So Far I have been satisfied & happy with service & food, I live 1 mile from Udipi from last 10 yrs. I like it all time for a great vegetarian spot, never go wrong place, ONE. OF THE BEST COFFEE THEY HAVE.
Udupi Palace is Indian vegetarian restaurant, Artesia has always been home of Indian food for South California. Udupi palace is chain of restaurants know n for its great south Indian Vegetarian food. This is a restaurant specialize in Southern Indian cuisine, which is 100% vegetarian but not vegan. Unassuming with friendly waitstaff, highly recommended for South Indian food.We got there on a Saturday afternoon around 1:30pm and were seated after about five minutes are so. This place doesn't take reservations so it looks like arriving sometime, so avoid noon during weekends.We ordered South Indian Thali, It came with rice and roti, which came with lot of curries like Rasam, sambar, poriyal, daal, 2 vegetables of the day, I got beetroot and Kurma. A special rice, chapati, papad, pickle, curd and payasam. Which will be very filling.Also, we got Idili Vadai combo and Idli. We also got Mysore malasa dosa. Sada dosa spread with potato masala.Parking is tight but you can find around the streets.It could be more clean in the Restrooms and friendlier staff.
Service was fast and food was tasty at a great price value! One guest was from So India and LOVED the taste of home in the Dosa! Can't wait to return!
Extremely bad customer service and the staff treats people poorly. The waiter who served us asked us to pay the bill when the food just arrived since the restaurant was closing soon which was totally fine with us ! But then he kept staring like literally staring from every corner of the room for whole time we were having food which was very uncomfortable and seriously felt horrible! At the end when we were leaving he came to the table to ask for bill receipt and rudely said that he does not see TIP on it ! Such a horrible experience and then they also want tip (which they come and ask for on table) !! Worst experience in a restaurant ever. Never going back here at all. Also sadly, i do see many people have mentioned the same treatment by waiters in the reviews and its a shame to see the management does not care at all !
Great south Indian Vegeterian food. Friendly people and clean resturant. I love those Channa Puri as it is in the picture. gerome & Santhush are great people who take good care of the customers. Will go every week end and always take our firnds to a great meal too.
Udupi is a good place, food is good but not necessarily the best. South Indian fare isn’t really South Indian, the chutney isn’t always fresh based on our own experience in dining over 100 fine indian restaurants across the country. Sambar is ok, more like a daal which usually happens when the chef isn’t a southern indian. I don’t know who the chef is but certainly felt that way when we visited on a week day around 3 pm for a late lunch. Good ambience, friendly service, and overall a good place but not the tastiest food.
Terrible customer service at this restaurant! Extremely rude employees work here. As several other reviews have mentioned, the staff treats people poorly and provides cold mediocre food and then when you don't tip because of the bad service and food they literally come to your table and rudely announce that you didn't tip. What a joke! TIPS ARE NOT MANDATORY- THEY ARE EARNED THROUGH GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE. I wonder why the owner allows such behavior especially after so many complaints and negative reviews. We will not be giving our business here anymore.
Came here randomly after walking Pioneer Blvd. It blew me away with the food taste and quality. We had the thali and masala dosa. So good! Going again today. Hoping it’s just as fresh! Will keep you updated!
Standard food that never disappoints. Udupi might not be the latest craze in Little India for South Indian fare but it is one where we atleast have never been unhappy. The service is always spot on, food comes out quick and hot.We visited after a couple of years to introduce some friends to Dosas. Win an effort to have our friends try the maximum we ordered a variety of things-mango lassi, filter coffee, idli, vada, uthapam, paper masala dosa, rava masala dosa and Mysore masala dosa. All dosas were good and chutney and sambar flavorful.Special thanks to our server Santosh who patiently delt with our orders and brought them out as asked. We are glad we came back and even more glad that their food and service is still the same.One small suggestion would be to serve the coffee in traditional cups...the coffee was great but the melamine cup took away from the whole ah ha moment of a good cup of filter coffee.
Worst experience ever in an Indian restaurant in US. Would like to give zero stars if possible! Watery sambar and sour tasting batter in both Vada and dosa !And this is what I got in the name of Special Onion Rava Dosa. Hardly any onion and the dosa was fried to a crisp like a papad!!! Please avoid this restaurant at all costs !!!!!!
