The MTR Story — A Labour of Love
“A chronicle of our century — an account of the men and women who built MTR, the thousand hands of its unseen workers and the loyal patrons who have kept its legacy alive.”
Written by Pratima Chabbi, this hardbound book pieces together a hundred years of stories that had never been written down — through the voices of the Maiya family, cooks who’ve stood at the griddle for decades, and loyal patrons whose families have been visiting for generations.
The book is available in both English and Kannada editions at all our restaurants and on Amazon India.
