Udupi Palace

Standard food that never disappoints. Udupi might not be the latest craze in Little India for South Indian fare but it is one where we atleast have never been unhappy. The service is always spot on, food comes out quick and hot. We visited after a couple of years to introduce some friends to Dosas. Win an effort to have our friends try the maximum we ordered a variety of things-mango lassi, filter coffee, idli, vada, uthapam, paper masala dosa, rava masala dosa and Mysore masala dosa. All dosas were good and chutney and sambar flavorful. Special thanks to our server Santosh who patiently delt with our orders and brought them out as asked. We are glad we came back and even more glad that their food and service is still the same. One small suggestion would be to serve the coffee in traditional cups...the coffee was great but the melamine cup took away from the whole ah ha moment of a good cup of filter coffee.

Worst experience ever in an Indian restaurant in US. Would like to give zero stars if possible! Watery sambar and sour tasting batter in both Vada and dosa ! And this is what I got in the name of Special Onion Rava Dosa. Hardly any onion and the dosa was fried to a crisp like a papad!!! Please avoid this restaurant at all costs !!!!!!

We ordered a masala Dosa, a veggie uthapam and a falooda. I thought the uthapam was good (though maybe a little more soggy than it should have been). My partner thought the masala was average. The falooda was more of a float, with vermicelli that wasn't soft yet. It should have been served in a bowl...as it's hard to eat ice cream out of a tall glass. Service was also quite slow - though like many places, they looked to be short staffed. There's lots of other restaurants in the area so this one is not worth a revisit.

Udupi is a good place, food is good but not necessarily the best. South Indian fare isn’t really South Indian, the chutney isn’t always fresh based on our own experience in dining over 100 fine indian restaurants across the country. Sambar is ok, more like a daal which usually happens when the chef isn’t a southern indian. I don’t know who the chef is but certainly felt that way when we visited on a week day around 3 pm for a late lunch. Good ambience, friendly service, and overall a good place but not the tastiest food.
