This place has changed to a smaller space and limited menu. The food still tastes good. Many varieties of Dosa and other South Indian food. Seating space has around 5 tables inside. Good for takeout.

I went there to Have Thali and they didnt have it so i went for bisebelle bath(sambar rice). I was surprised they offered raita as a side instead of appalam/pappad. I have to pay extra for it.The sambar rice i got had lot of burnt jeera and chilli so I didnt enjoy the rice. I ended up paying $14+ for a plate of sambar rice and appalam, which i found it to be expensive.The place was not clean for a dine-in.The service was quick.I dont recommend this place as of now.

Tasty sambar, not so good idli. Owner took the extra effort to serve late night idli, extra star for that.

Kitchen which also serves non veg is now combined :( in a adjoining restaurant. If youre fine with that yhe food is fine and the owners are nice people

Decided to try the restaurant after almost 2 years and I was pleasantly surprised. The food taste has improved a lot. Placed a takeout order. Idly, Vada and Dosay all had more authentic taste. Will definitely visit again soon.

Decent place to savour south Indian food. The place was literally empty on a Saturday noon. I guess most of them are take away due to the covid stuff. The ambience was just okay, with one person serving for dining.

Bought vegetable uttapam and idly. Both were really delicious.The decor needs a little work, but the prime are very friendly, service is great and the food was delicious.

We ordered South Indian breakfast menu for a group of 15 people. Everything on the menu was good and the dessert was delicious. We had extra food for 5-7 people which was great. Would highly recommend. V.K Pad was the chef and he took the order and was very friendly.

Horrible food ! Served warm ! The sambhar taste was disgusting !! Will never go again ! Waste of money !This does not deserve even a star ! Took too late to serve ! Tho late food was horrible !! Way Too oily ! Do not recommend this place at all !!

I dont review most places, but I feel the need to here. The food was subpar at best, and totally not worth the money. Most things were uncooked and seem to have prepared carelessly. Please dont ruin the good name of udupi. These restaurants take advantage of the fact that Indians keep coming and dont maintain quality.

The food was great. I was pleasantly surprised. The chutney and rava masala dosa was excellent.

Used to be a good place. After the recent updates it has lost its quality

Urad dhal vada is crispy and good. But Sambar is not tasty. Sambar is simply masala only. Chutneys coconut is like frozen one and watery too. For ghee roast, they added lot of ghee..because of lot of ghee, kids unable to eat that ghee roast.

The food was good enough but we placed an order for pick-up at 5, got there at 5:30 and actually left with the food almost an hour later. People there did not know what was going on. One UberEats person was really upset because the delay was costing money and allow her other order to get cold. We do not plan to go back

We got mysore bonda, dosa, and mutton chukka. The chukka was good, dosa was average, and bonda was oily and smelt like they used old oil. The place did not feel inviting and comfortable: all paper/disposable plates and cups, self service, etc. Not good place for family dine in.

Went for dine-in and ordered sambar idli and mysore coffee. Ambience is very shady. Dipped Sambar idli had almost no sambar in it and was really bad in taste. And coffee was also not good, definitely not tasted like mysore coffee.

Good place for South Indian cuisine. Kids friendly.

I must say this is arguably one of the best South Indian restaurants I’ve been to. Dosa and Uttapam were absolutely incredible

Just heaven for South Indian cuisine... loved it! Authentic udipi sambhar. Value for money if going for buffet. 👏👏👏 has ample parking space...

Loved the Lunch Buffet , Has so many varieties of food. reasonable price ~14$

We went there for Dine in on Sunday Evening. And order Gobi Munchurian, Paneer Dosa and Chana Bhutura. Starting with Munchurian i would say it was Ok. But then chana, Looks like they used garbanzo beans from Can. It was not mixed with gravy. Just the oil was all over. We used our spoon to take oil from it. Very disappointed. And finally Dosa had lot of oil too.Also when you Dine in they will give you all the utensils and paper napkins. But over here from water, Napkins, and Utensils you need to get by your self. And after you finish eating you throw everything in trash. And Foam cup to drink water. That’s not Dine in.I don’t know if I will go back.

Idli, dosa, masala dosa and end with a filter coffee. Nice customer service :)

We went to Udupi Cafe for Sunday dinner , the hall was completely empty only waiter & cashier were there , we three people had sambar vada , podi dosa , special rava dosa , poori masala , it was good total cost around $50 , they mentioned about buffet in menu , when one of my friend asked about buffet to cashier , she explained well that it is 5 types of rice , 5 types of dal , Sambar vada , dhai vada , special during weekends buffet timings 11am to 3pm. Buffet cost is $13 .

