Idli is a soft, fluffy steamed cake made out of fermented rice batter, paired with green chutney and lentil sambar. Masala dosa, or crispy crepe with potato curry, packs a real kick. Uddin vada, or black lentil fritter, is also a good choice. Check out the daily specials and mini meals for combos.

Review summary

MTR 1924 is a century-old South Indian vegetarian restaurant originating from Bangalore, popular in Kuala Lumpur. Most reviews praise the fresh ingredients, authentic spices, and dishes like dosas, curries, and buttermilk, set in a historic ambiance. However, some customers criticize the value for money, citing high prices for light meals, and report slow service with poor pacing. Specific items like Bisi Bele Bhath were described as bland or lukewarm, and some dosas lacked expected crispness. While the food quality and authenticity receive high marks, service efficiency and cost-effectiveness are contentious. This restaurant suits travelers seeking genuine South Indian vegetarian cuisine, but those prioritizing quick service or budget-friendly options may find it less ideal.
