  • Got to buck the trend here. If I had to pick a favorite ethnic food Indian would be it. When I lived I Los Angeles we tried over 50 different restaurants and even went to India on a professional two week culinary tour of the country. So with this background and the glowing reviews that fellow yelpers and other culinary site's have given to Udipi we set off on with grand expectations for the food. When we first entered the restaurant it was 80% full - all with Indian's and not a single Caucasian in the place - that's a very good sign in my book. During our whole meal only 3 other non-Indian people came in and they were all brought in by Indians. What can to go wrong we thought? We ordered the assorted Appetizer plate, the idli was authentic and good and I like the sambar that was served it. The medhu vada was very plain and rather uninspiring it lacked any ginger, pepper, etc and was not good. We had Onion pakora and green bean pakora, their pakora batter was the most tasteless pakora batter I have ever had - also all of the fired items tasted like old grease that had been used to fry multiple different items so there was taste carry over. The last but not least in the vegetable samosa which had a bland but unusually tough pastry. The inside was good and this had some flavor if you ate alone, however it was very greasy. Both the meethhi and hari chutney were very good. For our entrees I had the onion masala dosai. The dosa was slightly undercooked so you could still taste the fermenting rice and urad. The potato filling was okay but needed more seasoning. We also had the aloo matar, a favorite of ours and an easy way to compare various Indian restaurants. While it was good, it again lacked the complex flavors and was generally under-spiced. To eat it alone was good, but if you pared it with rice the dish was pretty tasteless. Don't get the idea that the food was bad, or inedible, it wasn't, however it was a very average for a style of cooking that is pretty easy to make very good. I will be in Pittsburgh for several months; hopefully this is not the best of the Burgh!
