Udupi Palace is located on Devon Ave. among a long strip of Indian restaurants and markets. It offers pure vegetarian cuisine. The decor is not so fancy; neither are the tables and chairs. Many customers are Indian and it was recommended to me by an Indian friend. We got my favorite palak paneer - cheese cubes in spicy spinach. We saw these huge crepes go by - like 2 feet long. I asked the waiter what they were. I barely understood a word he said, but he recommeded the huge crepe along with the palak paneer. We were stuffed and finshed off the meal with some masala tea. The service was laid back. I'd go back for the great food even if I cannot understand the waiters' recommendations - you can't ever go wrong with pure vegetarian!

The Udupi Palace is my favorite restaurant on Devon, which is Chicago's Little India. They specialize in South Indian Vegetarian food, and no meat is served in this restaurant. With the exception of butter, yogurt and milk, all items are vegan, and the chefs will gladly exclude dairy products from non-vegan items at your request. Every item on the menu, from appetizer to desert, is delicious. The meals here are very filling as well. Try the masala dosai, which is about two feet long and has a wonderful potato-onion stuffing and is served with fresh coconut chutney and sambar. South Indian food is much better than the North Indian, which is primarily available to Americans. While in Little India, experience the culture and stroll up and down the shops and cafes of Devon Ave.
