We've been here twice, once about five years ago and again a month or so ago. I love the 'scene' here. Families eating, kids running around, plates with improbably big dosas - looking like wrapped flowers - being delivered to every table. And the dosas are great. Everything we've had here has been tasty. Try a chat. We had a samosa chat and it was a winner. I think we need to go here a couple more times to really give the menu a deeper going over. We always look longingly at patrons who have ordered the thali (in all the Southern Indian places we go) but we don't want to miss out on the dosa.
Udupi Palace also holds a soft spot for us since it was one of the first times we ever had dosa. Since then we spent some time in Jersey City where there is a huge South Indian community and some of the best dosas that can be had in the Americas. So it definitely holds it own against some heavy hitters.
