Maha Lakshmi Tiffin Room - South Indian restaurant in Bengaluru - Bengaluru Urban, India

MLTR - Review One of the very old restaurants situated in Gandhi Bazaar. Absolute nostalgia, giving the old Bangalore vibe with the wooden furniture. Service is a bit slow, as they do not serve in a rush. Visited this place for Breakfast, following are the items ordered and my take on the same. Idli - Super soft goes will with Sambar Vada Sambar - Excellent, highlight is the taste of Sambar Khara Bath - Good, but nothing great, strangely peanuts were found Kesari Bath - I did not like it, the texture & taste was ok Carrot Halwa - Not good, repented for taking this Masala Dosa - Great served with Coconut chutney Sagu Masala Dosa - Excellent, served with Butter on the top & Coconut chutney So, the highlight for me was the Sagu Dosa, Vada Sambar and of course the Chutney.

The ambience and environment feels like we are in 80's or 90's.. seating and service is available. Food is as good as it can be. But the timings need to be extended as it shuts down too early in night.

I wanted to try this place for a long long time and finally ate here. Kali dose was very nice and usually it comes with sambar. However, we took the dose with sagu which is extra and we wanted to try the dose. I enjoyed it completely and it was at the same level as Sanman Kali dose. Idli vade sambar was mind-blowing as well as reve vade which was on the same level as Vidyarthi Bhavan. Paulo and raitha tasted like home made which was mouth watering. The kesari bath was ok ok and the tea was decent. The place is also meant for coffee. Overall a wonderful experience and enjoyed the food. They have kept the retro ambiance which is very much appreciated. Thank you.

Being born and bought up in Bangalore and eaten in most of the older eateries I am not sure how I missed this place. One must try their Benne Masala dosa - nice and crisp with the right blend of the aloo masala, The poori was also a good bet with the sagoo made the traditional way. I did try their idli vada and upma which tasted slightly in the average side.. the coffee had a perfect froth and looked strong when I poured in the small tumbler but the taste was just apt - one of the best coffee I have had I Bangalore. Ambience was traditional and definitely reminds you of old Bangalore days. It is light on the pocket and a must visit. KB

It's a small vintage tiffin place at the corner of the road in Gandhi Baazar. They have coffees, rava wada, bondas, carrot halwa, jamun etc. All are moderately priced & descent portion size. Tastes awesome too!! Tried the coffee, rava wada, idli sambar, carrot halwa and jamoon,they were really yummy! The sambar is really yummy. Nice place for a quick catch up to the old vintage vibes.Also their portion sizes are for 1 person each plate. Ambience -4.5/5 Service-5/5 Value for money-5/5 Food-4.5/5 Taste-5/5

If you ever want to have homely food in bengaluru , this is the place . I have accidentaly discovered this place as the other famous food joint which is nearby is crowdy The vibe and people of this place will make your wait time worth and sambar is one of the best ones you ever had. Coffee here is cherry on top and this is one of the afforable and best places for authentic south Indian Breakfast

One of the old school eatery in the city. Not much of ambience and no self-service is available. Popular menu items: Idli-Vada, Masala dose, Khali dose, coffee.

Legendary place in the area. Initial plan was to head to Vidyarthi Bhavan but looking at the crowd and seat queuing, we went in to this equally nice eatery. Old world charm is clearly reflected here with the tables, set up and ambience. Humble staff. Tried the idly Vada, sagu dosa and poori. Poori was non oily and nice, sagu was perfect, crispy Vada and carrot halwa was the icing in the cake washing it all down with coffee ! Gandhi bazaar road is closed for repairs and upgrade and parking is a mess especially for 4 wheelers.
