| - This was my second time dining at Udipi Cafe. We had friends visiting from NJ and my husband was really excited to take them here, as Udipi Cafe served authentic Indian food, and since 2 of my friends are Indian, would appreciate it and also help recommend what foods to order.
When one of my friends heard the name Udipi Cafe, he immediately told us it was a chain restaurant and that UC's food was not very good, mediocre to say the least.
We still went, and 3 of us ordered the Chana Bhatura, which was a large puffy bread served with chick peas curry garnished with onions. I thought the whole thing was very tasty and filling, the puffy bread is brought out as a fried pastry with air filled in it, like a soccer ball, and deflates within a couple of minutes. I also recommended my husband to try the paper masala dosa, since I had it the week before in NJ and it was delicious. The dosa was not as huge as the 3 ft long one I had in NJ, but my husband enjoyed very much as well. I thought the sambhar that was served with the dosa was a little too sweet though. The mango lassi was also very good, though I did not have it this time, my friend finished the whole drink within minutes, because it was so good, she couldn't stop drinking it.
Service was great, and our waiter was very nice. Will definitely be coming back to try their other stuff.