They cancelled my order on DoorDash after 90 mins. Worst customer experience ever !

One of the places to avoid at all costs if possible. South Indian food is hard to get and these folks are nowhere near authentic neither south nor Indian food. Please avoid at all costs.

Great place to get dosa, uttapam, idli, sambar, pani puri... all your South Indian vegetarian favorites.

Forget Anjappar guys this is the closest South Indian food I have had in Seattle. Seriously. Yes they have less menu options and sometimes wait time can be long but the food is what matters guys and that will not disappoint you. Please visit and support this place. Five stars!!! 🙏

Decent south Indian restaurant at Bellevue...

Best dosa and idli Ive had in Bellevue-Redmond area! Highly recommend it!

Traditional dosas and curries with a wide range of different flavors. Always delicious food and friendly staff.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE (yes, in caps) the Idly here. Vada was also good but the idly was just amazing. We moved to the US in 2019 and ate here first in November 2020. And it was by far the best idly chutney sambar we had ever eaten here in the US. Since discovering this, we have ordered at least 7 times and will be ordering here even more in the future.

Just had coffee. Liked it.

Great food and helpful service.

Very tasty South Indian food. The onion massla dosa was very crispy. Quiq service.

I ordered Rasam as a soup entry. Which is just a water with a mixture of chilli powder and tomoto. I never tasted this kind of rasam in my life. Check the picture you will understand. Total waste of money.

Ordered two dosas to go. Received 2 flimsy dosas with almost no filling and a half container of sambhar for TWO DOSAS. Called them and was told thats their standard portion.Half cup sambhar for Two dosas. Can you imagine? Had to make my own sambhar to finish the meal. Extremely disappointing and completely unacceptable. Would never recommend.

We had someone in our group who recently came from India; back in India he regularly enjoys lot of authentic food of excellent quality. Even he agreed that this is really good food, does it need any better certificate?From my personal viewpoint, this is definitely the best South Indian food that I have ever eaten in US - I really enjoyed the buffet that was extremely vegan friendly. Got an opportunity to speak to the owner too, and expressed our gratitude. We will definitely visit many more times.

If you love Idli, Dosas & Vadas, this is a very good place to go! Sambar and Chutneys were decent!

We used to go to this place a lot. Owner is every kind and always went above and beyond to make Jain and swaminarayan food for us.

DIRTY & DINGY. By Far this place has been our WORST experience. Not sure how these guys can get away and still in business. No Hand sanitizer or the lady not even wearing mask which is mandatory. We ordered Paneer Butter Masala and my hubby almost threw up it was disgusting and tasted very old. Looks like it was put in microwave and brought. Vada was hard like rock though we asked rasa vada, they ran out of rasam. Under the table we saw spiders and that was it. We could not eat anymore & we paid the bill and left. The lady never even asked why we left without even having 2 servings of the absolute GROSS Food. Udupi chain in India is quite nice and this is a shame for their name. On a Sat evening when we were the only guys dining in, we should have gone elsewhere.

Expensive with mediocre quality.

We came for dinner on a Sunday evening. The place was completely empty. Ordered chili paneer and they gave us tofu instead of paneer. We asked for 3 cokes, and we’re told there was only one. Ordered two mango lassis and they were warm. When we asked for ice, they said they didn’t have any. Warm beverages are an ongoing issue here. The ambience of the restaurant is very dingy. The dosas were decently flavored, but the experience as a whole was lackluster at best.

1. There was a pin (a metal stapler pin) on the bread.(The staff was quick to replace the bread. No reason was offered about what caused the mistake but they were quick to act and replace the bread. The lady in charge came and apologized. I understand — mistakes happen. Would urge them to not repeat this with anybody.)2. The use of Styrofoam bowls during their buffet is absolutely unacceptable.(If you are a patron, urge them to switch to durables. The food prices are competitive — I see no reason for not being able to wash dishes. If you care about the planet, if you care about the health of your kids — urge them, as a patron — to switch to durables.Ditch disposables in “for-here” or “to-stay” settings. Vote from your pocket. Give a damn.)

Good South Indian RestaurantWe ordered Rasa Vada , Paper Masala Dosa , Idly Vada, coffee . From Taste POV i highly recommend this restaurant.The Ambience is ok ok , i assume this is a To Go Restaurant.The Waiting time is on the higher side (>20mins).Taste : I liked the paper dosa and Rasa vada very much 5* for the sameThe idly i did not seem to like much 3.5* .Coffee : Superb 5* .Overall a good Restaurant, will visit again !!

Super friendly and professional staff. I loved the food and tea. Indoor is clean and organized. The outside area is also clean and theres quite a decent space for car parking.

