Udupi Palace

Love this place. Been coming here for years. The service is always really great. My girlfriend can’t have lactose and they made sure to tell us which dishes were lactose free and took care of all our needs. Our server Samir was so helpful and it was a great time. Always come back here when I’m in town.

We introduced friends to South Indian food at Udupi Palace and it was the perfect choice. We ordered masala dosa, onion–rava dosa, mixed-vegetable uttapam, idli (with its softer, different batter), avial. Everything was fresh, fast, fully vegetarian, and a clear contrast to North Indian dishes people usually know. Don’t miss the filter coffee or the Indian tea boiled with milk. The restaurant is at 18635 Pioneer Blvd, Artesia, CA, with metered street parking and a nearby lot.

I’m really upset that I have to write this, but I feel like I need to share what happened to protect my someone else like me. I have a severe nut allergy and I called ahead before coming in to make sure it would be safe for me to eat here. I specifically asked if any of the chutneys contained peanuts or cashews, and I was told no. I also asked about dosas and whether any contained nuts or were made on shared pans. Over the phone I was told no, and said they are very allergen friendly. When I arrived, I was then told in person that the coconut chutney actually contains cashews and that I shouldn’t eat it. Also, I was informed there is a paneer dosa that contains cashews. That immediately worried me because it contradicted what I had just been told on the phone and would have had second tho

The worst Indian food experience in Artesia so far. Absolute waste of money. The pakoda: mostly batter that too thick and bland. For $10+tax, you will get 6-7 thumb size disappointments in the name of vegetable pakoda. And guess what! We didn’t order rusk or toast. The deep fried brown piece of toast in the pictures is-guess what-fried idli. Maybe just watch a YouTube video on what customers expect from fried idli? Service: Horrible, horrible, horrible. The cherry on top of bad food experience is “bad mood” “I’m doing a favour on you” staff at this establishment. Try to avoid, especially for snacks. Coffee was decent, but served from a thermos- for $4. Worst experience in Artesia so far. Absolute waste of money.

Classic!!! Probably the best south indian food in all of southern california! can’t recommend enough, it ALWAYS Hits the spot. I go out of my way, driving ~1 hr to go here! Masala dosa, idlis, sambar, rasam, vadas, chai, all fab
