A place I have been meaning to visit; MTR’s famed Masala Dosa ($7) is at the top of my to-eat list after hearing many good things about it. Stuffed with spiced potatoes and laced with ghee, the freshly prepared dosa was yummy. Crisp, fragrant and decently thin, the golden-brown crepe was moreish, not greasy at all and remained crisp throughout the meal. Surprisingly light, the fluffy potato filling held a mild heat (tolerable for me) but was savoury overall and not cloying. The complementary dipping sauces were also refreshing and tied everything together.

I then proceed to embarrass myself with the Masala Tea ($3). As the (pipping hot) herb-infused cup came unsweetened, unbeknownst to me, I had made a face on the first few sips thinking “was it supposed to taste like that???” which prompted the server who was standing a few tables away to signal to me to add the sugar that was available at the table - wonderful.

The hard kind of crispy, not very crispy though. The potatoes inside were mildly flavoured, just like the almost tasteless green sauce. The other gravy was as good as ever

Overall it's good not great

Is really like a uttapam, with holes and somewhat dense, except this has a strong crisp below that slowly disappears as you eat, better to share.

The powder was alright, so was the lentil dhal, but the white sauce wasn't very impressive.

Overall here it's more like a restaurant, the space is very clean, the menus are huge with big pictures, and there is English. Most surprising, service was incredibly proficient and attentive. A great place for people who love Indian food but not so familiar with this area yet

Absolutely love this dish, rice flour ‘rotis’ delicately flavored with green chilies, jeera, onion and curry leaves served with coconut peanut chutney. Only available Tuesdays and Fridays dinner and often sold out if you get there late. This dish usually takes more time to be served an indication that’s it being prepared authentically. Other honorable mentions - boonda soup, rava dosa and the ragi onion uttappam

My favourite dosa here so far on my second visit to MTR has got to be the Pudi Masala Dosa - a delightly crispy and fluffy pancake schmeared with lipsmacking ghee and dusted with chutney powder. The spiced potato dollop on top was so flavour-packed, I wish there were more.

Taste: 5/5

No two sides to this, MTR’s famed Masala Dosa rightly deserves its reputation and is probably the best version I’ve had to date. The outside remained crisp throughout the meal, and has an almost umami-like, brown butter taste(which I suspect comes from ghee), and the fluffy potatoes inside are subtly spiced and light on the stomach. Beautiful.

Taste: 4/5
