Udipi Cafe

"One of the most authentic tasting South Indian fare in an ordinary restaurant setting. Don’t judge the place by the looks, the food and service is awesome! And they are open on Christmas Day!"

"Vada sambhar is great in taste. Do not miss the mouth freshener at the exit of the restaurant, it is too good to miss the refreshment at the end. I love dining at all vegetarian places and this is surely a must try while visiting Sri Venkateshwara Temple in Pittsburgh."

"Awesome food. They use high quality ingredients and the cooking style is authentic to southern India. We loved all the dishes that we ordered. The idlis and the dosas were very nicely made. The chutney and the sambar were great accompaniments. The filter coffee was yummy. A great after temple food destination. Highly recommend !"

"I had an absolutely delightful dining experience at this South Indian vegetarian restaurant! The menu was a treasure trove of authentic flavors, offering a wide variety of dosas, idlis, vadas, and curries that catered to every palate. The food was not just delicious but also beautifully presented, showcasing the chef's dedication to both taste and aesthetics. I started with their signature masala dosa, which was impeccably crispy on the outside and filled with a flavorful potato masala. The coconut chutney and sambar served alongside were the perfect accompaniments, adding a burst of flavors to every bite. For the main course, I couldn't resist trying their aromatic biryani. It was a fragrant symphony of spices, perfectly cooked rice, and a medley of fresh vegetables. Each spoonful was a journey of taste that left me craving for more. The attentive and courteous staff added to the overall charm of the place. They were happy to explain the dishes and offer recommendations, making the dining experience all the more enjoyable. To round off the meal, I indulged in their rich and creamy kulfi, a sweet treat that provided the perfect ending to this culinary adventure. In summary, this South Indian vegetarian restaurant is a hidden gem that deserves all the praise it can get. The combination of authentic flavors, welcoming ambiance, and top-notch service make it a must-visit for anyone who appreciates the diversity and richness of South Indian cuisine. I can't wait to return and explore more of their delectable offerings!"

"This is a busy restaurant on weekends. Highly recommend this place. Because there is no Indian option near this place. We visited on a weekend and it was pretty busy. Orders were delivered very quick. Few items are really delicious… SouthIndian thali, mysore masala dosas, mirchi bajji, Chole Bathura are really good Some of our orders were not up-to the mark or too oil.. we let the restaurant staff and they fixed them all… immediately Coffee was too light… not strong. We were running out of time so didn’t ask for a fix. Pesarattu upma, Ravva dosa were not really good. Restrooms were not at all usable."
