Central Tiffin Room

CTR, short for Central Tiffin Room, is a Malleswaram institution known across Bengaluru for its benne masala dosa. The dosa is thin, crisp, and generously layered with butter, giving it a distinct richness that sets it apart from regular versions. Long queues form outside on weekend mornings as regulars wait for a table inside the modest, no frills dining hall. Alongside the dosa, the menu includes idli, vada, and filter coffee. Despite its fame, CTR has kept its prices affordable and its old world character intact.
