About

MTR brings traditional South Indian vegetarian cuisine to Singapore with a focus on classics like dosa, idli, and vada. The setting is casual and no-frills, often crowded due to its popularity, but the food remains authentic and highly praised for its quality and flavor. Service is efficient though sometimes rushed, and the restaurant uses a pay-first, seat-yourself system that works best for those prepared to decide quickly.
