What People Are Saying About Udupi Cafe Indian Vegetarian
Featured Review
Contributor
Contributor
In Short – Unlike typical Indian restaurants that adorn their walls with lavish portraits of rajahs and statues of Ganesh, Udupi is contemporary with modern track lighting, abstract art and waiters in white shirts and ties. Wrap-around seating helps cater to small and large groups, with individual tables beyond elbow reach of your neighbor. The appetizers are purely vegetarian, flaky samosa are stuffed with potatoes and peas, entrees include crepes (dosai) and pancakes (uthappam) with fillings.
Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- Udupi is close to the Madstone Theatre, which features Bollywood films (Indian Hollywood).

Poor treatment of customers!! I wouldn't go back there!
by IrateCustomer911
Very poor treatment of customers. Firstly the food took a really long time to arrive and to top that they forced us to leave the restaurant in a hurry cause it was nearing their closing time. Extremely disrespectful! They forced us pay the checks while we were eating so they could drive us out immediately after.

Horrible food
by Paschim
I went to this restaurant after reading the reviews on citysearch. I found following issues,
1. It was 90+ outside and the place was extremely hot. Not sure if they were running AC at all. There were only 2 or 3 fans running covering the whole area
2. Food was horrible. The coconut chutney smelled bad. Parathas were stale. I didn't find sounth Indian things like Dosas any better. Overall disappointing food taste.
Not sure if the positive reviews here are old reviews or I went on a bad day today (Wed buffet)
- Pros: None
- Cons: Too hot place, bad food

Always good
by Ken Penquin
We've been eating at Udupi since 2002 and always enjoy it. Just ate there 2 nights ago; two of us dined lavishly for only $38 pre-tip. Service is usually excellent, though when they are crowded, service can lag. And some of the tables are a bit close together if the restaurant is really packed. Those are the only downsides; the food is always wonderful and I'm delighted that the owners have kept the quality up over the years. We've never once had a bad meal there.
- Pros: Wonderful food
- Cons: few

A nice change
by MrsBee
As someone who used to be vegan and vegetarian at various points it was refreshing to be able to pick anything off the buffet without having to worry (especially if you're new to Indian food). When they are busy sometimes you don't get your glass refilled as much and sometimes when you ask questions there is some language barrier. I enjoy eating here and have mentioned it to vegetarians I know who live farther away than I (its a bit of a drive) that it is worth the trip if you like mildly spicy Indian food. My husband does not have a hard time finding things to eat either (he's always been a meat eater).
- Pros: All vegetarian, buffet usually has a lot of choices
- Cons: Sometimes language barrier and sometimes service
