    Udupi palace is the spot for dosa and idili in the mission! The space is decorated with beautiful Indian art, wooden table and infrastructure. I really like the vibe. The host was very welcoming and sad us immediately. I got a paper masala dosa with onions on the side, growing up when my mom made those I enjoyed having extra onions so I appreciate them for offering that. The dosa comes with aloo, chutney, and sambar. The dosa came out so big, crispy, and I was so excited to eat it! Everything was delicious, I really enjoyed the service and the food there. If you've never had a dosa, I recommend trying Udupi Palace!

    Idly and Medu Vada

    This was my first time having dosa, and I loved it! Not sure how much this is a review for Upudi Palace as much as it is for dosa... but Udupi made my first dosa, so they deserve some credit! Idly ($8): I love idly. So glad to have a place in the city serving idly. That is all. Medu Vada ($8): I think this was also my first time trying vada! It was good, but not as good as idly. It was fried but not oily, which is always a win. But it was drier and denser than I hoped for. Not overly so, but I think I just wanted it to be like fried idly but in a donut shape. In that case, I should have just ordered fried idly and let go of the shape. That's on me! Podi Masala Dosa (~$15): Super yummy. I loved the crisp and chew of the dosa. Potatoes are always amazing. And the podi added a wonderful flavor. The portion was great, and I was definitely full. Service was prompt and friendly. I would definitely come back. It's a cute spot with dosa and idly, so what's not to like?

    Lentil Dosa!
    Suzette L.

    Friday night was extra hungry Ordered Lentil D0sa & Mixed Vegetable Utthapam (pancake like). I realized I haven't had a Dosa in a decade. Definitely bring back good memories of eateries on the East Coast and even visits to India Portions are huge and reasonably priced. Very clean and minimalistic environment. Recommend for solo outting or with family.

    Udupi!!!! I absolutely love Udupi and it has a special place in my heart as a South Indian Tamilian. I grew up eating Masala dosa, puri and Chana Bhatura so Udupi had always been a staple when I was craving some good ol' South Indian food. Back when I was at UC Berkeley I used to got to their downtown location but now since moving to SF, I go to the location in the mission and the SF location is definitely tastier! My go to order is the Chana Bhatura (the big puffy thing as my bf likes to call it). It is a large wheat puffy fried bread which is light and fluffy paired with chickpea masala curry, fresh onions, tamarind sauce, mint chutney, mango pickle, and raita. Everything is so perfectly executed. The Bhatura is puffed perfectly and not too oily and the channa masala is packed with flavor and not too spicy. The accompanying chutneys also taste incredibly fresh and just how I recall growing up. Udupi is a happy place for me and definitely one I cannot recommend enough if you are in the Mission district.

    Lentil and veggie soup

    Recently a friend and I had made lunch plans for the end of the year (we work together and we don't usually see each other again for months). She recommended Udupi Palace and I'm so glad she did- I've had Indian food before when I lived in LA but not since I moved back to the Bay. I'm pescatarian so a veggie friendly menu that is also budget friendly. WIN WIN! We ended up inviting other colleagues and we were a group of 14 in total on a Monday afternoon. We called ahead of time to make sure they could accommodate us and it was no issue at all. The ambience gives very casual and cozy. The service was 10/10- Jacob was our server and although I didn't ask I almost felt like he could have been the manager or owner. He gave us full attention, made sure our water glasses were full and when I say as soon as we all ordered- the food was coming out piping hot and fresh! I was impressed. Location: It's located in the Mission off Valencia- a short 10 minute walk from the BART station (24th/Mission). Lots of culture all around. I took pics of everyone's food including mine: Some our selections were the paper dosas (which is like a thin like crepe fried up)- they were huge in size...well very long. See the pics A number of people ordered different types of dosa combos, we had veggie byrani and I had the lentil/veggie soup which was perfect on a chilly day. One of the dosas came stuffed with potatoes and another combo had some sort of salsa on top and came with a mini fried donut of sorts. Great variety of options to choose from. I would highly recommend checking this place out for great hospitality, good warm food served with care and a price menu that won't break the bank. I see they have a location in DT Berkeley as well. One other thing to mention- online it does mention if you are part of a large group (over 6 or 8)- they automatically charge gratuity. However, when our receipt came- that was not the case. We assumed it was added in and realized quickly it was not automatic so just check your receipt. ENJOY!

