BIG SAD NEWS!!! Udipi Atlanta is closed. Sign on the door said, “Sorry. We are closed.” You will be missed.
GOOD NEWS BAD NEWS!!!
One of the former Udipi Raleigh partners opened Sai Krisna Bhavan, an all vegetarian South Indian restaurant in Morrisville, North Carolina.
as far as strip malls go, this one ain't bad
Our south indian coffee came out hot, but not hot enough. The masala wada was fried then reheated. Had a great cumin seed flavor, if you like that, I do. Coconut chutney had too much Urad lentils and therefore was crunchy, but edible. We asked for mulagapodi and it arrived in a pickle tray in powder form with a texture reminiscent of vacuum cleaner dust.
we fought over this upma though
Mom’s rava dosa was not cooked enough on one side, the onions were still almost raw. They brought me a rava dosa when I ordered a butter masala dosa, the masala had too many green peas. The upma had peas too. Indian food normally doesn’t normally have peas.
interesting buffet:: 20+ items including baby corn pakora, jackfruit, and kerala fry
I cut them a break because they opened less than a month ago and are still getting their routines and system down. The chef let too many details slide and they were off on too many staples like sambar. It tasted OK, but it wasn’t sambar. I’m guessing the buffet kicks ass though, and I’d go back to try it out. Next time I’m in town for sure.
