Udipi Cafe

Food was good, ambiance was okay, service they need to improve as order took more then expected time. But overall it's a nice place and I recommend try their Mix Pakora, Dosa.

Tasty food! Dosa was nice and crispy. Nothing was too spicy. The rasam was good. My parents god the South Indian express thali and it was an ample amount and lots of variety which was nice. I really liked the medu vada.

Having enough sides is important especially when guests come home unannounced, especially a pure vegetarian restaurant at that since some of us have reservations- Udupi cafe helped us on both these counts.Not having tried before we were apprehensive, but it was on the way and time was limited so got some food for take- away. Rotis, channa masala and plain rice was already at home, to complete the feast we got bhendi masala, malai khofta and zeera rice. Soo glad to say that Udupi cafe saved our day- The bhendi masala( ladies finger curry), was rightly cooked with not too much spice or too less, the malai khofta was creamy and just melt in the mouth, and zeera rice was flavorful. The price was reasonable and service time is good too. Should come back again to dine- in. For now happy with the take away.

The taste was spectacular!The service was impeccable.I had the Royal South Indian Thali, which had a great assortment of things, half of which I had no idea what they were.

For the past four weeks, my husband, sister and I have been on the search for a five star worth Indian restaurant to try. Given the plethora of Indian restaurants in Houston, surely this wouldn't be difficult. And luckily for us, on the fourth try, we found it.Udipi Cafe is located right off of highway 6 in a large shopping center that has quite the array of food choices. From fast food, to Vietnamese to Indian food, there's plenty of options for all.We decided to try out Udipi after a failed attempt at buying dinner at the grocery store Keemat, in the same center as Udipi. We ordered a few dishes and very not disappointed with this vegetarian restaurant.Butter Paneer - like butter chicken, but with cheese instead of chicken. I was a bit hesitant hearing my husband order this, but after the first bite, I was sold. Chicken who?? The creamy texture paired with the flavor explosion in your mouth, guaranteed you'll be back for more.Chana Masala - my favorite of the 3. How can they make chickpeas taste SO good?? It's such a simple sounding dish, yet the depth of flavor amazes me. Highly highly recommend this one.Saag Paneer - I've made many attempts at making saag paneer during the past year in quarantine. Unfortunately, I have never come close so I am so glad that Udipi makes this dish so well. Not sure what they do, but it's better than your typical saag paneer, that's for sure.Masala Dosa - this dish was okay. The potatoes were good but the actual dosa itself was pretty standard. This came with two dipping sauces and sambal.Each entree was served with basmati rice and they were more generous with the rice serving than the other Indian restaurants we went to!I will undoubtedly be back to try more vegetarian dishes and recommend you do the same!

Great for catering large events! We hired Udipi to cater breakfast and lunch for 2 large events (200+ people) in Austin and the chef-owner Satish came out himself to run the catering and make food himself! The food was phenomenal, all the guests were raving about it.

Came here this past Saturday. Their water is good. The one star for the fellow that brought the food and the water. We walked in and weren't greeted to know if we seat ourselves or are seated. A couple came in after us and just seated themselves. We followed suit. Unsurprisingly the waiter with visible bad attitude served them first. He was at the front when we initially arrived, he was too busy with the woman at the front to acknowledge us. We received dal with no bowls or plates. The dal was bland and had an additive thickened consistency. Our masala dosas were a bit sweet and soggy. Sambar is from a powder mix... our chaat, pani puri and dahi papdi, came out last and had little flavor. I watched several people come in not knowing if to seat themselves. The woman at the front only does transactions otherwise not helpful. Our waiter tumbled into a toddler at the table next to us. His body language showed his annoyance. Someone at the table apologized. A few moments later the child started crying. The waiter did not console her.Definitely will not come back. Last time I visited this place was when they had the large space nearby. It was mediocre then and worse now.

Udipi is a favorite neighborhood restaurant with a host of delicious vegetarian offerings. The restaurant was busy with patrons filling the space as usual. Many were families. Tonight we had Bisibelebath, Spring Dosa, Sambar (soup) and rice cakes (Idly). We were treated to a Mango drink and a sweet dessert. The portions were plentiful, so much that we had a take home box after feeling rather full. Excellent food, moderately priced and comfortable but not-so-fancy atmosphere.

Was craving Indian food one day and I remembered wanting to check out Udipi, was not disappointed!While you may not get the Thali buffet that you can get at Maharaja Bhog, the portions at Udipi is definitely enough. Plenty of parking and the owner/waiter was friendly. Lots of South Asian families eating here, so a good sign!The girlfriend and I shared the Mysore Royal Thali and a Dosa. Personally I thought I would be able to finish the Thali like a champ, but I couldn't, I had to take some home. The Thalis come with so much and at a great price, you legit can't do this that easily at home! Everything was so flavorful, and taste great. My only regret is that they don't have a handout to describe everything that's in it, or to describe the other items on the menu.Regardless, I'm definitely coming back to try more!

I went there after a long time as I was a craving a rava Masala dosa. The order took longer than usual , but it was not long overdue. The dosa was ok, nothing spectacular. It did not melt in your mouth as it was not the ideal crispy kind. There was too much of potatoes in the dosa , without much flavor. The chutneys were good , no complaints there. What was bothersome was the communication between the serving staff among themselves. They all spoke Spanish and I do understand a bit. They (2) were either on the phone or conversing with each other and using cuss words non stop. I had half a mind to get up and confront them but decided against. This is highly offensive as the customers should not be subject to a barrage of offensive language. At some point, the owner came back and normalcy was restored. He was courteous and polite. I paid my bill and left.
