Our Guestbook
“ I ordered from Uber eats and had an incredible experience. The food came fast and hot. Packaged well. Everything had a good spice to it but not too spicy. I am visiting Phoenix and we were just tired and didn't want to leave the house. With so many poor experiences with food delivery I was hesitant. Udupi surpassed any expectations I could have had for delivery. ”
“ We were in the mood for some Indian Food and this place didn't disappoint. I ordered the Kurma and a garlic naan. The main dish was spiced to perfection, nice kick, mature flavor, good consistency. The garlic naan was phenomenal, ended up ordering another batch because I could not put it down. We did dine-in and the service was good. There were a number of very hostile delivery app drivers during our visit which was not cool, I don't blame the restaurant at all! This isn't fast food, quality takes time. Very much a hole in the wall and that's the vibe. We will be back! ”
“ This place has been on my list of restaurants to try for several years. I love dosas and there aren't many places around to find them. Udupi has plenty of dosa options on its menu. We came on a night that was not busy at all. In fact, we were the only people in the restaurant! We ordered several dishes to try (including 3 dosas): samosa chaat, chana masala, and palak paneer. The dosas were the mysore masala dosa, the onion rava masala dosa, and the special cauliflower dosa. The dosa menu is extensive and there is no description about the contents, so our waitress walked us through and gave recommendations. All of the food was good, though it was the dosas that stood out as our favorite. In particular, I ended up liking the rava masala dosa the best, I think because it had fennel seeds in the dosa, which gave it an interesting flavor and texture. To drink, we ordered a mango lassi and a masala chai tea. The lassi was great, but the chai was disappointing. It tasted like black tea with milk and I couldn't taste any spices in it. The ambiance is pretty Spartan. There isn't a lot of decoration. But that's okay, I didn't mind that part. ”
“ Sublime. Don't be put off by the photo copy paper menu and bare bones dining room, the food is exquisite. I dined here twice since they reopened and enjoyed both their buffet and a dosa dinner date. Our dosas were perfectly made, the sauces full of flavor and not over salted. We used to love the Gobi Manchurian at the old Udupi, so when we saw it on the menu, we couldn't order it fast enough. Guess what, it's even BETTER than it used to be. The food has the appropriate amount of heat and flavors are well balanced and dazzling. Servers and kitchen staff are extremely warm and friendly. You can tell they have a passion for cooking. Can't wait to go back! ”
“ Came here on a hot summer evening for dinner. My sister had never tried Indian cuisine before. I ordered my usual- samosas for appetizer, served with yummy tamarind sauce and mint chutney. For my entree, I had paneer tikka masala. Wow, the texture of that paneer was incredible compared to the chicken I would normally spring for- but this place is vegan/ vegetarian. I loved the sauce on the curry- just absolutely delicious and exactly how tikka masala should taste! We shared garlic naan, and of course had to dip in our curries. The naan was soft and perfectly garlicky. The rice served along with the tikka masala was exactly what I expected- yummy! The mango lassi was perfect to drink with the meal because it neutralizes the spicy palette- I am a bit of a baby when it comes to spicy. Definitely enjoyed it though! Overall a delicious dinner and would come again. My only critique would be the ambiance of the restaurant- the table was a bit wobbly and the menu was printed on a piece of paper. Not super important but just something to consider. ”
