Latest update: whatever tip you add to the bill and pay by card goes to the owner and not to the servers. So if you like to tip the server in case service was good, pay cash. May be this is the reason I always see different staff most of the time I go there.
Went there for dinner. Latest video will show that the quality of the food has degraded drastically. Sambhar is now just spicy liquid with just garam masala in it with one carrot piece. They only have one person making tea so wait time for tea is almost 20-30 minutes. I waited almost 30 minutes for the food and 15 minutes for them to get the order despite place being empty.
Past: Food is good but facility is understaffed. This impacts their service level. Manager at this location needs to get the staffing on point. I really like the food here. Staff is super friendly and attentive. I understand the staffs trouble in attending to all the table at once with short numbers in servers. Reduction of 2 start for the management not the staff, to be clear.

Best Indian buffet! As a vegetarian this is the only Indian place I really enjoy! Everything is vegetarian or vegan and full of flavor. I’ve been here several times over the last few years and I’ve never been disappointed.

An Indian friend of mine recommended this place to me and it lived up to the billing. The mysore masala dosai was awesome. The spice level was perfect, just enough to give good flavor but didn't make me sweat or anything. Will definitely be back.

I got take out for lunch from Udupi. I did have a difficult time putting an order through over the phone so I decided to just drive in. The smells when I entered were amazing. The place is decorated simply and is u assuming but had a quiet and cozy feel to it. I was welcomed by a friendly staff member shortly after arriving and was able to ask a couple questions and place my order. While waiting for my food to be cooked, it was done fresh, I checked out the buffet. It looked and smelled delicious and was well stocked. I'll be back to try this another time and I'd like to dine in. The food was delicious and had loads of flavor.

Oh man, I miss living in this area. Whenever I am around, I try to get to the restaurants that I liked, and have been craving Udipi for what feels like years. In particular, the Dhal Curry and the Dosas were spectacular!

Cute place. Great service. Be aware if the menu says spicy, it's spicy. Very good food, though I'm going to have to try some less spicy options in the future.

Very tasty dosas freshly prepared and delivered with two types of Chutneys ( Coconut and Tomato spice) and sambhar! Regular Rava Dosa was crispy and the special rava masala was spicy! Ghee Masala Dosa was really awesome and we loved it so much. Will go back soon to dine in and taste other South Indian dishes. Wish they add a lighted name board at the front. We had difficulty locating the restaurant and hope they fix it soon. Ambience in side the restaurant was really good and seating arrangements were clean and tidy. Loved the decorations inside. Customer service was good!

I was visiting Scottsdale for a week from Denver, CO. I went to Udupi restaurant twice, once for dinner and once for lunch. I got Poori, paneer butter masala and rice-sambar. All of them were very tasty.
For lunch I tried their buffet. It was one of the best Indian buffets I have had in US.
Even the Uber driver who drove me to the restaurant gave me good reviews, he said “ you’re in a for treat here for sure” 😀 which turned it to be true.
The staff was very friendly and courteous.
