"My son, husband, and I visited Udupi Cafe for their lunch buffet while on vacation. As vegetarians, we were in heaven there were approximately seven entrees available, three of them vegan. (Each vegan item was labeled. The buffet included the entrees, soups, naan, rice, chai, one (masala dosa and rice pudding (which we didn 't try we were too full by then . We tried most of the dishes all were flavorful and most were what I would call medium+ spicy (to a person from the US . I see that on another popular restaurant review website, Udupi Cafe has several low ratings along with some glowing ones. It looks like the most of the negative reviewers visited for dinner. I can 't speak to their comments about the lack of service except to say that our experience was totally positive. A few tidbits from our experience.... My son really wanted a dosa and when we saw the buffet, we asked if we could order a dosa from the dinner menu. The host told us that a small dosa was included with the buffet, and ours arrived a few minutes later. (We could hear the host telling the cook to prepare them, so I know they were fresh! I 'll let you decide from looking at the photo whether they are small. (I didn 't not as a side dish for the buffet anyway. We had arrived fairly early and there were no soup bowls out. I asked if there were any available and the host apologized profusely, then brought them out to the buffet table right away. Oh, I should comment about the decor there isn 't any. The restaurant is in a former strip mall storefront and it sort of looks like they just opened very plain and white. Some of the furniture looks well used. But our table and chairs were sturdy, and the food was hot and v e r y tasty. I 'd rather have this combination than lovely decor and bland food. I wouldn 't hesitate to go back. I would be a regular if I lived nearby."

One of the best thatte idli I've had here in US. Order some ghee podi on the side to elevate your experience even further. The green chutney was so fresh, so was the sambhar. I just wished it was a little more sour, but it was yum nonetheless. The dosawas crisp too. They've even renovated recently, so that's a plus. All in all, a really satisfying south Indian experience????????

We had an excellent $8 lunch buffet. The vegan items were all clearly labelled as such. The buffet includes an excellent dosa. Everything was wonderfully flavored. The hostess was very nice and reassuring about all things vegan. It is Southern Indian, which we enjoy. We hope to try this place for dinner at some point. We suggest you do the same; if not a lunch. Updated from previous review on Saturday July 16, 2011 We won't be back, its dirty. The dinner is a waste of time and money. The place is too dirty and we won't be back. From the plates on the bar, to the seating areas, it is just not to standard. If you check out cleanly an app that discloses inspections, you won't want to go.

Disappointing. Third grade. Too expensive compared to the standard of food, ambience and service. Rest of the food items aside, first time I saw bidibelibhat so watery and full of potatoes. Brought sambar in small plastic container that usually would beused for sauce/chutney. I did take a few bites of dosa but couldn’t get to sambar looking at the container. And finally leftwithout eating, and enjoyed Taco Bell instead. I am not sure what are Bellevue city protocol to let a place like thisoperate. 1. No Covid precautions, spoons and forks are kept in plastic boxes that can be touched by anyone 2. They serve hotsambar in plastic container 3. Hot bisibelibhat served in bowl not meant to serve...

I've been here multiple times for the lunch buffet and brought Omni friends with me, and they've all loved it. The hostess is very nice and each time I come in and explain that I am vegan, and she walks me through the buffet and points out everything that is vegan. (Usually most of it's labeled too but some things aren't). It's all vegetarian, and usually 50-75% of it is vegan too depending on the day. Then she also brings us roti to our table since the naan is not vegan, so that we have vegan bread. She speaks English pretty well, but in the experiences I've had so far, the rest of the servers (who mostly just refill water during the lunch buffet) don't speak english or understand it much a...

This is my updated review. After my initial unpleasant experience roughly six months ago with a breakfast buffet, I decided to give this place another chance. Am I ever glad I did! Last month, I had dinner at Udupi. It was amazingly good. I tried a very spicy south Indian crepe and a curried eggplant dish which is made from scratch on order. I was so impressed with dinner, that I decided to try their lunch buffet a few days later. This too, was a vast improvement. They have a balanced selection of both vegetarian and vegan dishes. I've tried all the vegan items and found most to be delicious and well seasoned. Fast forward to present day. I eat at this place so much I'm on a first name basis...

"Let me start by saying the food, presentation and wait service has been good to excellent on our 1st and 2nd visits over the last two weeks. But we definitely need to address a totally unacceptable response to an issue we ran into last night. Just after our 1st visit on 12/30/22 we called to inquire about their Corkage Fee which was stated as $35. We then booked another res for 1/7/23 for us and another couple and bringing a nice 08 Cab to share with our guests. So the bill arrives with the ridiculous Corkage of $45 shown. I nicely asked our waiter to reduce the charge to $35 and advised my wife had specifically called in to check it just 2 weeks before AND at $45 we would have not brought our own wine as $35 was bad enough. So here comes in tandem the Ops Director Ms. Martin and Chef/Owner Mr. Moore to say bluntly its $45 and that 's it. They couldn 't have cared less my wife had called in and Mr. Moore blurted out here 's the deal, we make no money on people bringing their own wine . They stood glaring at us in a demeaning way like how dare you to have questioned our policies? We paid our bill and left. So here are my closing comments on BIS On Main. We have spent over $640 on our two visits in recent weeks. You could have easily said okay, we will adjust this time but please be aware of the increase in the future and all would have been fine. Secondly, Mr. Moore should reconsider his very inappropriate comment about not making any money . Are you serious! So as they say, It will be a cold day in hell........"
