" Heard a lot of great things about Udupi Palace and gave it a try with my partner. Both of us were eager for authentic South Indian fare. We ordered the thali combo and were initially disappointed as the rice portion was quite small. However, the flavors were vibrant, which redeemed the experience. It’s a cozy local spot, perfect for a casual meal; just be prepared to navigate the crowd! " (*Curated Review*)

" Enjoyed a hearty meal here the other day. The menu offers a good variety of classic South Indian dishes. I ordered the idli and vada, and while the vada was excellent, the idlis were a bit disappointing and not as fluffy as I had hoped. The staff was friendly but seemed to be a bit overwhelmed due to the busyness of the place. Still, I can see why this place gets rave reviews and I plan to come back to try more of their offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my meal here, but there were definitely some hiccups. The food was tasty and had authentic flavors, especially the chutneys. However, the service was erratic and we had to wait a long time for billing. The busy atmosphere had a positive vibe, but it felt a little chaotic inside. Overall, I would say it's still worth trying despite a few bumps. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to my first visit to Udupi Palace after hearing so much about it. Unfortunately, I left feeling underwhelmed. While the atmosphere was cozy, my dish felt lackluster and not as vibrant as expected. I ordered the idli and vada combo, but the idlis were too dense. I might give it another chance, but I was hoping for a better first impression. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with my lunch here. The food felt very average compared to other Indian restaurants I've been to. The dosa tasted a bit bland and the sambhar lacked the punch I was expecting. I was hoping for a more authentic experience given the rave reviews, but it wasn’t the case for me. Service was on the slower side, probably because they were busy. Not sure if I’d return. " (*Curated Review*)

" A genuine experience for lovers of South Indian vegetarian food! I tried their Paper Dosa, which was fantastic! It was crispy and well-seasoned. However, I felt the seating was a bit cramped and could use some improvement in layout. The service was quite friendly and attentive. Overall, a great spot to break the monotony of regular dining options in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Udupi Palace was a great find! The ambiance is vibrant, and the service was friendly and attentive. I loved the uthappam and the variety of chutneys that came with it. The only critique would be that it felt a bit tight during peak hours. Overall, a fantastic place to enjoy some authentic South Indian grub! " (*Curated Review*)
