Udupi Palace - Artesia

This is a great place, and very often full during meal hours. The staff was courteous but got their hands full once the swarms of families started coming in but this is a good sign. What we should have done is waited a little longer and just told the staff to give us everything our neighboring tables were ordering! The breads all look fantastic and were huge! We've had the thali there, along with dosa, idli, and uthapam. Thali is always a great way to get a sampling of things if you can't decide (me), although I'm not often a fan of the soup varieties. The dosa was flavorful and they will ask you how hot you want it. The uthapam was basically a really hearty fancy pancake. I'll have to go back again to keep working down the menu...

This is a typical Udupi restaurant that is middling and average. The key to a good South Indian restaurant is the masala in the dosa. That says it all. Here the masala was disappointing as with most Udupi places in the USA. The only exception is Saravana Bhavan. However, the lassi was superior, and so was the idly and the vada. The masala tea again was the typical milky concotion served in most Indian restaurants that resembles rabri more than tea.

The Mysore Masala dosa (spicy) at this restaurant is truly delightful. Its vegan ingredients make my heart race with joy, and I savor every bite. This restaurant offers only vegan and vegetarian options, making it a great choice for plant-based eaters.

The Channa Bhaurra is a large restaurant offering a variety of Dosas. As someone who has been traveling to India since 1975, I can attest that the food is close to authentic. The service is good, and it is a promising sign to see a predominantly Indian clientele. I highly recommend it. Check out my profile for more information.

The restaurant is spacious and offers generous portions of delicious food. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the menu has good options, although it would be helpful if they labeled vegan items. Despite a minor mix-up with a side dish containing yogurt, the management quickly rectified the mistake. Overall, a positive dining experience with tasty food.
