated on their walls.

They use authentic ghee in almost all their products which requires oil and provides you with a very small sample of ghee along with your dish so as for you to authenticate the type of ghee they are using to cook their dishes.

All of their south indian dishes are mouth watering specially everything with Rava. Their sambar has a unique taste of it's own which you can't forget and their chutney being a very thick paste of coconut and spices.

This restaurant is a little pricey as you can tell that their dosa are around 90 rs each and one cup of tea is 30 Rs. But believe me when I say that it's worth every paisa you will be spending over here.

They are very uptight about cleanliness and there is a high chance that whenever you visit, you will find one person brooming the floor. Don't get me wrong, this is an amazing quality for a restaurant as it provides you with an insight on their hygienic levels.

Toilets in the restaurant is also very clean and hygienic. This restaurant seems to be a part of a Hotel which you can see right behind me, but caters to the tourists more often than just...

One of the worst experience i had recently in a Udupi restaurant

Note : This review is based only on the items we had ordered... Other items might be good... But m not stepping again to try anything else

Veg Cutlet : DONOT TRY THIS... I REPEAT .... DO NOT TRY THIS ... Look at the attached image.... Doesn't even look good.. One of the worst cutlet i have had in my life ... This restaurant should really remove cutlet from its menu.. it's really okay to remove a item from the menu if you can't provide the authentic taste... Cutlets available in Hotel Diana is 1000 times better than this ... My friends told me tat Hotel woodlands serves the best cutlet in town but m yet to try it.

Podi Dosa : Again.... Not worth it ... Hotel Swastik Dosa Hut (Behind Woodlands and also in malpe sea walk with a food truck) serves the best podi dosa in town.... Podi dosa in MTR was very very ordinary....

Bisibele baath : Average... Not gonna say this was the worst ... But nothing to praise either.... It was very average when comapred to restaurants branding

Coffee and Cold badaam milk : Both were really good.... Really liked the badaam milk

I really hope tat only Udupi franchise is below par.... Otherwise MTR wouldn't have been this famous... Definately not...
