Guruprasad Udupi Restaurant — Restaurant in New Delhi

This is my most favorite,EVER, since the age of 10. I love the Thali out here.I was having a pretty bad day so far, until I realized that I’m in South Delhi and can definitely make my day by hopping on to my fav joint, which is situated in not-so-popular market & even lesser known by its name, in Delhi. While taking the steps to the joint , it just struck me that what’s the thing that links north Indians to south Indians, and indeed, the answer was right in front of me—–it’s south Indian food. We, North Indians are really fond of Idlis, Dosas, Uthapams and the like. In a city like Delhi, one can find southy food in every nook & corner, any street you name would have a southy eat corner. So, I wondered what is it that makes this restaurant so different from others and found that it is the Simplicity of this place. It’s aura, warmth, and most importantly, the food that makes it stand apart. I’ve been coming to this restaurant from past 22 years now, and believe me, there hasn’t been any bad thing about it, till date. The chefs have never failed to astonish me with their state-of-the-art culinary skills.

Their “South Indian Thali” is to die for. And if you wanna have Delhi’s best Avial, u can get it in Tuesday Dinner and Sunday Lunch. The subzis you would hate eating at home, would indulge you into Gluttony here. The moment you enter the premises, the fragrance of filter coffee, rasam, yummy food, fills your mouth & makes you impatient to the core. By the time order arrives, Appalams are the best way to satiate your senses. The place becomes a delectable joint, for the reason that even North Indian food is more than fantastic, the desi Chinese can beat any mainland joint. North Indian should not be disappointed as the place offers equally tasteful north Indian cuisine too, starting from Chaat items to lip smacking Chhole Bhature, to butter filled Dal makhni, to the most unthoughful dish, Shabnam curry and ending it with super delicious Kulfi Faluda.

Udupi to me what FREDDY’s is to Frank Underwood from the famous American web series House of Cards- just my Kinda place for best southy food. I tell you, y you shouldn’t give it a miss:

Few dishes are unlimited in quantity

Super tasty north Indian, Chinese options available

Prompt service

Simple place, exactly for non-pretentious peeps

Next time you’re close to the place, do try it!! Until then, Eat, travel, sleep Repeat!!!

South Indian cuisine includes the cuisines of the five southern states of India—Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Telangana—and the union territories of Lakshadweep, Pondicherry, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.There are typically vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes for all five states.

Coconut of Indian origin was brought to the Americas by Portuguese merchants. Black pepper is also native to the Malabar Coast of India, and the Malabar pepper is extensively cultivated there. During classical era, Phoenicians, Greeks, Egyptians, Romans, and Chinese were attracted by the spices including Cinnamon and Black pepper from the ancient port of Muziris in the southwestern coast of India.During Middle Ages prior to the Age of Discovery which began with the end of the 15th century CE, the kingdom of Calicut (Kozhikode) on Malabar Coast was the centre of Indian pepper exports to the Red Sea and Europe at this time with Egyptian and Arab traders being particularly active.
