Giant paper dosas, spicy curries, and sweet chutneys served affordably
"At the Mission’s Udupi Palace, the Madras coffee—possibly the only place in San Francisco offering the drink by that name—is filtered every morning and served in mugs a la Americana rather than traditional vessels; it’s been on the menu for decades, and as co-owner Bino Jacob says, “People love Madras coffee,” and “Everybody orders it.”" - Paolo Bicchieri
"Udupi Palace is where you go when to catch up with a friend for an hour while wearing your post-gym outfit, and eat some of the best dosas in the Mission. The ones at this South Indian vegetarian spot are perfectly crispy, filled with ingredients like well-spiced potatoes, and some are roughly the size and shape of a small briefcase. This small spot also does a saag paneer that’s heavier on the spinach, puffy poori, fried samosas that get a boost of flavor from an array of chutneys, and a big curry section." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
"This South Indian vegetarian institution in the Mission hits all the right spots. There are giant masala dosas, spicy curries, and sweet chutneys aplenty, all sans meat. Prices here run on an opposite axis to portions, meaning there are huge thali trays stuffed to the edge with phenomenal poori and curry for $16.95. Open until 9 p.m., this Valencia Street mainstay stays poppin’ right until that final bell." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Vegetarians will enjoy this South Indian restaurant’s giant dosas, spicy curries, and sweet chutneys, free of guilt over human (or animal) exploitation. Entree prices top out at around $15, even for dinner, so they’ll also fill you up without breaking the bank." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Udupi Palace is where you go when you want to show up in sweats, catch up with a friend for an hour, and eat some of the best dosas in the Mission. The ones at this South Indian vegetarian spot are perfectly crispy, filled with well-spiced potatoes, and, depending on the kind you get (like the mysore) are roughly the size and shape of a small briefcase. This small spot also does a saag paneer that’s heavier on the spinach, ultra puffy poori, fried samosas that get a boost of flavor from an array of chutneys, and a big curry section. And if getting dressed in sweats and casually popping in for a meal is still too much for you to handle, don’t stress. Udupi Palace also runs a solid takeout operation." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
