Udipi Cafe Restaurant

We love the samosa chat, malai kofta and tamarind rice.  At least I used to love the rice.  Recently it's been hit or miss and doesn't aways taste the same.  The decor is nothing to look at, but it's really a basic restaurant for a casual weekday dinner or weekend lunch.  That said, it is very good vegetarian Indian food that is inexpensive and I rated it for what kind of establishment it is.  The owner is very nice and the first time we came gave us free mango lassis to welcome us.  For dinner they usually give a free spicy tomato soup cup.   And the food must be authentic because there always seem to be so many local Indian families coming there for dinner!

Udipi cafe is pretty great.  The food is inexpensive and tasty.  Pretty authentic South Indian cuisine.  It is kind of cafeteria style - nothing fancy.  Also cash only unless you go over $25.  But tasty, definitely!
