Exceptional South Indian Cuisine! The flavors at Udupi Place transport me straight to the heart of Karnataka. Every dish is a masterpiece of taste and tradition. I'm a fan of their dosas and the sambhar is simply out of this world!

I recently visited Udupi Palace in Artesia, California, The food at Udupi Palace was incredibly tasty, with a wide variety of flavorful dishes that catered to my vegetarian preferences. Moreover, the restaurant itself was spotlessly clean, creating a pleasant dining environment. If you're in the area and craving some delicious vegetarian cuisine, I highly recommend checking out Udupi Palace.

Standard food that never disappoints. Udupi might not be the latest craze in Little India for South Indian fare but it is one where we atleast have never been unhappy. The service is always spot on, food comes out quick and hot. We visited after a couple of years to introduce some friends to Dosas. Win an effort to have our friends try the maximum we ordered a variety of things-mango lassi, filter coffee, idli, vada, uthapam, paper masala dosa, rava masala dosa and Mysore masala dosa. All dosas were good and chutney and sambar flavorful. Special thanks to our server Santosh who patiently delt with our orders and brought them out as asked. We are glad we came back and even more glad that their food and service is still the same. One small suggestion would be to serve the coffee in traditional cups...the coffee was great but the melamine cup took away from the whole ah ha moment of a good cup of filter coffee.

We ordered a masala Dosa, a veggie uthapam and a falooda. I thought the uthapam was good (though maybe a little more soggy than it should have been). My partner thought the masala was average. The falooda was more of a float, with vermicelli that wasn't soft yet. It should have been served in a bowl...as it's hard to eat ice cream out of a tall glass. Service was also quite slow - though like many places, they looked to be short staffed. There's lots of other restaurants in the area so this one is not worth a revisit.

If you are South Indian wanting home food, this ain’t it. Do yourself a favor and go to Bhimas. Went here when Bhimas was closed but didn’t compare. This place maybe has a North Indian chef trying their hand at South Indian food? The pongal tasted like Sambaar rice/kitchdi served with yogurt and aplaam, so strange. The vada was dense and so was the idli.

Extremely bad customer service and the staff treats people poorly. The waiter who served us asked us to pay the bill when the food just arrived since the restaurant was closing soon which was totally fine with us ! But then he kept staring like literally staring from every corner of the room for whole time we were having food which was very uncomfortable and seriously felt horrible! At the end when we were leaving he came to the table to ask for bill receipt and rudely said that he does not see TIP on it ! Such a horrible experience and then they also want tip (which they come and ask for on table) !! Worst experience in a restaurant ever. Never going back here at all. Also sadly, i do see many people have mentioned the same treatment by waiters in the reviews and its a shame to see the management does not care at all !

Lately I've been a bit obsessed. I could eat the dosa and sambar all day everyday forever. I went with two friends and we ordered 6 dishes. I asked the waiter if that was too much and he just kept saying "you're ordering six dishes". Well spoiler alert, it was a hilariously massive amount of food and I had leftovers for a week. The chana bhatura is as large as your head and it's MANDATORY. Felt like I was eating a buttery flakey cloud. It's the only restaurant I go to in little India bc it's so good 😭

Worst experience ever in an Indian restaurant in US. Would like to give zero stars if possible! Watery sambar and sour tasting batter in both Vada and dosa ! And this is what I got in the name of Special Onion Rava Dosa. Hardly any onion and the dosa was fried to a crisp like a papad!!! Please avoid this restaurant at all costs !!!!!!

Waiter wearing the glasses was rude and not coming to take orders or bringing the full order. I could be as calm as possible since he was elderly and I was taking to him with my best behavior but the sir didn't leave a single time ignoring me or showing me his hand. Will not go to this place until they change the servers.

I recently visited Udupi restaurant in Artesia and wanted to share my experience. Overall, I would rate it 3 stars. Firstly, I must commend the restaurant for their delicious Chole bhature. The combination of spicy chickpea curry and fluffy bhature bread was simply mouth-watering. The flavors were authentic and reminded me of the street-side stalls in India. The portion size was generous, and it was definitely the highlight of my meal. On the other hand, I found the average/dry paper dosa to be disappointing. The dosa lacked the crispy texture that I expected, and it seemed like it had been sitting out for too long. The flavor was also quite bland. I believe they could significantly improve this dish by making it fresher and more flavorful. When it came to the kids dosa, it was decent but nothing extraordinary. The dosa itself was thin and crispy, appealing to children who prefer a lighter taste. However, I was expecting it to be served with some sort of accompaniment or filling to make it more exciting for the kids. It felt a bit plain and lacking in that aspect. In terms of service, the staff was friendly and attentive. They took our orders promptly and were helpful in explaining the menu. The ambiance of the restaurant was clean and comfortable, making it a pleasant place to dine. Overall, my experience at Udupi restaurant in Artesia was a mix of positives and negatives. While their Chole bhature was outstanding, the average/dry paper dosa and kids dosa did not live up to my expectations. I would recommend this place if you're specifically looking for great Chole bhature, but for other South Indian dishes, there might be better options available in the area.

Excellent food with very fast service and authentic South Indian food

The food and service were great. We ordered two South Indian thalis and two mango lassis. Very authentic food and their portion sizes are very good too. We were stuffed by end of our meals. The staff were courteous and very attentive. Visit this place again? Definitely yes!!

5 star food! If nothing else, this authentic South Indian restaurant knows their dishes. From the idli sombar to the masala dosa each bite is full of mouthwatering spice and satisfying ingredients.

The food was alright, nothing out of the ordinary. You will find usual South Indian dishes here. The restaurant was crowded but tables were being available fairly quickly. The staff was typical - cold towards Indian ethnic customers while more respectful towards white customers.

