  • Udupi Palace happened more as an afterthought. It was chosen after someone in our group asked "... How about this place?" and I went in with little expectations. If anything, I was a little disappointed to realize that dinner was going to be Vegetarian, because, I don't know, I guess I felt sad knowing a delicious animal had temporarily escaped me... Oh right, let me do that thing where I list my credentials so that my review will carry some extra... "heft" to it. 1. I'm Indian. Take that white people reviewers! 2. I'm South Indian. Take that North Indian reviewers! 3. I'm Keralite. Take that... whomever that excludes... Who am I kidding? Those credentials mean squat in Toronto... The food was pretty good. The poori masala, and channa batura were both enjoyable, albeit super greasy (I'm well aware I'm talking about deep fried deliciousness so I should expect greasy, but there was an extra level of greasiness, even to the masala). There was also a dosa special on the day we visited Udupi, but when requested, the server said that it wasn't available. My mother and mother-in-law were with me, and they both weren't havin' none of that. They both communicated their feelings of disappointment in something being advertised all over the place, but not being made available when requested. The staff kind of shrugged their shoulders, but then what appears to be the manager showed up with a plate of the special dosas specifically for the two ladies in our group. The cheese dosa was whatevs, but a number of people at our table(s) enjoyed that. The chai was really weak and pretty disappointing. The coffee was good, but tasted like Bru. It probably was Bru... Overall the experience was enjoyable. Are there better places in town? I'm sure there are, but Udupi Palace does reasonably well. Customer service was lacking initially; we were ignored for a good while by all servers after being seated, but after we managed to get someone's attention (as well as getting an earful from two Indian mothers about a dosa special), things turned around pretty quickly. If nothing else, I've learned that if I'm told I can't have something, I need to sic my mother or mother-in-law on the person who said no to me.
