 Central Tiffin Room Bangalore

• Central Tiffin Room (CTR) or Sri Sagar Hotel is a heritage restaurant in

northwest Bangalore established in the 1920s by Y.V. Subramanyam. It is
notable for its Masala dosa that come in butter and non butter variants.
• CTR is the first, and the dosas are heavenly. It is a nondescript looking place
that, surprisingly, has a board that reads Sukh Sagar in Kannada.
• As for the dosas, they are a lovely golden brown. The texture is crisp on the
outside, soft on the inside. The flavour is yummy, all dosa and butter. The
potato palia is wonderful -- well cooked, with the right mixture of spice and
flavour. The chutney is obviously the fruit of years of experience.
• Follow it up with coffee and you are down by less than Rs 20. Go away smiling at
having experienced a piece of history. This really is the stuff of legend.
BENNE MASALA DOSA

This is a landmark ‘thindi’ joint — landmark to those looking for a delicious

snack, and also to those looking for directions in Malleswaram, who are
generally guided with CTR as the central reference point. Sanjeeva S Pujari,
proprietor of CTR says: “This has been called Central Tiffin Room or CTR
since 1992. It was established as Shree Sagar in 1950 by Raghavendra and
the management was passed on to Ramakrishna Holla in 1952. From 1992
onwards, I have been in charge. It is referred to by both names.” But what’s
in a name? It’s the taste that people come looking for, he says.

“All the ingredients we use are pure. The rice, dal and vegetables —
everything is always of number one quality,” Pujari says, raising his index
finger. The butter, especially, he says is acquired directly from the homes of
farmers in Nagamangala town and Mandya district. “Nothing is adulterated.
That’s why people come here from across the city — from as far as
Devanahalli and Yelahanka,” Pujari adds.
