At Udupi, the vegan South Indian thali typically includes a spread of dosas or idli alongside lentil-based sambar, vegetable curries, chutneys, and rice.[6] The restaurant emphasizes traditional South Indian flavors, and many of the dishes are naturally vegan when made with vegetable oils and coconut instead of ghee.[6] Eating a thali here gives you a range of textures from crisp dosa to brothy sambar and soft rice, with tangy, spicy, and coconut-rich notes across the plate. Vegan roundups of the Bay Area often highlight Udupi as a dependable option for plant-based South Indian food with a homestyle feel.[6]
