Authentic and delicious. started with the donut appetizer (there is a picture of it). The dipping sauces were fantastic but the donuts themselves were a bit too dry. I ordered the chickpea curry with poori bread. It was $6.99 which was a bit on the pricey side since it was a bowl of chick peas and a bowl of rice. Price aside, it was pretty tasty and I had a great time slopping up the chick peas and rice with the puffy bread. The last time i went i ordered the lunch special which came with 8 small cups filled with a variety of sauces and other items like chick peas and lentils. This is a nice way to sample different ingredients on one plate. Not only does Udipi provide excellent food but the unique experience makes it a special destination. As a side note, the service isn't going to win any awards but really do we ever ask "where can we go to get great service?"
