Udupi Cafe

Visited Udupi Cafe a couple of nights ago, because my dear friend enjoys their food and recommended that we go together. She’s Indian and doesn’t like many Indian restaurants in the U.S., so when she raved about Udupi, I knew that it would be good! I love vegetarian Indian food, so I was excited about our visit! Their Gobi Manchurian was so flavorful and tasty it made me think, “cauliflower can be as FULFILLING and SATISFYING as chicken?” Because that’s what my taste buds signaled to me, which I say as a full compliment. The vegetable samosas were also tasty, and the green sauce that supplemented them was spicy, yet it complimented the samosas’ textures. For the main entrée, I ordered the Jaipur Paneer Dosa, while my friend ordered the Onion and Pea Uthappam. She enjoyed her Uthappam, an

Very delicious. We come very often and it never disappoints. Always warm and flavorful. I personally love the dosa which was warm and crispy. We got the gajar halwa, it was warm and comforting. My daughter took a bite so that’s why the picture looks like that. No wait time and the food arrived very quickly, 8-15 minutes

Placed an order of medhu vada and potato bonda from this restaurant and had the worst experience ever. The coconut chutney had lots of water and vada’s are not fresh too. Same conditon with sambar as well. Potato bonda was too oily and potatoes inside were not cooked properly. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.

I want to be completely honest in my review. For someone who hasn't been to Udupi and tried their food, this place might seem good, but I feel the quality is lacking. They could definitely improve both the quality and taste of their dishes. The Mysore dosa was decent, the puri was good, but the chole was just okay.

The Mysore Masala Dosa was nice, though not excellent. Since it’s a South Indian restaurant, I didn’t expect North Indian–style dishes to be their specialty, but we went during late lunch hours and felt like having naan and curry. Both were a bit disappointing.The naan tasted like one of those frozen packet ones, even though the staff said it was freshly made, and the curry was just okay. Also, $4.99 for two small pieces of naan felt a bit pricey. The South Indian items might be better, so I’d recommend sticking to those.
