After trudging along the back roads of Monroeville, not knowing if we were going the right direction, we arrived at what is Udipi Cafe, perched on a slight hill, and were greeted by a stunning man with a crop of thick hair in a long mushroom haircut and thick mustache. This was off to a great start.
We sat down at a basic brown table and with Udipi's sparse decorations and dim decor we felt like we were in a cafeteria. But nonetheless the place was hopping. As we had no clue what to order, I had look to Serena R for recommendations and we ordered everything she suggested, not knowing what we had gotten ourselves into:
Mango Lassi Milkshakes
Medhu Vada
Masala Dosai
Chana Batura
Everything was tasty and man a bit more spicy then I expected but delicious. The Medhu Vada (donut) was deceivingly very filling given its size. I do like the soup that accompanied though not sure how I feel about the coconut pudding. I think since there were two of us we could have just ordered the Masala Dosai or Chana Batura but I'm glad we ordered both for this tasting. We kept seeing orders of these two items coming out of the kitchen frequently. Thanks to Serena R I will be back to Udipi for some Southern Indian food again.
