Udupi Indian Vegetarian & Vegan Cuisine

This place has been on my list of restaurants to try for several years. I love dosas and there aren't many places around to find them. Udupi has plenty of dosa options on its menu.We came on a night that was not busy at all. In fact, we were the only people in the restaurant!We ordered several dishes to try (including 3 dosas): samosa chaat, chana masala, and palak paneer. The dosas were the mysore masala dosa, the onion rava masala dosa, and the special cauliflower dosa. The dosa menu is extensive and there is no description about the contents, so our waitress walked us through and gave recommendations. All of the food was good, though it was the dosas that stood out as our favorite. In particular, I ended up liking the rava masala dosa the best, I think because it had fennel seeds in the dosa, which gave it an interesting flavor and texture.To drink, we ordered a mango lassi and a masala chai tea. The lassi was great, but the chai was disappointing. It tasted like black tea with milk and I couldn't taste any spices in it. The ambiance is pretty Spartan. There isn't a lot of decoration. But that's okay, I didn't mind that part.

The worst experience ever at a restaurant. We are out-of-state and visiting Scottsdale, AZ. We were glad to find an Indian restaurant to get some idli for our little one. A plate of Idli, which typically costs around $6-$8 even in high cost centers like San Francisco Bay Area, costed us $12 per plate and the accompanying chutneys and sambar were below mediocre.When asked about the high prices, they showed us a pricing chart which had different pricing from what we were charged, they apologized saying the cashier was new and didnot know. When checked online the price for a plate of Idli was $6.99, when we asked, they said as they are not adding taxes, the in-store prices per item is higher than what is quoted online.We felt swindled, improper business practices, and also quite unhygienic for in-store dining. I would not visit this restaurant again.

We were in the mood for some Indian Food and this place didn't disappoint. I ordered the Kurma and a garlic naan. The main dish was spiced to perfection, nice kick, mature flavor, good consistency. The garlic naan was phenomenal, ended up ordering another batch because I could not put it down. We did dine-in and the service was good. There were a number of very hostile delivery app drivers during our visit which was not cool, I don't blame the restaurant at all! This isn't fast food, quality takes time. Very much a hole in the wall and that's the vibe. We will be back!

I ordered from Uber eats and had an incredible experience. The food came fast and hot. Packaged well. Everything had a good spice to it but not too spicy. I am visiting Phoenix and we were just tired and didn't want to leave the house. With so many poor experiences with food delivery I was hesitant. Udupi surpassed any expectations I could have had for delivery.

This place is definitely a hole in the wall. You've got an extremely dirty exterior, the interior also has broken chairs, unused large appliances, and a bunch of cleaning supplies on one of the tables. Also note that that their prices on their official website are incorrect. Their actual prices are way more expensive when you actually go to the store. Note that they have a buffet but we have no idea when it happens as it's not mentioned on their website nor their in-store menu. Their menu is some hastily written basic Excel table of items that have no pictures. Most of their bigger stuff costs $15 so I got a coconut rice dish while my crony ordered some curry and a naan. Our whole order came out to $47 (includes tax and tip). The food itself is plentiful and of slightly above average quality.

Serious health concern.Their items in the buffet are spoiled. The potato was smelling bad, the chutney was bad, dosa was sour as if batter was like 2 weeks old. Look at the coffee color, 97% milk with 2 drops of coffee semi warm.This is the 3rd time I complained them about the spoiled food. This place should be banned by food regulators.(...and this would be my last visit here)P.S: "urban district" offers amazing buffet fresh made 25+ items for just 16$I did not want to , but you ll be served. Watch out .

Came here on a hot summer evening for dinner. My sister had never tried Indian cuisine before. I ordered my usual- samosas for appetizer, served with yummy tamarind sauce and mint chutney. For my entree, I had paneer tikka masala. Wow, the texture of that paneer was incredible compared to the chicken I would normally spring for- but this place is vegan/ vegetarian. I loved the sauce on the curry- just absolutely delicious and exactly how tikka masala should taste!We shared garlic naan, and of course had to dip in our curries. The naan was soft and perfectly garlicky. The rice served along with the tikka masala was exactly what I expected- yummy!The mango lassi was perfect to drink with the meal because it neutralizes the spicy palette- I am a bit of a baby when it comes to spicy. Definitely enjoyed it though!Overall a delicious dinner and would come again. My only critique would be the ambiance of the restaurant- the table was a bit wobbly and the menu was printed on a piece of paper. Not super important but just something to consider.

We came for the buffet on Saturday and the food was quite good. Some things I think could be improved: - label the food. We weren't sure what the buffet items were and I hate to waste by taking something I won't like. Four items were labeled but no others were. - food delivery - we learned that a dosa comes with the buffet but it arrived at our table after we had finished eating.- ambiance - there is none at all - it's a large room with tables.Would I come back? Probably yes because I really do enjoy this food.

Sublime. Don't be put off by the photo copy paper menu and bare bones dining room, the food is exquisite. I dined here twice since they reopened and enjoyed both their buffet and a dosa dinner date. Our dosas were perfectly made, the sauces full of flavor and not over salted. We used to love the Gobi Manchurian at the old Udupi, so when we saw it on the menu, we couldn't order it fast enough. Guess what, it's even BETTER than it used to be. The food has the appropriate amount of heat and flavors are well balanced and dazzling. Servers and kitchen staff are extremely warm and friendly. You can tell they have a passion for cooking. Can't wait to go back!

Not sure why we were served the worst Dosa ever. We've heard good reviews from friends so we decided to visit. Disappointed with the whole experience.
