Udipi Cafe

I asked for pani puri and that’s what they gave me. I asked for masala dosa and this is what their dosa looks like. I asked for pav bhaji and they gave me this bhaji with whole allo 🤦‍♂️ Terrible service, took them an hour to give me my food and not tasty and worthy at all. Please DO NOT order food here. Ridiculous.I threw away the whole order is the trash. Wasn’t even worth putting in my mouth.

Yesterday was craving for Udipi’s Spring dhosa and we used to love Udipi sambhar, Spring dhosa and idli hence we went there. Didn’t know the ownership has changed. When we arrived we saw lot of people so were impressed. When we were seated….no one arrived to serve us water and to take the order. 1 lady was running around trying to do everything so seems like they are understaffed. When I called the lady to place the order, she said they didn’t have idli or vada even though it’s Friday night and we reached there around 8. Food arrived after a long time and it didn’t taste like it did before change of management. We ordered spring dhosa and rasam. The quantity was good for both Spring dhosa and rasam and chutney was good as well. But Spring dosa was very soft, half of sambhar was filled with tomatoes that too big size and rasam had lot of oil in it. We were disappointed because of the long wait time…had to wait 30 minutes and then when the food came, we didn’t feel like eating because it didn’t taste like before but we ate because we were hungry. Glad we ordered 1 spring dhosa and not 2. Udipi should improve Spring dhosa recipe ie go back to the recipe they had before. For rasam, the taste was good but they should put less oil. Giving them 2 stars for quantity.

Well, we only came here because gokul had no dine in. I unfortunately had the worst experience. I have been here before and it was definitely not this bad. The food was mediocre. That is not even the issue. We came in and we ordered food. No one even gave us glasses for water until we asked. We ordered a thali and soup and they were out of them. Then, we had to eat two of our orders with out the plates because, well they never gave it to us. Then we ordered biryani. They forgot about it and then we reminded them only to be served with something that looked like the below pic. My husband told them to change their name of biryani because it tasted that bad. Never coming back here again after this experience.

Here is what the website says ‘ We strive to enrich your five senses with the delights of our Eclectic Indian Vegetarian Cuisine. Visit us today and enjoy our sumptuous culinary flavors!"’ And the experience is just the opp, not so hygienic, food had no taste and the worst experience ever, avoid this place.

SCAM!! This place, which I visited after 3 yrs with my family is the worst place you can be for a dine in restaurant. The management changed, which we realized only after getting in and the whole vibe is horrible. There is one lady running everything and she is horrible at guest services. The menu says pure vegetarian. The name says vegetarian and the banner has Krishna on it. Nothing is changed but they offer only half the menu and also ask if you want non-vegetarian food. Wow! Horrible. Anyways, we got only 2 items of the 4 we wanted and it was basic / masala dosa and idli. Both were the worst and believe me, I am very patient generally with food and hospitality specially because of the pandemic. But, the person tells me maybe you don’t like the taste. There was no salt in the Sambhar and the whole food tasted stale. It was cold and stale. On providing this feedback, the lady said maybe you didn’t like it and this is how we do things. Wow! Then, instead of providing me with an invoice, she asked me to come to the counter and pay. We were in and out in 25 mins and that includes the time to sit down, order and get out. I would give this a zero star if that was possible and I would be surprised it they remain in business more than 6 months if this continues. We had the worst experience I have had at any restaurant (any style/cuisine) in Georgia. Forgot to mention- the menu prices and actual bill is totally off. It was 40% higher than the menu prices when we got the bill. Thank you.
