I ordered via UberEats Eat. I got the Masala dosa. The dosa was huge! It was also packed full of flavor. It would be extremely helpful if the menu was clearly labeled vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, etc. Please take this into consideration. I even looked at your actual restaurant menu and it is not clearly labeled. I love how many vegetarian options there are. I cannot speak for the ambience because I did not dine in.

Very average food the first time i visited. Not aure if it was one off day for them. The vada was too sour. The rava dosa was average, felt more like an instant mix lacked taste.

No one came to even serve us water again. We had to call another server for it. Rava dosa was not crispy.

This is a really great restaurant in Houston's Mahatma Gandhi district. I went for their all vegetarian lunch buffet which was reasonably priced and plentiful. The service was prompt and friendly as well. Highly recommend!

The service was poor. I went with my 3 kids 14, 5, and 9 months. My both kids purchased pav bhaji and my husband I purchased thali. During our meal my 5 year old got few cantaloupe in a small sambar cup (4-5 pieces) from buffet table and the resturant charged her for thali and her a la carte Pav bhaji. We tried to explain them to just charge her for a dessert, if anything. But he was firm and rude. Not to mention the tone he was using was very embarrassing. We paid and left to never return again and also to inform our friends and family. He definitely lost a repeated 15 year old customer today. Very disappointed in the owner and manager. Please be humble.

Worst customer service ever, there was a plastic in our curry , food was tasteless and at the time of biling we mentioned about discount the Mexican guy started showing attitude and saying rubbish things, being a Indian that’s not how you treat us. And he said i can’t give discount. TRY TO WORK ON IT

Not a fancy place!Udipi Cafe is an OK place for a quick bite on weekday.We went on a weekday afternoon for Lunch Buffet. Some items tasted very fresh and tasty that day while some were not good.We were lucky, sambar, idly and vada were all fresh tasting. Also bhatura and some vegetables tasted really good that day. Payasam was good as well. Did not try any chutney, pickle, raita, or salad.All in all, the buffet is a good value for the weekday price. Their service was very attentive. Wish, they would upgrade the place, ambience, and decor to make the place more pleasing.

The place is perfect for vegetarian food lovers. The buffet lunch is really good with excellent south Indian dishes. Worth value.

The lunch buffet is really delicious and authentic. The owner, the manager and the entire Team personally check with each Table and make certain you have a great experience. We especially loved the weekend buffet, just wished we'd skipped breakfast so we could have done more justice to our stomach for the awesome spread they had. We are definitely going back, and would recommend this to any vegetarian Indian food lover.
