• My favorite Veg Indian Joint!

This is my updated review. After my initial unpleasant experience roughly six months ago with a breakfast buffet, I decided to give this place another chance. Am I ever glad I did! Last month, I had dinner at Udupi. It was amazingly good. I tried a very spicy south Indian crepe and a curried eggplant dish which is made from scratch on order. I was so impressed with dinner, that I decided to try their lunch buffet a few days later. This too, was a vast improvement. They have a balanced selection of both vegetarian and vegan dishes. I've tried all the vegan items and found most to be delicious and well seasoned. Fast forward to present day. I eat at this place so much I'm on a first name basis with most of the staff. They are all very nice people, attentive and happily accept special requests. The pricing is very reasonable and a great value for the quality of food that is served. They are open till 1am for the Friday and Saturday night munchies crowd. The sole criticism I have for Udupi, is there are no vegan dessert options. They all have dairy in them. If you are vegan with a sweet tooth, you won't have it satisfied here. Then again, if you are being mindful of your figure by avoiding sweets of any kind, then you'll likely appreciate there is nothing sweet for you here. I'm really happy I decided to come back as they are now my all time favorite lunch and dinner restaurant in on the eastside. Updated from previous review on Wednesday October 10, 2012
