Dahi poori on point. Dosas on point. The tali is the star of the show. Honeslty, in my opinion, this is the best Indian restaurant in Toronto. I'll be coming here as long as I live in this city. I have been for at least 7 years and I've yet to be disappointed. read more

Went back after an year...was disappointed at the huge drop in quality and increase in prices..you would think they would maintain or improve their offerings when they increased the prices by as much as 20-25%...we used to go for dosas but noticed they were bad so switched to tandoor items(available on weekends only) and they too suck badly now...NOT GOING BACK AGAIN.......for our meal yesterday we ordered vegetarian sheek kebab and paneer tikka, both tasted badly and the dal makhni was like water with little dal and no salt ..when we first complained all they did was listen...second time they added salt and brought us new dal but it still was watery...the mint chutney was stale and watery too....bad experience...total waste of time and money...would not recommend at all......... read more

Fantastic food and service. Delicate and bold flavours. Every dish has character! I recommend the sampler if you want to experience the various spices. It's a great introduction for someone who hasn't had authentic South Indian food before. Thanks for bringing wonderful moments of culinary happiness in our day :-) Sylvie & Charlie read more

Really delicious food but I have no idea why they don't offer the same food on their menu that they sampled during the summer festival. Lousy service though. We waited for ages in a virtually empty restaurant and the wait staff were really unhelpful when asked for help with selecting our meals. read more

I go to this restaurant since it opened. great service. When we need to go out for dinner or having party or catering for south Indian food. this is the only one in my mind. even owner personally take interest in the specialty order. Although people might know them as south Indian place but you should try their Punjabi dishes, chili pakora, Bhel, lassi and soda also. all staff are very friendly and remembers your like even after many months and year you go back. there is no better place you can find than this. There is another competitor in Mississauga i had tried once with big party of 40 person reservation and last minute i had 4 more person came to visit us so; i took them with me also. When we reached their competitor and told them we have 44 person rather than 40. they refused to accommodate 4 extra person. I call right away to this place on the busy Saturday evening and owner graciously says no problem it might take some time to prepare the orders but atleast he made us welcomed. I will always remember this incident and respect for their great customer service and satisfaction. read more

Having "Palace" in your restaurant's name and the decor resembling a large basement seems odd but hey, the food is fantastic! My husband and I ordered the Idli Manchurian. It came in a small tin dish on top of a round metal plate. think we were the whitest people in the restaurant (I'm actually yellow but really white on the inside). We looked around to see if anyone was eating off of plates. We just decided to devour the Idli Manchurian right out of the dish, only realizing after that there were metal plates under the dish. duh! The Manchurian dish was my absolute favourite. Crispy on the outside and a delicious garlicky glaze sauce on the outside. I think my eyes were bulging out of my head when i had my first taste. We ordered the saag paneer and the spring dosa. The saag paneer comes with a small dish of rice, pickle, chapati, yogurt and papad. quite a good deal! I'm not sure which was which (chapati/papad) but one was crispy and thin and the other was thicker and chewier. The spring dosa was good but a touch too greasy. The dipping sauce was pretty tasty too! I'm not sure what the second dipping sauce was but it was porridge-like and grey. It tasted better than it looked. The 3 dishes was perfect for two people. We could've ordered an appetizer but I think we would've been aching so I'm glad we stopped when we did. I would love to come back and try the kofta! read more

This has been my go to place whenever I feel like eating dosa and hot medu vadas! This place literally looks like a South Indian wedding hall. The decor is very minimal. They have random half-finished paintings on the wall. It also seems like they got most of their cutlery and dishes from India. Anyway, that doesn't matter much since the food is amazing! The medu vadas and idlis are always piping hot. The dosas are nice and crispy. They also have a nice combo option for a few dosas so that you can get a plate of vada and idli with them. And since I am a vada fan they don't have any qualms with replacing my idli with a vada. If you have even the slightest idea what an authentic South Indian place should be like, you know that the real stars apart from the deep fried savoury delicacies are the condiments...the chutney and the sambhar. I am biased towards chutneys a bit more and the coconut chutney they serve with all their dishes, while not the best, is just acceptable. The sambhar is better though but I guess I just have a higher bar on those. The place is located in Little India. As soon as you get down from the Gerrard tram you will get a lovely scent of spices and it does really feel like India with all the Saree stores around you. read more

I was arranging a Christmas party in my home and wanted a Vegetarian restaurant to deliver the food. Believe me, the ONLY vegetarian restaurant in the city of Toronto who will deliver is Udupi. Hubert the catering manager was very helpful , professional and above all delivered an absolutely delightful tasty meal with no mistakes and including everything we discussed. I want to congratulate Udupi and Hubert on a job well done. We will call on you again read more

