This restaurant is close to SV temple. Thier menu is extensive. The food was amazing and the service was very quick.

Paneer tikka masala
Krissy G.

Right-sized delicious portions of food. My partner and I each ordered a meal, and the server quickly sensed we were going to share and brought over additional spoons for each of us. The raita was a nice and cooling accompaniment, and the pickle was a bit spicy, but paired well with our orders. The garlic naan was warm and soft

Appetizer Sampler
Julie Anna E.

Worth all the hype! This little hole in the wall mom and pop shop may not appear to be much on the outside...but the food is incredible. As soon as I stepped out of my car I was hit with a wonderful smell of curry, seasonings, and bread. I was soo excited!! I got the appetizer sampler to try a little of everything and it was amazing!! I also got garlic nan which was incredible, and the Mysore Masala Dosa which I haven't tried yet because I got wayy too stuffed - looks fantastic. Overall, I can't wait to be back! Love authentic restaurants

Mysore masala dosa
Erin B.

I've been meaning to try Udipi for a while and I am glad I finally did! They were very helpful and accommodating for our large group, filling our waters frequently and ensuring we had what we needed. I enjoyed the appetizer platter and the Mysore masala dosa was delicious. I'd love to try some other items as well.

Dhosas
Richard G.

Food- 5/5. The dhosa with potato's and curries are amazing. I think about them often, and enjoyed their crunchy crepe texture. Great value and taste. Get The DHOSA. Ambiance 3/5. Fine, nothing special. Service 5/5. The servers were great, and the food came out very quickly. 5 - I will seek this restaurant out and convince skeptical friends to eat here. 4 - I often eat here or would be happy eating here. 3 - if someone in my group wants to go here, why not? 2 - I will take some convincing to go back. 1 - You cannot convince me to go back.

Spicy Andhra Sada Dosa
Xin F.

Finally found one of the best vegetarian Indian spot in town. This hits the spot for me and brings me back home. Everything was cooked to perfection! Staff are super friendly and good are served quickly. This would a typical mom and pop restaurant decor. No frills and people usually go there for its food. Super convenient for temple goers nearby. The food we ordered was based off our friend's recommendation. I would totally go back there for it all again.

This place is the best south Indian food I have had in the US! Having gone to Pittsburgh for grad school, this was a go to spot for me whenever I missed home, so it was on the top of my list when I got back here with my wife for a trip. The ambience of the place is of a very typical south Indian restaurant. Nothing showy or flashy, just what is necessary for a nice clean meal. We went here right after it opened so it was fairly empty (it gets super duper busy for lunch), to our luck! We ordered the mango lassi, the tomato onion and chilli uthappam and the andhra masala dosa. As always and as expected the food was perfectly on point! The uthappam was soft and fluffy while the dosa was nice crispy and spicy. The sambhar had the perfect tangy to spicy ratio and everything came together with the coconut chutney. As with any south indian meal we washed all down with a filter coffee in the end and jad an amazing time.

Mango lassi
Falguni T.

We went his for our breakfast, and what a filling meal it was! The place is a small looking restaurant just off the road, and can be missed easily. But on the inside, the place has ample seating and a wide menu to choose from. After much deliberation and consultation with our server, we decided to start our meal with Mango Lassi, Spicy Andhra Masala Dosa, and a tomato, chilli, and onion uttapam. The portion size of each dish is pretty good. I was hardly able to finish my uttapam in one go, and had to pack some for later. The mango lassi was thick and creamy, while the main dishes were spicy as promised and full of flavour. At the end we ordered a filter coffee to nicely wrap our breakfast with a pretty bow. All in all, the meal was very yummy and reminded me of food back in India. I would definitely recommend!

Baigan ka bharta (mashed eggplant cooked with tomatoes) with rice
Michael B.

A great South Indian pure vegetarian spot in Monroeville (way out in the sticks, so it's a bit of a drive). The eggplant dish I got from the photo doesn't look like much, but the spice and flavor were incredible (and it will fill you up too; I'm glad I didn't order bread because there would not have been room!) The saffron vermicelli dessert was warm and comforting too. The restaurant was clean and service was pretty decent too so no complaints there. It's a bit far from where I live but next time I happen to be back in Monroeville, I'll pay a visit to try some other dishes. Great place!

See all

So they take more credit cards? What about Apple Pay?

Are there large spices in the food?

