Udipi Cafe - Monroeville

Awesome service! Chana Masala with medium spice is amazing! Try the Samosas.... worth the drive from Irwin.

Amazing options, very vegan friendly. Been going here for years with my family. There are some dairy items on the menu, but just make it clear that you are vegan and it’ll be fine. Highly recommend the gobi manchurian dry, the chana palak and the masala dosa!

I went with some friends and figured that since it was a vegetarian restaurant, they would be used to modifying things or at least know which dishes are vegan-friendly. I ordered one of the thali plates and asked whether it could be made without milk, raita, ghee, or any other dairy, and our waiter said it could. We also ordered an appetizer sampler plate to share. That was the last I saw of that waiter. Our servers for the rest of the evening were totally unhelpful, and didn 't seem to speak much English. They seemed uncertain about dairy in the samplers. My dish came out with a rice pudding that looked like it contained milk. One of the servers confirmed, and when I complained that I asked for no dairy, he told me to just try a little bit. The quality at All India in Oakland is worse, but at least I know what I can eat there.

Friendly, Big portions, good prices, lots of options, delicious, worth the travel

Just had another delicious Spring Dosa at Udipi. That is my favorite. Son likes the masala dosa. Never had a bad dosa here.