    Best dosas in San Francisco in my opinion. The staff is super kind and the food comes out so quick. Also love the filter coffee.

    Thali and mysore masala dosa combo
    Andrea Z.

    Visited on a Friday around 6:30pm restaurant was pretty busy most tables were taken but was greeted by a server who was able to seat us right away which was amazing. Food: Thali Platter - love getting a little taste of everything this came with a piece of crispy nutty papadam, fried bread (I think poori) which was light airy and not greasy, a yellow curry well seasoned not too spicy, green curry with a variety of veggies, red bean curry hearty beans in a lightly seasoned yellow curry base, dal pretty spicy and warming, beet chaat added a touch of sweetness, basmati rice perfectly fluffy, yellow rice, sambar, rita, and carrot halwa such a nice way to finish the meal a little sweet creamy pudding Maysore Masala Dosa combo - so good, perfectly crispy thin dosa stuffed with smashed masala potatoes served with the same dal along with coconut chutney which is cooling and creamy, red chutney a little spicy and tomato forward, green chutney providing a slight cooling herbal flavor Service was good, quick and efficient water was brought to outlet table right when we sat down, was able to place an order pretty quickly and food arrived after a 5-10minute wait. Overall Udupi Palace remains a favorite Indian spot for me. Food was so delicious, great variety all flavorful and delicious. Service was quick and efficient, definitely worth a visit if you are looking for a casual Indian spot for dinner in the Mission.

    Yum! This is a yummy spot for some authentic vegetarian Indian food. So many dosas to pick from. We got a filled one and next time I would love to try a standard one! The curry was my favorite dish - it was so flavorful. The service was great and food came out quickly. I know this is a popular spot so it can get busy!

    We stopped at Udupi Palace for a casual dinner in the Mission and ended up loving the bold flavors and yummy carbs here. My boyfriend is vegetarian so we always love all-vegetarian spots and this little hole-in-the-wall South Indian restaurant was a nice surprise. We got the Udupi combo which comes with a dosa entree, idli (a savory rice cake), and medu vada (a crispy lentil fritter) and the saag panner which was more than enough to share between 2 people. First, the dosa was delicious! We got the spiced cauliflower dosa which came with a variety of chutneys. The dosa itself had such a nice fluffy texture and the cauliflower filling was well-seasoned. Loved the spicy and coconut chutneys. The additional carb sides were fun to try and definitely makes for a filling meal. Saag curries are one of my favorite dishes to order at Indian restaurants and the saag paneer here is one of the best I've had, being filling and creamy without feeling too heavy. It comes with rice, chapati and poori to eat with the curry and the chapati in particular was super yummy - flakey and soft without being too oily. It was super nice to dip into the saag paneer. Overall a great spot to homey food and definitely worth a stop if you have vegetarian friends.

    Great price! I split a House Curry Dosa ($15.95) with my friend, and it was enough for both of us (though we are on the smaller side). I thought it was tasty, and I liked each of the chutneys it came with. We were a party of 6 and got seated immediately. It wasn't super loud when we went. Service is super friendly, and was willing to let us rearrange tables a little bit to fit our entire party.

    Hot fresh breads! A no frills neighborhood joint, Udupi Palace is my favorite place to grab an accessibly-priced and delicious thali or dosa. Attentive and responsive staff, big portions, fresh, flavorful, and offering some dishes I haven't had at other South Indian/Indian restaurants. It's one of my go-tos when I'm out and about the Valencia corridor. I'm not strictly vegetarian, but you leave feeling like you made your taste buds dance and a hearty portion in your belly. Highly recommend for a low-key, casual, and convenient spot.

