Udupi Palace, located at 1329 University Blvd East, Takoma Park, MD is really an absolutely delicious vegetarian Indian restaurant. It is appointed as many Indian restaurants are, yellow walls, some indian art, tables and chairs. It included a bakery full of indian desert delights like Burfee. We love several things about it - first - they serve Dosai (and Uthappam but we have yet to try those) and fabulous curries with large portions. Dosai is an enormous Indian crepe with fillings liked curried potatoes, onions and chillis. They are served with chutnets and yogurt sauces that allow you to customize your spice/cool levels as you prefer. We also had Paneer Makhni which is like a Paneer Tikka Masala, but maybe more tomato-ey and creamy? It had so much sauce that we used the suace on the Dosai and the rice. We also ordered a side of Mango chutney which was chunky and fresh to cut some of the spice in the dishes.
We love the Upupi Palace because the food is simply delicious and there is so much vegetarian variety - including Tofu Makhni, Chana Masala, Avail cocumnet based curry and even vegetable Jalfriezi! Dosais include butter masala dosia, mysore dosai (potato, onion and hot chutney), and special rava masala dosia (wheat and lentil crepes with onion, chilies, and grilled with potatoes). We can't wait to go back and try the Uthappam, or even a desert like Rasamalai (home made cottage cheese in a special confensed milk flavored with rose water and garnished with pistachio nuts) or carrot halwa.
Its a great alternative to DC's expensive, small portioned Indian restaurants and a fun chance to experience the lively Takoma Park/Langley Park border area full of shops and restaurants from all over the world [Panderias alongside Sari Palaces!).
Do you have any favorite places in Langley Park? or just outside the Northeastern limits of the city?