A little tight place and usually is crowded. If you are looking for quick food and walk out, this place is best. Food tastes good and fresh. Only vegetarian options and NO Non Vegetarian, so plan accordingly. Service is fast, the place is well lit. I would go again as a family.

Too many waiters just standing and looking at people's faces. The owner should do better management. Only one person was bringing the food from the kitchen with attitude. Also one of them was whistling loud and tapping on the tables. Otherwise no complaints regarding food.

Clean, good service, good prices, delicious vegetarian food! Spiciness level can be adjusted per request. Food is served fast, at good temperature, and flavorful. This was my first time eating here. I ordered lunch items from the menu, which were delicious, and I am already planning on coming back with friends to try more items from the menu.

3.5. The masala dosa was good. It was flavorful and we enjoyed the potato filling, but it only came with a sad plastic cup of coconut chutney and a bowl of sambar. I would have liked tomato chutney also. The chai was terrible. It had zero flavor. Do not order. Please add cardamom, ginger, …anything to give it some flavor!

I went to this place only half and hour of visiting another Indian restaurant where I had a ton of food. I was not looking for a big meal, only to try something that my friends wanted me to eat. The three stars are for two main reasons. The cheese used in the dish that we ordered was American. I like American cheese just as much as the next guy, but I believe that a different kind of cheese, one that melts and stretches, would have been a much, much better choice. Also, it was very pricy. I ordered three items at this particular place and it was almost as much as 7 dishes in another restaurant.

Literally my family's favorite restaurant—ever. The best South Indian food you can get outside of India, bar far. We have been loyal customers for 18 years and can't get enough of their dosas, idlis, uttapams, and filter coffee. All available at very reasonable prices for the quantity. The staff is also amazing and so attentive. Don't forget to ask for extra sambar and red chutney. The best!

I used to be a regular here and then I started a lo carb diet and stayed away for a few years. I got my weight where I wanted it and decided to return. We ordered the Idli and Vada combination appetizer, the Cheese Dosa and a mixed veggie Uttapam. I really enjoyed being able to eat these favorites of mine. Everything was perfectly prepared and I loved the Sambar and the Coconut Chutney. We ate all but the Uttapam and took that to go. It reheated perfectly. We parked right in front. It was pretty busy when we were there. Everything is made to order so you have to be a little patient.

Only place that serves delicious food the way they showed in pictures. Hell yeah !! Am adding the picture 🫶

Good and tasty vegetarian food. Jain options available.

Must visit here if you want to eat south indian food,even sambhar taste and flavour is proper Indian. Tip-Must park your car in public parking nearby,cause the street is usually busy and won’t get parking on street side

I would have give them more stars, Two stars just for good food Service not good while we haveing dinner staff came and want to pick-up dishes and in the end It is customers choice to TIP, staff not supposed ask for it.

Authentic South Indian food. If you know you know.

Okay so the dosas are the best I’ve had in a while .. so crisp and so nice . Made to perfection . Good size too ! The Sambhar and coconut chutney aren’t bad also . Didn’t care for the pakora . Too spongey and thick . Good place for dosas all in all .

An Awesome Indian restaurant in Artesia. So great and authentic taste of the dishes here was that I would easily have given it a seven star rating. Believe me as an Indian the taste here reminded me that of back home. Just awesome 👌🏼....I had a butter masala dosa and sweet Lassi after that....and my family had other dishes....all of them had superb taste. The name of the restaurant itself suggests that it's excellent in South Indian dishes particularly of Udupi area of India 🇮🇳 and such is the taste....I can certainly certify that. If you are in Southern California around Los Angeles and missing Indian food....you should visit this awesome restaurant in Artesia.....We loved it....👌🏼👍🏻🙂

Delicious food ... Friendly staff .... Accommodative of any dietary needs as well. The south indian thali is awesome (except maybe for the rotis). Rasa vadas are very tasty and spicy!!!

Food was excellent and seemed of high quality. The service was very professional and exceptional. People have been working there for so many years and it looks like they have been taken care of. Not a fan of their filter coffee or tea but that's a no big deal. Chutney , dosas and sambar are too good. Check it out

This location is one of the good South Indian veg restaurants. I liked idli and Dias here. Not big fan of thali. But this place was crowded. But they are super quick with your orders. Store is small but lot of crowd of mixed ethnicity. Waiters do keep a check on you. Mango lassi was good as well.

Really yummy South Indian food! Definitely recommend this place

Terrible customer service at this restaurant! Extremely rude employees work here. As several other reviews have mentioned, the staff treats people poorly and provides cold mediocre food and then when you don't tip because of the bad service and food they literally come to your table and rudely announce that you didn't tip. What a joke! TIPS ARE NOT MANDATORY- THEY ARE EARNED THROUGH GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE. I wonder why the owner allows such behavior especially after so many complaints and negative reviews. We will not be giving our business here anymore.

Udupi is a good place, food is good but not necessarily the best. South Indian fare isn’t really South Indian, the chutney isn’t always fresh based on our own experience in dining over 100 fine indian restaurants across the country. Sambar is ok, more like a daal which usually happens when the chef isn’t a southern indian. I don’t know who the chef is but certainly felt that way when we visited on a week day around 3 pm for a late lunch. Good ambience, friendly service, and overall a good place but not the tastiest food.

A very good south indian authentic test. Service is good. Food is nice. U can try uttapam , different types of dosa, idly medu wada.

Love this vegetarian South Indian restaurant. One of the best in little India. We had their special Onion Rava masala dosa, Channa batura and falooda. Loved all of them! Service is a bit slow but I would go back again because the food is delicious.
