CTR Shri Sagar

Read Time:59 Second

For most culinary enthusiasts in the Namma Bengaluru, Shri Sagar (erstwhile CTR or Central Tiffin Room ) is mecca of benne (butter) dosa and filter coffee. Located in Malleshwaram , no culinary itinerary of the city is deemed complete without visit to this place.

Now before some one asks me what is Bene dose’ (pronounced dosey) ,these are originally from Davangare. Served with potato palya and spicy coconut chutney , these dosas are usually cooked on a wood-fired stove , using with lot of butter, thus making them quite crispy and aromatic. Since baking soda is used with the rice batter , these dosas are amazingly fluffy too.

Run by second-generation owner, Sandesh Poojari , such is the lure for CTR, that many including those staying far way , it is part of their Sunday custom to dine here.

Apart from benne masala dose , their star attraction , other must haves are filter coffed along with vada, poori sagu, idli , Mangaluru bajji, maddur vada, khara bath and kesari bath. Since this place is usually crowded most of the times, with long ques outside , be ready to wait for 20-30 minutes or more.
