Udupi

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!

What happened????This place used to be so good. They closed for a little while and we were bummed cause we thought they went out of business. So when we saw they were open we jumped on it. Ordered the usual samosas, gobi Manchurian and aloo gobi. The samosas were greasy, like dripping down my arm greasy. Portions are waaaaayyyy smaller now, and the aloo gobi was nasty.New management or something? What happened? That was a complete waste of $50. Won't go back now.

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.

The place reopened and was expecting it to be clean. The restaurant opened at 11 and it took them almost 30 mins for them to fill out half the trays. "Naan" which was part of the buffet wasn't available till noon (one hour after the start time). Got zero apology from the staff and one of the worst experience I ever had. Food is average and experienced little stomach bug later that day. Don't recommend this to anyone and not going backThe owner apparently doesn't like negative reviews and been removing me out of a few WhatsApp groups lol. Hopefully he learns to take in negative reviews and improve rather than bossing around bad feedback

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.

The Udupi Weeknd lunch buffet is a vegan Indian food dream come true. They have a wonderful spread of about 20ish items and all but three or four of them are vegan. Chickpea, lentil soup, breads, rice, Gobi Manchurian (spicy fried cauliflower), baby corn, breads and sweets. I have been in there or four times for the weekend buffet in the past year and I will certainly will be back again!

Decent dosa & South Indian fix - there are very few places in the valley that can satisfy that. Buffet is pretty solid, some dishes are better than others. They do a few things well: Rasam, sambar, Manchurian, tomato chutney, dosa. But generally, it's a lot like your typical too greasy, too creamy Indian restaurants that you find.

I really wanted to like this place. Certainly, the service was wonderful. But how can a dosa be served soggy, with a bland filling? This is the most popular item in South Indian cuisine, so it's the most important dish for them to get right.3-stars is generous.

Food was off the chain ! Got the aloo ghobi and the chana masala and Not gonna lie the aloo ghobi is the best ive had in many different cities , los angeles , oakland , new york , Many places , very authentic ..homeade and you can tell whoever cooked this had a real Gift i dont usually even write yelp reviews but felt inclined too because the food was that good

Absolutely amazing. Highly recommend the gobi Manchurian, vegetable pakora, and honestly pretty much everything. My friends from southern India have all approved too. Amazing food.