Most of their options were vegan at the buffet and tasted absolutely amazing. I love Indian food and this place is one of my favorites now. There were two salads, healthy options, and not too greasy. I ate so much and felt great afterwards. The customer service was fantastic, we were approached often and they brought out dishes specifically for us.

Im just in love with South Indian cuisine now. Clean, healthy and delicious food. I would definitely come back. Highly recommended! A+ service.

Excellent food and fantastic customer service. What else you need? the customer service is way above 5 star. They can make Jain meals on demand if you request them. My thumbs up for this place.

Open late hours. Food is average. Service is good . The buffet on weekend mornings is good value for money

The guy doing the cooking is so slooooow. Im late dont doordash here

Love the food and service. However they could do a better job at labeling. You can never tell what has dairy and what does not.

Authentic South Indian food

I tried their weekend buffet and it was great. Authentic food; Dosa, Idly , vada were just amazing and i really liked it. Desserts are bit too sweet but thats okay. Service can be little better. Overall 5 Stars!

Great options for Jain/Swaminarayan vegetarians! Owner was very polite and went above and beyond to make sure we have best experience even with special dietary needs. Food was fantastic. Highly recommend this place!

The lady that serves here is super polite and we love the masala dosa here.

Great food. Tasty and Quality is very good. homely feel... staffs are very friendly.

This place has improved a lot. Have been to this place couple of times before and the experiences were not great, but the this time the food was great.

Good place for South Indian food

Awesome food. This place has authentic south Indian food. Its a feast for me Everytime I go there.

Even though name is Udupi, taste is no where near South India. If you ever had bad south Indian dishes in Northern parts of India (Mainly in morning breakfast menu of random hotel), it exactly tastes the same. There are other food places around this area which make better Idly/Dosa than here. So, flagship Udupi name is not worth of it. I am giving 2 stars for the menu and place.

I had ordered South Indian thali. Food was tasting good. Quantity was more than enough for me. It was fresh and hot. Overall it was a good experience

Lovely restaurant with a beautiful ambience and lovely delicious buffet

Hair in dosa.... need attention when they serve food got exchange offer but dont want waste food .

My latest review. Food and service is improved. Improving my feedback from 1 to 3 stars. Below is my previous (old) review and keeping it for a while.Ghatiya food. Expensive restaurant and provides less quantity. They charge $4 up on every items. If you charge high, give good quality and quantity. Not worthy.

Food was really good taste. Decent price for the variety and quality of food at the Buffet. Anyone looking for authentic vegetarian Indian buffet lunch at a good price – I highly recommend! Mango Lassi and Chai was a pleasant surprise!

If you are looking for a place to eat, no matter how hungry you are, DO NOT go here. Youll probably be better off going to a different country and eating. Itll definitely be faster. They bring half the order and will keep telling you the other half is coming soon for another half an hour. After which your hunger would have died and you wont like the food anyways. When youll tell the manager, he will just say sorry and run to the kitchen, not to be seen anytime soon again. One of the worst service I have seen ever.

Must try fresh and hot garlic nan and mixed vegetable curry. Good place for vegetarians and people who want to taste Karnataka food.

Decent food, and it is vegetarian only. So, thats great.

I have been here only once, and was never really motivated to visit again. The quality of food needs a lot of improvement. The place didnt smell good either. Recommend the management to renovate and up the reputation because the competition in this area is the highest in all of WA. Bellevue probably has the most Indian restaurants.

A very nice place, neat clean and courteus guys. South Indian delicacy is tasty too. Wish all the guys of Udupi cafe, the very best. :)

Good food. Needs better ambiance and restrooms. The music needs to change. At least, play the real songs, not some terrible instrumental version.

We visited this place for a quick lunch over a regular grocery run. It turned out to be very disappointing when it comes to taste. We ordered a South Indian Veg Thali and it had all the currys with high water content and no vegetables to find. that said, the papad was placed on top of hot rice which made it soggy. The curd was slightly sour and we felt we paid for nothing. The Roti offered in the south indian thali was like a newbie trying to roast one. That said, the service was very good though. that said who cares that icing is good if the cake is rotten.

Pure vegetarian hotel. You feel like in South India.

Courteous staff and great service. Good place for vegetarian/vegan food. Typical south-indian menu with great dosas, particularly their plain butter dosa and uthappams to name a few. My favorite is the thali. Love the side-dishes and curries in the thali. Would recommend folks to give it a try.

We recently went there for buffet.At the end of it we asked for plain dosa ( a dish they have in buffet). They kept us waiting for 40-45 min till we decided to leave. It seemed planned since at the time of leaving on letting the owner know about it .. all we got was a smile. Likely, they were out of it , but letting us know 40 min in advance would have saved us a bunch of time!

