" I was super excited to check out Udipi Cafe after hearing how authentic their South Indian cuisine is. The atmosphere is very casual and laid-back, perfect for a quick meal. I ordered the Mysore Masala Dosa and it was excellent—the flavors were spot on and very reminiscent of home. The only drawback was the slow service due to high foot traffic. Nevertheless, I’ll definitely come back because the food is worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Udipi Cafe is my go-to place for South Indian food! I absolutely fell in love with their rava dosa and filter coffee. It's a simple spot, definitely not fancy, but the food more than makes up for it. I appreciate that they maintain a vegetarian menu, as it makes it easy for me to find something to enjoy with friends. The staff is welcoming and always ready with a smile. If you haven't tried their uthappam, you are missing out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I brought my family to Udipi Cafe for a nice lunch after visiting the temple. We enjoyed a variety of items from the menu, including dosa, vada, and their special thali. While the food was generally good, a couple of the curries were a bit bland. The portion sizes were generous, which we appreciated. Service was friendly, but we did have to wait a while for our orders, which was a slight drawback. Overall, it was a good experience, but there is room for improvement in food consistency. " (*Curated Review*)

" For anyone visiting Pittsburgh, Udipi Cafe is a must-stop for delicious South Indian vegetarian food. The food is authentic and there’s a great variety on the menu. I particularly enjoyed the dosa, which came out hot and crispy, and the coconut chutney paired perfectly well. While the café might not have the fanciest setting, the welcoming atmosphere compensates. I also found the staff polite and helpful. I would definitely return to explore more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a find! I'm always on the lookout for good vegetarian South Indian cuisine, and Udipi Cafe did not disappoint. The food was rich in flavor, especially their ghee-laden dosas! However, I found that the service could use some improvement as we waited longer than expected for our bill. The cafe itself has a nice informal vibe that makes it feel welcoming. Portions were ample, so definitely a good value for the money. I would recommend trying the thali as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Udipi Cafe after hearing great things from friends. I’m glad I did! The food was truly delicious, especially the masala dosa, which was packed with flavor. I also loved that they serve authentic filter coffee, which is hard to find elsewhere. The atmosphere was casual and laid-back, making it easy to enjoy the meal. My only complaint would be about the service; it was a little slow despite the kind staff. Overall, I’m eager to return and explore more of their offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Udipi Cafe has decent vegetarian food, especially if you love South Indian options. I enjoyed the rava dosa, but I didn't find all the dishes equally exciting. The ambience is charming with a simple décor that feels cozy. Service was okay, not too slow but not super quick either. Overall, a pretty good place for a casual meal with friends.
