 HISTORY
MTR was founded as a restaurant by Parampalli
Yajnanarayana Maiya and his brothers in the year 1924. In
the mid 1970s when India was under emergency, a Food
Control Act was introduced which mandated that food was to
be sold at very low prices. This move made it difficult for MTR
to maintain high standards in its restaurant business and
forced it to diversify into the instant food business, selling
ready-to-eat snacks such as chutneys and rasams Since the
1970s, MTR has expanded and diversified, with MTR
Department Stores opened next to the restaurant, and an
outlet opened in Chennai. Currently the MTR brand
represents two separate entities; the MTR restaurant business
and MTR Foods, the pre-packaged food business
Mavalli Tiffin Rooms, the 75-year-old
restaurant that is almost as much an
icon of Bangalorean culture as the
adjacent Lalbagh park, is situated in a
small, old building bang in the middle
of Lalbagh road. It seems almost like a
reflection of the changing face of MTR RESTAURANT
Bangalore that MTR, as it is known, is
dwarfed by its newer and bigger
neighbour.
