MTR Singapore

My wife and I, visiting from Sydney, had the pleasure of dining at MTR Singapore seven times during our 5 day trip, and each item was a delightful journey back to our Bangalore days. The authentic South Indian fare—masala dosas, rava idlis, vadas, and more—brought nostalgic flavors that we miss in Sydney. Every dish we tried was freshly prepared, bursting with traditional Karnataka-style taste, and served with perfect chutneys and sambar. Thali meal for lunch was also very delicious. The prices were very reasonable, making it a fantastic value for such high-quality food. The highlight, though, was the exceptional service led by Manager Srinivas Rao. His humility and warmth made us feel at home, and he patiently guided us through the menu, offering spot-on recommendations. We were thrilled to hear from him that MTR is planning to open in Sydney soon—exciting news for us! MTR Singapore is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic South Indian breakfast. It’s clean, affordable, and a true taste of Bangalore. We can’t wait to return and highly recommend it!!!

Service was amazing from the moment you enter the restaurant. Staffs were extremely polite and friendly. The food is made to order therefore you gotta wait for it but the waiting time is acceptable although it was a full house when I visited them. All the food was incredible and indeed affordable. The mango lassi is a must try too! Not forgetting the coffee and tea! Everyone should try this place! It’s superb!

Very very good dosa - crispy and not oily .. very fragrant and enjoyable. I am happy I got to try their dosas, my favourite would be the Masala dosa. Masala tea was good, came without sugar which you can add yourself according to your own liking. Vada was freshly fried, fluffy and pairs so well with their sambar. Service was very friendly and approachable.. environment very clean and comfortable. Would return for more. Just be aware that this is a vegetarian restaurant so you won’t find any meat options here

Food is exactly like what we get in Karnataka. Taste was amazing. Had vade, podi dose and set dose. We were seated immediately and food was served within 5 mins. Servers were kind. Place was clean as well. Recommend this place for good food.

Very disappointing. Manager & staffs were very rude. Food was very average..Developed rashes ,& intense itching. Had to take medicines. There are plenty of other good South Indian restraunts nearby. Its wastage of money. Very bad experience. They should improve their whole thing They serve left overs. They have some kind of Delusion of Grandeur... Pathetic.

Always wanted to try out this place as it has looong queues at meal times. We came at an off-peak timing and tried the masala dosai and the lemon rice. Each mouthful was an experience! I couldn’t describe each mouthful but everything was so flavourful! Only thing I wish they had was a sampler plate. For those unfamiliar with the cuisine it would be most useful. I spent a few stressed out minutes wondering what to get (since unfamiliar) and since you need to order before you sit it did get a bit stressful.

Have always heard about MTR and planned to visit it for brunch. Medu vacation was good but quite oily but taste nice 5/5. Idli was quite average 4/5. We ordered podi dosa, that was a bit disappointing..maybe too much of oil or ghee which takes away the actual taste 2.5/5.

Had a morning craving for masala dosa, so we made our way here to fix it! 🌞😋 Also ordered the poori and vada — first time for our girls, and surprisingly, they loved everything! 🫓💖 And the mango lassi? Confirm their favourite — refreshing and super shiok! 🥭🧃✨ Tasty, satisfying, and totally Jin Ho Jiak! 😋😋😋 Only one downside: the exhaust system really needs servicing or improvement — we walked out of the restaurant smelling like the kitchen. 😅👃💨
