If you’re craving authentic South Indian fare with a legacy that spans nearly a century, MTR 1924 in Brickfields is a must-visit. The restaurant proudly carries its heritage forward from its roots in Bangalore, India, and you can taste that tradition in every bite.
I had the Masala Thosai and it was simply excellent. Perfectly crisp on the outside with a soft, flavourful spiced potato filling inside. It was served with creamy coconut chutney and tangy sambar, both of which complemented the dish beautifully. My friend ordered the Plain Thosai and it was just as good , golden, thin, and crispy with a lovely crunch.
What stood out were the freshly made chutneys, especially the green chutney with its vibrant, herbaceous flavor. The sambar was warm and comforting, packed with authentic South Indian spices.
The service was fast and friendly, with staff who were attentive and welcoming. The space itself was clean, relaxed, and had the comforting aroma of roasted spices and filter coffee in the air.
We also noticed the Michelin 2025 mention on the menu and after the meal, we can confidently say it’s well deserved.
If you're in Brickfields and looking for a South Indian meal that truly delivers in taste and tradition, MTR 1924 is a fantastic choice. We’re already planning a return and next time, the filter coffee is on our list.
