Gayatri Tiffin Room(GTR) - Vegetarian Restaurant

Gayatri Tiffin Room (GTR), a vegetarian restaurant located in the heart of Mysore, is a culinary haven for those who cherish authentic South Indian cuisine. Renowned for its delectable array of dishes, GTR has earned a reputation for serving good, yummy food that appeals to both locals and tourists alike. Almost everything on the menu, from the classic masala dosa to the fragrant filter coffee, is exceptional, making every visit a delightful experience for the taste buds.

Despite its popularity, which often leads to crowded conditions, the atmosphere remains vibrant and welcoming. The best time to visit is around 8 am, when the kitchen is bustling with fresh preparations, allowing one to start the day with delicious breakfast offerings. The only drawback is the lack of adequate parking for four-wheelers, which can be a minor inconvenience. However, the quality of the food and the overall dining experience at GTR more than compensates for this. It stands out as a must-visit destination for vegetarian food lovers in Mysore.

Early in the morning we visited
So there was no rush afterwards it's full.
Good and healthy breakfast which i feed my 1 year old boy also

Old traditional restaurant.
Have been visiting from last 30 years.
Same taste.
Can improve in terms of operations.

One of the old school places. GTR has a place in my heart always. Iconic set masale dose and filter coffee is a must try here. Place get crowded easily but it gets cleared quickly. Street parking is a downside.

A great place for breakfast in Mysore. Really loved the taste. Dosa and upama is must try.

This place is an institution. However don't just go by the name and fame.

Check out their chutney. It is amazing. They go heavy on the coconut.

Sambhar is tasty too. Dosas are nice.

Must visit if you are in Mysore.

Great stop for breakfast.authentic food, Mysore local folk and only those who frequent here have been visiting this place from a long time. It's one of the best tiffin rooms in Mysore

Pathetic! Idlies are salty, Dosa is greasy, they are using sub standard ingredients.very disappointed, will never visit this place again.

The food is of good taste, but we have to go early to get all varieties, otherwise will be having less options

Strictly average hotel. Visited this hotel after food lovers tv video on YouTube, but a bit disappointed. They informed us while we entered the hotel that the sambar was over, but since we had come so long for this hotel, we had idli without sambar. Open butter masala is just okay. Pineapple Kesari bath is good

We got idly with no sambar around 10am. Not satisfied. Pineapple sheera was okay. Open butter masala dosa was ok.

Dosa is good. Evening snacks are just fine
Dosa is not as good as it used to be a decade ago.
May be popularity lead to complacency.

Nice place to have tiffin.
We had ordered benne masala dose n poori n coffee.
Dose was delicious.
Also liked the poori saagu. Saagu was different from Bangalore hotels. Liked it there.

Should have tried open dose.we saw that after ordering our food.we were so full so couldn't order it.missed it.
Will definitely try next time for sure.

Really love this place for mornin break fast.non mysorians who visit rarely should try here.being mysorian n having these restaurant with superb delicacy, the enjoyment is top level! Do try this place

The Owner who sits in cashier's place behavior is not good
He doesn't know how to behave with customers

The dosa is superb. Always a treat. Both taste and texture are just perfect. Arguably one of the top 3 dosa experiences in Mysore.

Self service. Other items like uppit and vada are decent.

They say they are cash only. Disappointed with that. The place needs to modernise a little and keep up with the times.

You get the authentic feel when you visit this hotel. Butter masale dose and kesari bath are their specials.
Butter masale dose is quite unique in its taste. Crunchier outside and softer inside.
Kesari bath just melts in your mouth with plenty of ghee in it with its amazing texture and mild sweetness.
End your breakfast with a nice and strong filter coffee.

Taste is good as always.but very arrogant behavior of the staff as if they are doing a favor to customers by running their business.no patience to any of the employees.mainly the younger person at the cash counter

Should try masala dosa, idli vada and coffee here. Didn’t liked sweets here since they have added too much of sugar

Excellent butter Masala dosa and rava kesari. Tasty and melt in the mouth!
Highly recommended. Very very economical and VFM. We took a carry out and ate in the car due to social distancing norms. In house dining was available.

Best hotel and very famous for different types of dosa & espically masala dose and plain dosa is very taste and it is also called benne masala dose.must visit for breakfast.

Had been to betta and thought we would check this place for breakfast, since I saw a review elsewhere, it's a decent place, the food is good, but if you want to eat like good good dosa, you can try other well known places, if you want just simple breakfast this place will do! And the coffee was really good.

I went here with the very much hope but nothing of that sort happened. I didn't like anything other than the cup of coffee.

Tasty food
No parking facility
Seating arrangement can be better
Covid protocol not followed by visitors and not insisted by staff.
They are also seen without masks.

This place is totally waste now.they hiked their prices and quality and taste of food is getting worse compared to the old GTR

Good food, but water is not good. Def service you have to take coupon first then you will get food easily. But better to take your own water bottle.

Good for South Indian food.but North Indian food is really not good.very worst experience with North food

Awesome place to have a breakfast in Mysore, is located from little outside of City. Open at 7 am, there u will get special open butter MASALA dose u should try it, it's definitely worth it, only self service was there, price are not high, Dishes were good, it's old shop in Mysore, parking is limited, the shop very neat and clean,

One of the best food joint in that area. Visit and have masala dosa, you will love it.
Bonda soup, semia upma during evenings with a tea will rejuvenate your taste budds.

Super fast service, excellent restaurant. Yummy food, the butter on the masses Sosa is awesome. Dose melts in your mouth. North Indian dishes for lunch and dinner was good too. Overall a must visit place for any foodie visiting Mysuru.

Doesn't stand up to the heights set by other Mysore hotels like Mahesh Prasad or Mylaris.
The food wasn't great and you wouldn't get a filter coffee.

Idli, masala dosa, uthappam and coconut chutney is to die for. But the ambience takes you back couple of decades but in look and comfort. Taste and quality of the food is slowly deteriorating and in contrast price is increasing. It's a self service restaurant, but seperated family dinning area get's service.

This place is a hidden gem and absolutely fabulous! Have the herbed open dosa shown in the picture. It has spinach, dill, and I believe mint inside. Best dish in India!

The one and only place to enjoy masala dosa, khara bath and idli wada dip in chutney. If u had not visited when you are in mysore then your visit to mysore is waste. Iam visiting since three decades.

The oldest hotel in Mysore, orginally started in small place, which is still there behind existing new building, when we are students, late in sixties, we are getting set masala dosa for 35 Paisa and 30 Paisa only, that type of taste is still lingering

Very original taste. A lot unclean though. Old taps, wash basins in the middle of the eating area. They can make our experience better, for sure

One of the best eateries at Mysore, we had our breakfast there. Great idli, vada, dosa and coffee here. Still has the old world charm.

GTR of one of the oldest hotels in Mysore that is known for its Mysore Masala dosa. It's a good place to visit for breakfast and snacks. Go early as dosas get over by 7 PM. Service is good and waiting time is around 5- 10 minutes. Ambience is OK. It's an old hotel so don't expect much.

Good food, value for money,
gets crowded, a bit challenging to find a seating arrangement / table, self service.

Very worst idly. Dosai is good. But not special. Normal one for the price 45inr. This place is not that must special.

Don't know about GTR ground floor, but the GTR delight food is bad in taste and we had a stomach upset immediately after eating lunch there today afternoon. It doesn't deserve even a single star for its yak taste.
