Reviews for Udipi Cafe in Houston, TX
First time I got to taste their dishes was when I was with my mom. She and I were visiting a friend in the area. We were told to... try this place since it's already lunch time and we were craving something delicious. The inside was neat and simple yet verynice and easy to the eyes with a nice ambiance. Our orders came quickly and we enjoyed our foods still warm. They were alldelicious and fulfilling. We love every bit of them. Read more

Good place to have Udupi style food. We just had the Thali here, so not sure about the other food. They try to come close to the... authentic Udupi taste and it?s good. My first, tasting Udupi food outside in the US, so it was nice, even though some of it wasreally off (like the cabbage fry also known as cabbage palya which tasted like Chinese food) and rice needed to be cooked alittle more. Quantity of rice given for the amount of all the other dishes was less. The interior is good but small. Nice tosee all the photos framed and put up all over which gives a glimpse of the Founder?s past. Service was good when we visited andwe were even later checked upon to make sure all was good with us, which was also nice. The restroom needs an uplift as well asmaintenance. There is good parking around as it is within the complex sharing space with other outlets. Read more
Absolutely delicious food! I don't have a great deal of knowledge when it comes to the authenticity of region-specific Indian... cuisine, but everything I got was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend if you're looking to sample lots of things all at once!Very friendly service and great prices. Will definitely be back! Read more
First of all - don?t judge based on what it looks like on the outside! The inside is bright and airy with comfortable, clean... seating. We had the manglorean bhajje as starters, and a masala dosa as well as an Express Thali - which came with a dosa, meduwada, Idli, Upma and sheera. Large portion sizes (not complaining about it ????) meant we packed up most of the Upma and Sheerato go. The Medu Wada was crisp on the outside and soft within, idli was well steamed, and the accompanying chutneys were OK -the best one was the tomato chutney, while the coconut one was runny and not as flavorful. The sambar was fine too but the starwas the rasam they served prior to the meal! The filling within the masala dosa was not sufficient and not very flavorful - arather plain potato bhaji. If you want a taste of Udipi cuisine, go here for sure. Read more
Simple and tasty South Indian vegetarian dinner with family. Was worth the drive out to Hillcroft. The services was prompt and... the food was flavorful and not very spicy. Highly recommend this restaurant. Read more
Good chances of getting fresh idli, when visited for breakfast on weekends. I got idlis for pickup multiple times here, of all... they were good only when had at the restaurant at the time mentioned. Idlis here are similar to those of andhra idlis. Sambarwas usual, i mean not sweet. The chutneys too were decent. Not a fan of Dosa though, felt a little like instant mix one. Andfinally the Mangalore bajji, they are the ones made with maida( these ones called mysore bajji in andhra). Read more
Interesting atmosphere. The restaurant had pictures of the owner with a lot of Indian celebrities. The food was okay, but I felt... it was a bit overpriced. The idli wasn't upto my expectation as compared to the restaurant in India. Read more
