A surprising find…MTR 1924, JP Nagar Mini Forest

 

Waiting in line on a Sunday morning at MTR has been a tradition for hundreds of thousands of Bangaloreans for the past 85 odd years. The smell of the ghee on the Masala Dosa, the tomato on top of the kharabath on those cracked and stained white plates are not images that can easily be erased. The taste stayed more or less constant, as did the waiters over the years. I’m totally convinced that the guy who, when I was a kid scolded me for standing on the seat is the head waiter who still yells at kids standing on the seats. But this post is not about the old MTR, but its about the re-branded, trying to be 2.0 entity, adding fancy lettering and a number (1924) next to the name.

We have to start somewhere now, don't we?

Once upon a time, it was discovered that there really are too many carnivores who review restaurants and which leaves ghaas-phoos eaters wondering if there was indeed life beyond that thick juicy steak or pandi-curry that took up so much space on the internet.

And then came along a few souls who decided that enough is enough and people would need to know the latest, greatest as well as the #EpicFail vegetarian restaurant and eating experiences out there.

To paraphrase Albus Dumbledore... "Dig in!"
