MTR Singapore

I tell you if I can eat MTR dosa every day, I will. Have been eating them for years, and they are not kidding when they say they are the best. I particularly love their rava onion dosa, It is just so crispy and flavorful. If you are coming on the weekend. Good luck cause this place will be packed. Pro tip: try their filter coffee. A must have for me.

Hands down the best vegetarian Indian food I've had, no joking. No wonder there is often a queue waiting to enter the restaurant. The place is clean, servers are polite and helpful, and the turnover is fast so you don't need to queue for long. Most of the dishes are so expertly seasoned, and the tastes are balanced. Enough spices to whet the appetite but not overwhelming. Sweet, savoury, spicy and fragrant in harmony. And the presentation of the food, especially the brown and shiny dosai and vadai, makes you salivate. During my second visit, I tried the Pudi Masala Dosa. Oh my, what a surprise with the crispy base and it taste almost like a pizza although there is no cheese and toppings. It is my new favourite. My only gripe is that the drinks are relatively expensive. Teas are $3 and lassi $5.

Delicious food, never disappointing. We went on a Saturday afternoon around 1 pm so had to wait in queue for 10 - 15 minutes, and in the end, the food was worth all the wait. I recommend trying their masala dosa and neer dosa, the sambar is especially tasty. In terms of beverages, the masala tea is very frothy and no added sugar, you can add as much as you need. If you are up for trying some different food item, do try the Mangalore buns, they are not too sweet and perfectly fluffy. The service is also good and the staff is polite and helpful.

Having visited their original location in Bangalore almost four decades ago couldn’t wait to visit as soon as we found there was in Singapore. One has to order, pay and sit on a table of your choice and they bring the food to you. Medu (aka Uddina) Vada - you get one piece served with Sambhar and coconut chutney. The Medu Vada is the best one can find - crunchy outside and so airy and soft inside. Oh words don’t do justice. Poori Saagu - the poori almost football size and full of air. Fried bread-what more do I say. The two curries, the mixed vegetable curry (Saagu), good veggies and a bit of coconut paste and perfectly balanced Rava Masala Dosa - The richer cousin of Masala Dosa and our favourite. Nice crunch, and perfectly done without being overly greasy. The masala filling very good and Sambhar and Chutneys oooh…. I could have those in gallons. Bisibele Bhath - Similar texture to a congee and full of spices and some veggies. Traditionally made with leftover rice, this was also the best we have ever had. The coffee black I had was good and the one with milk, Mrs enjoyed it. The best breakfast we have ever had - period.

Had attempted before but always turned away due to huge queue. Finally had a chance to go morning to have breakfast at MTR. Serves authentic south indian food. Reasonable pricing. Portions are large. Well managed service. Did not want to miss all the nice dishes. We orderd Podi dosa, rava idli, vada and Poori. Overall very satisfied. Will definitely return for more.

Worst South Indian Food I have ever had along with the poor services. Also, the people are so rude and money minded only as the pricing is also higher . They don’t believe in providing authenticated and tasty food, they just want to make money. We strongly suggest not to go to this restaurant. We have ordered following: 1. Masala Dosa- No coconut chutney and sambar is worst 2. Pudi Idli- Full of chilli, no sambar is provided with it 3. Curd Rice- Seems like Poridge 4. Filter Coffee- Seems Kadwa karela

Wow! Everything is worth 5 stars! Bright and clean environment, and I trustttttt that little sign that said “all food freshly prepared”, seriously the best masala thosai I had so far!! Crispy till the end! I wonder if they added parmesan cheese to the dough. It’s nice on its own! Curry not enough can ask waiter to bring you more! Masala tea is so frothy!!! And you add in your own sugar! I’m so happy to know this! Cos I don’t like sugary drink! The tea is very fragrant n smooth. Customers don’t stop flowing in from 6pm. Before 7pm, there’s already a queue outside. Definitely coming back to try other dish!

I visited around 1 PM on Saturday and had a short 10-minute wait. I ordered the ragi dosa and kashaya, and both were very satisfying. The dosa paired perfectly with their flavorful gravy. While the wait was a bit longer, the food made up for it. There’s no service charge, just a 9% GST added to the bill.