One of the best places to have a nice Indian chai. Prashant and his partner are both excellent at customer service and aim to please. The food is an excellent reminder of South Indian spices and cuisine. Check out their latest fast food corner as well.

Worst place ever, no customers in restaurant but wait time- 30 min minimum, horrible customer service

Amazing legit Southern Indian food (veg). Delicious every time I go. Make sure to get the Masala Dosa. The employees are super friendly and helpful, too! Will explain any of the dishes to you and give good recommendations!

Warm mouth melting idlis served fresh as part of the buffet

Not a great ambience or sitting arrangement, some of the food items are taste good. But, my biggest concern is why dont they have some notice saying, they dont serve any food item apart from Dosa after 9PM.I had to wait for about an hour just to know that they dont serve the item mentioned on the menu item. I wish they had made this clear some where on the menu ..... But,when they serve the items on the menu they taste good.

Awesome food with real Udupi/Bangalore taste! It reminds me of the old days in Bangalore! Absolutely the one to have as a regular restaurant 😃

It’s amazing, not as great as Madras Dosa Corner but almost as good. 😬 it’s neat. Staff friendly I think. They have good menu, lot of varieties

Had been here for a lunch buffet. The choices for South Indian and North Indian cuisines were good.

Tried their weekend buffet which was terrible. Food was not fresh & could sense it was reheated from past day. Biryani was the worst of all & smelled bad. Chutney was rotten tasted funky. No one was there to attend to our table & we waited for 30 mins to get a dosa that was part of the buffet. There were hardly 4 tables so it was not that busy. Water glass had stains on them & after we asked to have those changed no one ever came back. We just decided to leave after having 1 serving & went to another restaurant. Only the name Udupi is there but food overall was disgusting.

Worked here the owner treat really bad the staff like tools when they like they fire when they like they take you. Never given a single cent from the tips that people left they take home and enjoy we work all day like robots and they only pay a little bit.

A tad expensive, food was just ok. Service could be better as well

The lunch is around 14 bucks on weekend. The food is good and all vegetarian. They have good and decent lunch menu

Loved the butter masala Dosa. Idli and bisi bele bath were average.

Absolutely disgusted finding hair in Veg Biryani it was quite big. That was pretty gross. To add the owner was very rude when told him . Tried to say it was mine but clearly it was ladies. Never going back . Tables were sticky and they dont even have their restroom. Tht public restroom was just filthy. No respect for hygiene tells you how the food may be prepared. STAY OFF THIS FILTHY PLACE. Been to a few places but this is worst.

The Udipi cafe serves a buffet lunch and dozen of us which included extended families settled down for lunch The buffet was extensive vegetarian food including all typical South Indian food excluding the food normally from Kerala and Karnataka.The cooking was excellent and the taste authentic to the region The sweet dish were excellent except that the carrot halwa was a out of place taste wise and location wise.Overall a excellent cafe and the filter coffe has flavour creamy and smooth...typically Indian Highly recommend and appreciated

We ordered the food online and both of us had our stomach upset pretty badly the early morning. Food quality is very bad. I wonder how can they not cook sambar and vada claiming to be a South Indian restaurant.

Very bad service and bad food. Poor labeling of food items, oblivious server and no hand wash sink either! Very bad taste of food and a 100% disappointment to have gone to This place just because it was lunch time and we did not want to go further. The owner should just shut it down if he cares this much about the food quality, service and customer satisfaction. 0 STAR!!!

Authentic South Indian food. Vada and idly truly udupi style 👍

Excellent food. Very nice customer service. Even filter coffee is excellent.

Really bad food. Ordered paneer butter massal mild (2 star). Dish was extremely salty and super spicy, hard to even eat. Would never order again.

Amazing south Indian restaurant,many veriety of items and everything was so delicious in Buffett,we are visiting Seattle for a week, and one day we wanted to eat south Indian lunch.and this was perfact choice, I think this quality of food ,would never find in LA.

Pathetic service and bad quality food. Went with 3 of my friends and all of us fell sick. Highly overpriced for the quantity and would caution anyone planning to try their food!

This place is just next to anjappar. Care of Memorial Day anjappar was closed so we tried this and trust me I was happy that I was in this cafe than anywhere else . It’s soo good. Each dish was very tasty authentic Indian taste . Dono what kinda taste buds who has given 1 * to this has, but I totally enjoyed it .

Nice vegetarian buffet. Open later hours (midnight). Owners are super nice people.

We went for buffet..It was good for both north and south Indian options. Pretty good option within 2 miles
