emergency period in 1970s,Mavalli Tiffin Rooms of Bangalore suffered a setback in their business. Due to the Food Control Act passed during the emergency period, MTR had to sell food items at a low price. They shifted from selling pre-packaged food items to ready-to-eat snacks like rasam and chutneys. Presently MTR runs both the pre-packaged and the restaurant business.
MTR Today
Today MTR comprises two floors. The ground floor is a fast food outlet serving snacks and tiffin. The first floor has tables and chairs for the convenience of the customers who can sit comfortably and enjoy their lunch. The restaurant is presently headed by Hemamalini Maiya, granddaughter of Yajnanarayana Maiya. The food items of Mavalli Tiffin Rooms are also exported to countries like United Kingdom, Persian Gulf countries and the United States of America.