I'm not sure what you mean by large spices but I am happy to share my experiences with Udipi. One of the curries I get often has at least one whole anise seed somewhere in the sauce --it's usually easy to spot and remove so you don't crack a tooth.… Read more

Are they cash only? BYOB?

They accept debit/cards. And no liquor served nor allowed.

For my fellow desis- Lemme just say how amazing this restaurant is! Been 4yrs coming here. You can…read morechoose your spice level. Andhra ownede.. Our 4 go tos are- Butter chicken-- great dish only thing is I'm assuming they use food color as there's always a red stain on my fingers after eating & washing-- this part is a bit aggravating. But You know we use our fingers to eat. Def recommended tho.... Andhra chicken Dry- we order spicy 6-7 excellentttttt!!!!!! Very spicy at it is back home in south India for us. A true testament of Andhra/tamizh cuisine. Mostly dry with a lot of cooked onions on top ((yum))for homemade chapatis, parothas etc. Def recommended.. Malai Kofta-- thick creamy w a hint of sweetness, only 3 koftas tho sadly bcz it's soooo good. Something once in a while. Def recommended. Saag/palak paneer-- soooo good! Creamy so ofc it's a fatty treat but it's really good- def recommended. Overall we love this restaurant. It's our go to. Will try more !

The food was great, but, a warning to any nut allergy folks! We asked if they used any nuts in the…read morechicken curry and explained my daughter's allergy, and they said "no". Well, either something else in the food acts like a "nut" or they just don't actually know what's in their ingredients. Good thing UPMC East is just up the road, as I had to rush my daughter to the ER. I can't blame the restaurant fully, as I should have done a little more in-depth research on Indian cuisine, and there was definitely a communication problem! I'm not a negative person, so now that I've said the above warning, I will say the food was delicious. I asked for a spicier version of chicken curry, you know, where your lips burn, but in a good way, and you just cant wait for the next bite! Definitely quality ingredients (and I'm betting they use cashew flour as a thickening agent)! The restaraunt is very clean. I would give the food a 4 out of 5. My daughter liked her rice, and honestly, had it not been for the required Emergency Room visit, she would have gave the place a 3!

The space is primarily bench like seating so keep that in mind. Service was a tad slow as we waited a bit to place our order and for the food to come out. The menu was varied, which I appreciated. I had granny's chicken, which had good flavor. The spicy naan was mild in my opinion, though others in my party thought it was too much to pair with a 7 spice level. Parking out front is easy. Okay option.

Eh- not impressed at all with our pick up order. This was our first time ordering and we were…read moreexcited because we've heard great things. I ordered a combo with tikka chicken and butter chicken which was okay but not great. The sauce on the butter chicken was not very rich like butter chicken usually is. My partner ordered Dum Sub biryani which was very not right- she ended up throwing most of it away. It was supposed to have paneer but only had like one piece and definitely had what seemed to be a bag of microwave veggies in it (including corn) and was not spiced correctly - very plain. It felt like it was made in a microwave from leftovers. Her order came with Raita and it smelled very off and funky. The samosas and soup that we ordered were both okay. Overall very weird, we won't be back. Back to Peoples for our Indian take out!

Yum! This place came up in my suggestions on Yelp and I am so glad that it did!…read more This is a "build your own" style restaurant like Chipotle or Moe's but with delicious Indian food. There was an appetizer that I had never heard of or tried before, so I wanted to try it (similar to a pani puri). I was ordering for takeout, but they said if I wanted this I really should eat it in house immediately because the shell would get soggy and not be as good. I appreciate the tip because I would not have otherwise known that. And I am so glad I ordered it because it was delicious! The combination of the sauces with the shell and contents was a flavor blast. Definitely something I will order again. For the bowl, I did a build your own. They also have pre-designed bowls that might help if you are feeling overwhelmed with the choices. I made mine with white rice, paneer tikka, tiki masala sauce and several of the toppings. The portions were generous and they answered my questions about ingredients and let me sample sauces while I was making my decisions. When I thought about adding something that sounded good, they advised me against it saying it wouldn't work together with what I had already put in (but weren't pushy about it). I appreciated the feedback. The bowl was delicious and filling. I enjoyed every single bite and it was the kind of meal where I was actually sad when it was gone because I enjoyed it that much. I'm not in the Robinson area that often, but I would definitely come back any time I'm around.
