this was my first visit to CTRs with family. Going by the reviews, I had very high expectations, and man, I was not disappointed at all. we ordered Benne Masale Dose, puri sagu, kesari bath and filter coffee. Benne Masale Dose stands out for being extra crispy, with generous dollap of butter. Puri Sagu was equally amazing and so was kesari bath. Service was tad slow, and the place is crowded on weekends, so be prepared to wait a while. Testimony to the good being so tasty was the fact, that I could not wait to take any pics😅. Very eager to visit them again very soon

Absolutely legendary stuff. The Dosa and the Bonda Soup absolutely smashed it. Perfect Crispy dosa on outside with loads of butter and soft aaloo masala inside. I like CTR better than the one I had in afternoon. The Bonda Soup is so comforting. I had a good dine in , maybe cause I went on a weekday. The server helped me with what I should eat🤝. Highly recommended for sure ✔️

Highly recommend Dose and kesari bath. You may have to stand in a line for 20 mins and convince anyone and everyone with you that it is worth the wait but it will be worthwhile. Do not order - idli and plain dose. They are but average joe.

Have been a CTR lover since I was a kid.. I would have given them 5 star but they aren’t as consistent anymore. Quality of dosa isn’t always as good as it used to be. But this place still has my heart.

Visited CTR for the first time.Had the butter masala dosa and coffee. The dosa was undercooked on the inside and the masala taste wasn't good. Coffee was ok.

Food is not good, service is horrible, staff is in a hurry so that you very quickly eat and leave the table so that people waiting can quickly occupy the table