    Paneer Makhani
    Tony S.

    Tried a few dishes new to me at Udapi and my new strategy as a single diner is to watch what other diners order and ask my waiter for the name of dishes that look delicious to me on the menu. It's fun to engage knowledgeable staff about great food. I've eaten Udapi's mutter paneer twice now and it is fantastic. The gravy and paneer setup is similar to paneer makhani with the addition of peas. The gravy sauce for the mutter paneer is a different set of flavors from paneer makhani, complex and aromatic unique to itself and the peas make it pop. Literally these dishes taste like they were perfected over millennia by great cooks in the richest culture, and they all literally were. Mind blown. The paper dosa is a showstopper visually: almost two feet long and shaped like a megaphone. The dosa batter is cooked on a large griddle that's very hot and the result is crispy and chewy simultaneously and the perfect vessel for dipping in the chutneys and sambar on the side. Seems like a great appetizer dish to share for a group meal. Sambar is also new to me personally and I love it, the broth is rich and layers deep and wide on the taste buds. It's like the best comfort soup ever. I really enjoy Udapi and hope others are also drawn to flavor-ville here :)

    This was a solid Indian restaurant place to visit, if ur vegetarian you will love this place as the entire menu is vegetarian! They had great dosas we ordered a ton of food and they were all really good. The only thing I'd say that didn't make this place perfect was the sambar, I felt that it was a little lacking in taste. The inside was clean and nice and there is a lot of room to sit. The servers were extremely nice and helped us with some choices too!

    If you're a matcha lover, Tadaima is worth checking out at least once. I kept hearing this was the…read morespot for all things matcha in the Bay, and it definitely lives up to the hype. We got there just before the line started, and by the time we ordered, it was wrapped around the block. It was wild! Don't sleep on the food, either. Their snack bites were delicious and made on the spot, great for the perfect fuel for a hike afterward. The matcha was smooth, not chalky, and flavorful - but personally, I don't think I'd wait in that long of a line for it. Would I go back? Probably not, but I'm still glad I got to experience it.

    Tagged along with my friend who wanted matcha. I love matcha, but I've been whisking mine at home…read morelately. When I saw the line at Tadaima I knew I had to try it too! I am rarely in SF...so naturally the fomo got to me. My friend ordered the hojicha latte and the matcha latte with strawberry cream. He also wanted a dirty matcha cream latte so I went ahead and ordered that one. Turns out I did not like the dirty matcha at all (the espresso overpowered the matcha imo) and ended up trading it for his matcha latte with strawberry cream. The latter was much better, although I have to say that the matcha here is not as strong as I personally prefer. I usually whisk my own matcha at home, and I prefer a grassy, non-nutty matcha. This drink tasted pretty good, but the matcha is too subtle, and similar to the dirty matcha, the other ingredient took over. I honestly don't know if I'd reorder this drink but if I'm in the area I may want to try a normal matcha latte to see how it compares.

We came for lunch on a Monday and ordered the Caesar salad, calamari, two pastas and the burrata salad, and every single dish was excellent. The pastas in particular were incredible, but even the appetizers and salads were thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. It was one of those meals where everything just worked, and there wasn't a single dish that I wouldn't happily order again. The restaurant itself is also really cute, with a warm and lively atmosphere and charming interior decor. They have outdoor seating as well, which is a nice option when the weather is good. Dinner can get especially busy on Friday nights and weekends, but the energy is part of what makes this place fun. They stay open until midnight, so later in the evening it really starts to feel like a bit of a scene. I would highly recommend Bottega for both lunch and dinner. Great food, great atmosphere and a menu where you can order pretty much anything with confidence. Definitely a spot I'd come back to again and again.

Overall, a nice spot for a birthday dinner in the city.