Recently had lunch at Udupi Palace with family/friends after a break of almost a year. The previous visit was somewhat below their usual standards. But this time, each item we ordered far exceeded our expectations. Being of South Indian origin our standards are quite high but we were blown over. And the prices - they may as well be giving away the food. We plan on making this a fixture on our vegetarian outings. read more

not authentic claustrophobic space below average food read more

Party of 3 on a Tuesday suppertime in late February. Received wonderful service from our waiter who recommended several different dishes to let us sample a variety of the offerings. We loved it all. As out of towners, we had the good sense to order take away for lunches next day. We all agreed the food was excellent with masterful seasonings. Our waiter told us a bit about each dish and about the preparation of the different 'flours' for the 'bread' items. Really outstanding, flavourful food and generous portions at extremely fair prices. We were so impressed by the service too. Now we are unable to visit Toronto without a stop at this superb restaurant. It's less about the ambiance here - it's about the delicious food and the welcoming atmosphere. read more

Always reliable, excellent Dosa. Always. Both the regular and special semolina dosa are great, tea is nice, lassi is thick and portions are large and definitely expand in your stomach on the way home. Try an interesting fusion szechuan kofta - interesting and tasty. The dosa really are the best, everything else is good. Yes it's like a cafeteria, but the price is very fair and so truly tasty. We visit several times a year and are never disappointed. read more

The best vegetarian South Indian food anywhere near me. Recommend Medu Vada, Potato bhonda, Tokri Chaat (all chaat items), Utthapam, all Dosas, Chana batura The Thali is a lot of food for me to eat but it's the best deal if you share it. You can't go wrong with this bright, spacious place and quick and friendly service. read more

We recently had dinnet at Udupi. The food was awful. Basically it had no taste. The Dosa was like rubber and sambar and chutney with absolutely no taste. I can't imagine how they managed to prepare such horrible food.It's a total disgrace to the yummy , flavourful south Indian food read more

I am so glad I found this awesome restaurant - the UDIPI...great people, better food - tastes like it would in Chennai. They have replicated the true taste and the flavor of Indian vegetarian food like you would find in India. Simply put, the best in Canada, shall I say? read more

Spicy vegetarian food at cheap prices -- quite wonderful! Decor is akin to an abandoned skating rink, but we would happily eat here again.

For years I have enjoyed family meals, thank you dinners, congratulations lunches and quick snacks on the run. Having eaten Udupi food in Mumbai, this food is authentic in ingredients and preparation. The staff are friendly and attentive and the service is quick! read more

This place does not have fancy decor, but i imagine it adds to the authenticity of the place. It's not as if the prices would warrant high expectations on decor. I am no Indian food expert - butter chicken is my favourite Indian dish and I know it's almost like ordering chicken balls from a Chinese restaurant, but I know what tastes good, and this place is one of the best Indian places I've ever eaten, AND one of the best vegetarian places I've ever eaten. Everything is so flavourful, you really don't miss the meat. I've been twice now and both times, staff were very friendly and helpful in providing suggestions on dishes and quantity for the table. I had the mango lassi and that was yummy too. Note that there is no alcohol here. If you like bready things, you will love the dosas and other breads. This is a good place to go on a random weeknight, if you shy away from super busy places, reservations or lineups. read more

Had a great meal at Udupi Palace. Tried the Udupi special; Idli, Medu Vada and Masala Dosa. All the food was great! Fresh, hot and tasty. Finished the meal with a Madras coffee and Sheera.. Perfect Diwali treat for myself :) read more

Okay, so the place looks like a cafeteria, but the food is incredible. Every time I go I plan to have something other than the Thali, but just can't seem to bring myself to order anything else... it's always different and it's always amazing. Fortunately I have sampled many other goodies off the plates of my companions and everything was great. Highly recommended. read more

Quick service. Well staffed. The thali is great. Only vegetarian food but a must for everyone who enjoys Indian food. I had been here once before and didn't enjoy it as much. After my recent meal, I feel like the first meal must have just been a one off. read more

Fantastic food. First time visitors but with the help of the waitstaff were able to order an incredible meal at very reasonable prices. Have been back since and recommended to/brought friends. read more

Best Indian food in Toronto, great price & great service come on the weekends for the veg seekh kabab!!

not good....only serve coconut chutney and tiny tiny sambar with a dosa...if there's not tomato chutney it's just not worth it for me

Udupi Palace hosted a large group of us for dinner. The masala dosas and aloo saag were my favourites -- the coconut chutney and sweet dal were also amazing! The host was very accommodating, and all the food arrived promptly. Lovely place. read more

We recently hired Udupi Palace for their outdoor dosa service for my parents' 25th anniversary party. They will come to your venue and make fresh dosas right off the grill! Hubert, the owner, came himself along with a chef and they were absolutely fabulous! Not only did they offer us help with setting up for the party, but they were so wonderful with all of our guests. And the food was sooooo delicious and enjoyed by every single guest! I'd highly recommend the outdoor dosa to anyone considering catering for an event. read more

Super fresh, tasty Dosas. Didn't try the Thali. Definitely NOT wheelchair accessible.

