MTR — Restaurant in Karnataka

MTR: A Legacy Lost in Greed and Paltry Portions Stepping into MTR, a restaurant that once evoked nostalgia and culinary delight, was a disheartening experience, a stark reminder that even iconic legacies can be tarnished by blatant commercialism. What was once a beacon of authentic South Indian cuisine has devolved into an overpriced, under-portioned sham, resting solely on the laurels of its 75-year-old name. The most egregious offense? The price gouging. ₹100 for literally two spoons of Kharabath is not just expensive; it's an insult. This blatant disregard for fair pricing extends to the entire menu, where every item feels excessively marked up, seemingly because they believe their brand justifies highway robbery. If you're genuinely hungry, prepare to shell out ₹1000 per person – a sum that would get you a feast of superior quality and quantity at almost any other self-respecting establishment for a mere ₹200-₹250. The portions, tragically, are as minuscule as the prices are inflated. Everything felt like a sample, leaving you feeling more peckish than satisfied. It's clear that quantity has been sacrificed at the altar of profit, leaving diners feeling short-changed and utterly ripped off. Adding to the frustration was the utterly irresponsible and non-attentive staff. They seemed more preoccupied with anything but serving customers, often unresponsive and difficult to flag down. It's evident that the concern for customer experience has been entirely overshadowed by their relentless pursuit of profit, leveraging their brand legacy to hike prices without any commensurate improvement in service or quality. MTR is no longer the culinary institution it once was. It's a sad testament to how a once-respected brand can be ruined by sheer greed and a cynical exploitation of its own history. Save your money, and your appetite, for a place that still values its customers over its...

MTR is a very popular restaurant in Bangalore and has many branches now. We visited in Kanakapura Road today. It's a must-visit for anyone in the city. The dishes are wholesome, delicious, and cooked with ghee. Standout items include Rava Idli, Masala Dosa, Khara Bath, Kesari Bath, and Fruit Mixture. The filter coffee is also highly recommended.

Despite being crowded, the service is quick, and the staff is hard-working. The waiters are attentive, and the food is served promptly. The pricing is justifying considering the quality of the food. Some reviewers mentioned that the meals offer great value for money.

The establishment is well-maintained and clean.

Due to its popularity, this place is very crowded sometimes (specially weekends) and food serving time is longer.

Limiting the options also a bad move, for example - Rava Idly is available only after 10:30am. Staff Behavior is very friendly and welcoming.

Some reviewers felt that the prices were on the higher side, especially for certain items. But, Condidering quality and quantity is justifying.

Overall, MTR is a blend of tradition and taste, offering a unique dining experience. The majority of visitors leave satisfied, making it a must-visit when in Bangalore. The iconic status, combined with its rich history and quality food, ensures its continued popularity. However, it's advisable to visit early to avoid long serving times and to have a wider...

A dozen kids from DPS come for a birthday celebration and create a ruckus much to your inconvenience, rest assured that your peace of mind is only of secondary concern to the management. On bringing to the notice of the staff that the noise was utterly irritating, destroying the ambience for the rest of the customers, all we got was a helpless response from them stating that if kids do not make noise who else will. Firstly, the restaurant isn't a party hall that has been rented out for birthday celebrations and ensuing games. Hence, the convenience of each and every customer has to be taken care of. Secondly, if the management is so hesitant to confront such disturbing crowd who happen to come there, then shut the restaurant for rest of the public and entertain only the noisy crowd. Why inconvenience the rest of the customers and expect them to put up with all the noise...
