Vegetable biryani
Bip P.

Food was excellent. Quick service Ordered the tomato omelet. Per menu, batter is made of chick pea flour. Tasted pretty good. Also, the vegetarian biryani was perfect

Udupi Special Spring Dosa
Zinia G.

We really love this place, but it's been a while. Today, we picked up three different dosas that we ordered over the phone. The woman on the phone was so kind and accommodating as we asked a number of questions. We ordered the Mysore Masala Dosa ($12.50), the Udupi Special Spring Dosa (requested no potatoes- $12.95), and the Spinach Paneer Dosa ($13.95). All of the dosas come with the coconut chutney, sambar, and spicy sauce. I always order the masala dosa, and as usual, it was perfect! Classic choice. The spring dosa was probably my least favorite of the three (and it was still good, to be clear). This may have been because we asked for the potatoes to be nixed. The vegetables could've been sautéed for a bit longer. The spinach paneer dosa was a surprise favorite. Whoa! The seasoning and textures were unexpected and worked perfectly. I forgot how good this place was (it's very no-frills in terms of decor) and my mom, sister, and I all agreed we'd be back very soon!

My friend and I came by for some South Indian food to celebrate Diwali. We dropped by Sunday around 6 pm and only a couple tables were occupied, though it got busier as we were eating. The menu is fully vegetarian and focuses on South Indian dishes like vada, dosa, and uthappam, though they have offer some curries as well. My friend and I shared the thali ($15.95) and the Udupi combo ($14.95), which comes with either dosa/uthappam and idli + medhu vada. We got the masala dosa for the combo. The combo was good. There was a generous amount of potato filling inside the dosa, and we enjoyed both the vada and idli with the sambar. The curries in the thali were a bit hit and miss, as they usually are. My favorites were the green bean curry and the potato curry. I find the portions here a bit smaller than other South Indian places. My friend was full after the meal, but I wasn't fully satisfied and ended up snacking afterwards to get full.

Samosa Chat

I have driven past this place for years. I wish I had stopped sooner. Parking is street, so can be hit or miss. Service was friendly and helpful. Restaurant is vegetarian and most items can be made vegan. I ordered entirely way too much and it was all delicious. I really enjoyed the amount of small plates and street food options. Many items that you don't normally see I highly recommend ordering the samosa chaat. The Thali was very reasonable in price. I can't wait to return.

Spinach paneer dosa
Grayson E.

What a wonderful staple of Berkeley! We have been going here for years, and Udupi Palace is a favorite eatery of ours. Service is quick, and food is delicious. We try to come here when it's not too crowded with a lunch or dinner rush, and for those quick meals after running errands. Dosas are very tasty, as are the curries. The chutneys are good but not overwhelming, and they are a nice complement to the meal - some might even say bland, but I prefer the subdued chutneys. This is a great place to pick up food, or stop in for a quick bite to eat. It's also right by Trader Joe's, so eat here then get ready to shop at TJ's afterwards.

My first intro to dosas! A visiting friend was craving Indian food so we did a quick scan on Yelp-- the first thing that jumped out was their massive paper dosas :O Apparently not too many spots make these. I haven't explored much of the Indian restaurants in Berkeley so was excited to try something new. Located on University, further out from downtown. Udupi Palace is modestly-decorated, largely quiet other than some muted clanging in the kitchen. Staff are very sweet and accommodating-- our group of 3 was immediately seated after walking in. SPINACH PANEER DOSA: Crispy, light dosa with a hearty, spinach-heavy filling. Comes with three dipping sauces whose names escape me now-- all equally delicious and rounded out the savory dosa in different ways. The portions are generous, especially with the prices. They definitely found a new fan in me~

Solid spot next to Trader Joe's for some Indian food. I ordered a vegetable dosa, and this was actually my first time trying a dosa! It comes wrapped in something similar to a crepe, but more crispy, with curried vegetables inside. The vegetables were flavorful and not too heavy. There are four different dips for the dosa, each offering unique flavors and textures. Definitely enjoyed my food here.

It has an open window next to the bar area, low lights for an intimate atmosphere, and lots of cozy tables. We ordered the Ginger Spice and Royal Charter for drinks, the former a smoky ginger drink with lots of ice and the latter a tasteful chai/citrus-y old fashioned that wasn't too strong (pro for me). I liked both, but the royal charter especially! We also ordered the paneer tandoori tacos, which were top notch - a good amount of paneer that was well seasoned, and surprisingly light (loved all the crunch from the veggies). The service was really warm, with bartenders introducing themselves and being really enthusiastic about the menu. My only gripe is the menu saying dhokla is South Indian love dhokla, let's get an actual South Indian dish out on there!!

The ambiance includes the bar, different tables, and upstairs. It's really cute, good service, we came in last minute before they closed and they still took our last call orders. They close at 12am every day.