A good place to frequent. The taste stays plain and consistent. Plenty of options to choose from. Friendly staff and good food.

I love this place and eat here very often. The food is wonderful, the takeout is fast, the staff is great if you're dining in, and the prices are great. Their dal and potato dosas can't be beat! read more

Udupi Palace is my favorite place at the Gerrard India Bazaar. After living for one year in Bangalore, I found the authentic flavors of India in this great restaurant. The staff are all very nice - especially Peter! He knows his stuff. I would highly recommend this restaurant for all occasions. Thali, masala dosa, pani puri, chole bhathura - everything is delicious and the prices are beyond reasonable. A place to go for authentic, amazing south Indian vegetarian food. Make sure to give it a try, you won't regret it! read more

If you are looking for authentic vegetarian South Indian food, this is it. Equally as good as anything I ate in the south of India. I have been to this restaurant many times and the food is consistantly great. Perfect dosas. I love that there is usually something different in the thali. Always feel warmly welcomed and well fed each visit. read more

I visit Udipi Palace whenever I yearn for South Indian food, which is almost every month. Today I visited the restaurant again and my experience was sub-standard. After ordering a couple of items for lunch I ordered dessert - Badam Halwa. A halwa is a relatively dense confection. What was offered to me was a thickened liquid that was extremely sweet and barely edible. I informed the server of this and was told this is how the dessert is made. After a couple of minutes the manager came to repeat what was told to me by the server. I asked for the dish to be taken back and prepared again. I was told the "repeat" dish would be just as sweet. Quite frankly if the dish was freshly prepared in the restaurant, I do not understand how the amount of sugar could not be reduced. The manager then told me I would have to pay for the dessert and he could pack it for me to take home!! The fact that the dish was too sweet was completely lost on him and he didn't care about my satisfaction. I told him it was inedible and taking it home would not change anything. After ordering items close to $45 an additional $5 wouldn't make a difference to me financially, however his attitude and lack of concern has made me realize they do not care about their customer's opinion. The hallmark of a good restaurant is the quality of their food preparation and the generosity of its staff. Today Udipi Palace failed on both fronts and they have lost a customer for life. read more

Had been to this Udupi palace with a friend. Although not really authentic, the food was still good. The Bisibelbath missed the real karnataka touch by a margin, but was still a decent dish. The place was decent. What really put me down was the rude attitude of the workers(managers I guess). God he was terrible, super rude and snappy. Parotta in India can be made in different styles, Kerala type or north Indian type. When I asked him what style it is made of, he replied "Its this big"!!!! Didn't answer my question. I asked him specifically to which he replied "You don't have to eat if you don't know what it is".... Dude, are you serious. Havant seen anyone with attitude all over that too in hospitality industry. Didn't want to storm out as my friend badly wanted Bisibelabath, I ordered dosa which was ok. Then I asked for Chapati and finally coffee. Usually chapati is served with raita or side-dish, little do I know that they dont serve that. Fine. Super cool dude winked his eyes and smiled when I said chapati and coffee. Later he served me two plain chapatis and coffee and said "chapatis and coffee for you SIR!!" Then I realized the situation, he knew all the way that chapatis are served separately and side-dish has to be ordered, but preferred to humiliate me by opting not to say that in open. Too bad buddy, not the least I expect from you. One should realize ordering side-dish is no big deal. Not wanting to create a scene, I paid the bill and came off. Overall pretty bad experience with the staff and decent food. Personally would never ever visit this place again. read more

I was introduced to this place by a friend, and I must say this place is amazing, the decor not so,but the best deal , i have visited few South Indian vegetarian restaurants in Mississauga but this stands out, The service was equally wonderful, definately worth the drive, kids had a playroom too.loved it, my favourite the Paneer Masala Dosa & Mango Lassi read more

We have come to enjoy Udupi Palace on a regular basis. We are especially pleased with the attentive service and assistance provided by Peter. He is always very welcoming and informative. He takes time to familiarize us with the various options. Thank you! read more

The most authentic Southern Indian food that you will find in Toronto. Udupi Palace makes me want to go back to India! Warm, accommodating (vegan, gluten-free) and speedy service. Thank you Peter! read more
