in the chicken wrap.

Baklava is amaaazing.. so flaky.. not too sticky or gummy, as I have found others to be.

Oh, and the free lentil rice soup is delicious. I also tried the babba ghannouj, which was pretty good. The food is so filling, so I might pass on an appetizer next time because the soup + wrap is enough! Also they give you a free baklava after your meal!! So sweet :)

The food here is really great. I ate at Dosa before, which is a bit more upscale of an experience, but I feel like Udupi Palace is more authentic. First off, the service is really attentive. We ordered the utthapa (sp?) with mixed vegetables, which was delicious. I think it even had bits of shredded coconut in it (my favorite), along with peas, tomatoes, etc. Great flavors and texture. We also got the onion dosa which was stuffed with a massive amount of potatoes and grilled onions. The flavors were great, not too spicy or anything. Both dishes came with three types of chutneys on the side (mint, coconut, and tomato or something or other), and some kind of tomato-flavored dipping sauce. There ended up being more than enough food for two people, especially since the stuffed dosa is so filling. I would definitely recommend ordering one of the utthapa too. Next time I want to try the large dosa, because I saw them being served and they were SO BIG!

Total bill was $20 including tip. Delicious, and I would definitely come here again!!

Open late... quick and friendly service.. Warm and toasty naan... I had some ground chicken dish (aloo ?) with ginger and other herbs, and it had wonderful, sumptuous flavors. I liked the food at this location better than the one in the Tenderloin, but perhaps I just ordered the wrong thing there. I would definitely come to this one again. Only suggestion is that they paint the walls a more vibrant color (red? orange? mahogany?)

Steamed almond milk tea is absolutely to die for.... The top is soo frothy and creamy and sweet. A+. Plus, this is one of the few places in the Inner Sunset open until 1 AM. YAY

Finally tried the hot dogs here, on there $1 Mondays. It was really mediocre. I guess that's what hot dogs are...mediocre. I had the poppy seed bun, and it was warm, but I wish it were toastier on the outside. Chipotle chili sauce on top was flavorful. Well, I did get what I paid for... $1... and I would not pay anything more.

They have nice Moroccan mint tea (from a bag). Honestly, I find there is nothing really special about this place. I find the ambience to be rather sterile? And the service is not too warm. I like the feel of Iso Cafe better.

This place is really fun. Their pulled chicken is delicious, and the sauce (I got the spicy one) is yummy. I absolutely loved their big crispy hush puppies too. I have only had hush puppies here and in the UCLA dining hall, and these are much much better. Next time I go here, I'll order the pulled chicken and 10 sides of hush puppies. I also tried the mac & cheese (pretty good), the chili (just meh), and the french fries with blue cheese (delicious.. one fry fits right into your carotid artery.)

Truly terrible sandwich deli. We ordered sandwiches straight off the menu and the guy got the ingredients all wrong. How hard is it to make a sandwich when all the ingredients are listed directly on the menu? O_O  Worse, they think whole wheat is ciabatta...mind boggling. Good thing I got a lot of free cheese samples to make up for it.

1. The coconut custard nata is one of the best things I have ever eaten! It's better than the regular nata because it has a nice pile of coconut on top and also a bunch of squishy custard on top of the creme brulee custard.

2. The bakery itself is super cute and has a charming atmosphere. You should go here with someone who is also cute because then you can double the cute quotient. Actually, since the natas are so tiny and cute, you could eat cute food with a cute boy (or girl) in a cute bakery. CUTIE (custard) PIE!!

The ice cream was really icey and creamy. We tried the banana Heath bar and the cinnamon. I liked the flavor of the cinnamon a lot. Also, the cones are really tasty - caramel burnt sugar flavor. YUM! Only $2.50 each, too. We got locked in to the store since it was near closing time. I shouldn't have left... Just think! I could have been locked in an ice cream store. My dream come true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
