What people say, in short
Commenters recommend MTR on Serangoon Road for South Indian vegetarian food. Thosai and masala dosa recur in the recommendations, with individual suggestions for rawa thosai and idli as well. One diner describes it as affordable with plenty of choice. The caveats are distinct personal experiences: one commenter says quality has dropped, while another still prefers the dosas but finds the service and prices less appealing than before.
