CTR (Central Tiffin Room)
ಶ್ರೀ ಸಾಗರ್ (ಸಿಟಿಆರ್)
A century-old vegetarian tiffin room in Malleshwaram whose butter masala dosa has repeatedly been voted the city's best.
CTR (also known as Shri Sagar) dates back to the 1920s and sits at the corner of 7th Cross and Margosa Road in Malleshwaram, facing Malleshwaram Square. It has only about 52 seats and keeps its old wall clock, rosewood furniture and marble tabletops. It is almost always packed, but turnover is quick. Its signature butter masala dosa was once named Bengaluru's best by the Times of India food guide, and there is also a version without butter. Pure vegetarian, about 150–300 rupees per person. In 2024 it opened a branch at Terminal 2 of Kempegowda International Airport.
