In the south Indian city of Bangalore, Mavalli Tiffin Room (MTR) is a culinary bastion that is deeply entrenched in the cosmopolitan city’s epicurean framework. Much of this has to do with its gilded history, which dates all the way back to 1924 when three brothers started a small restaurant. For the next three decades, one of the brothers – Yagnanarayana Maiya – managed the restaurant and in 1960, the eatery moved to its current location in Lalbagh Road and was renamed MTR.
Nearly 100 years later, MTR’s success continues unabated and the brand has spread its wings, opening eight more outlets in Bangalore, one in Mangalore, as well as outlets in Singapore, Dubai and six months ago, Malaysia.
