Our Philosophy: Purity, Simplicity, and Tradition
At Udupi Restaurant, we believe that food is not just nourishment—it is a celebration of culture and purity. All our dishes are prepared with the highest quality ingredients, using time-tested recipes that honor Ayurvedic principles and the sattvic diet. Our chefs focus on maintaining the sanctity and essence of South Indian flavors by avoiding artificial additives, MSG, or heavy oils. Instead, we rely on fresh herbs, coconut, lentils, rice, and traditional spice blends to craft meals that are wholesome, balanced, and soulful.
Our Signature Services

It typically includes rice, sambar, rasam, poriyal (vegetable stir-fry), kootu (lentil stew), curd, pickle, papad, and a sweet dish. Each thali is served on a banana leaf or steel plate, preserving the traditional dining ethos and encouraging mindful eating.

Specialties That Define Us
Dosa Varieties
From the classic Masala Dosa to inventive options like Rava Dosa, Set Dosa, Cheese Dosa, and Paper Roast, our dosa station is always buzzing. Served with sambar and a variety of chutneys—coconut, mint, tomato, and onion—they’re crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and always satisfying.

Soft, fluffy idlis and crunchy medu vadas are our pride. Steamed to perfection, idlis are served hot with sambar and chutney. Our vadas are made from urad dal and fried golden, creating the perfect snack or breakfast item.
Filter Coffee & Beverages
No South Indian meal is complete without a cup of authentic filter coffee, served in a traditional tumbler and davara. We also serve refreshing beverages like buttermilk, fresh coconut water, and traditional panakam (a sweet-spiced jaggery drink).
