A legendary name in South Indian comfort food, this eatery has had Bengaluru eating out of its hand since 1924. Head to the dining room upstairs, queue for a table, and then enjoy as waiters bring you delicious idli (fermented rice cakes) and dosa (savoury crepes), capped by frothing filter coffee served in silverware.
It’s a definitive Bengaluru experience. Other MTR branches are far less atmospheric.
