Udipi Guest Hotel — Restaurant in Zone 8 Anna Nagar

This is a gem of a rustic Udupi hotel. It is preferable to walk to the hotel after finding a spot to park your vehicle at least some 200-500 m away. While walking towards it, you would not even guess that a high-rated hotel exists in that vicinity as the shops on either side of it look old and abandoned. When we reached the hotel and peeked in, it was so out-of-place to see the bustling crowd inside. There should be nearly 100 tables and all were full. And the surprising part was that there were no customers waiting. We found a spot and settled in and the waiter appeared in less than five minutes, took our order and our food got served in some 10 minutes. Typical south Indian breakfast items were hot, scrumptious and filling. Their service at the tables is prompt, so that really explains how beautifully they are juggling orders with a well-planned mechanism and hence not many customers require to wait either. I am sure the lunch options are equally good but have not tried them out yet but I would definitely give this place repeated visits for its old-place vibes...

I recently visited this restaurant and overall, the experience was not very satisfying. The food taste was just average – nothing that really stood out or felt worth the price. Compared to other places in the market, the pricing here is on the higher side. For two people, the bill came to over ₹700, which felt quite expensive considering the quality and portions.

The ambience of the place was also not impressive. It didn’t feel welcoming or comfortable, and the staff didn’t seem very responsive or attentive, which added to the disappointment. Good service usually makes a huge difference, but here it felt lacking.

Another inconvenience is that the restaurant doesn’t have proper car parking, which makes it difficult for customers who come by car.

Overall, I would say the experience was just average, with food that’s okay, higher-than-expected prices, and service/ambience that could definitely...

I just went before few days back to this hotel to buy some snacks since they have bajji/bonda of all sorts. Bought a set of bonda which contains 2 pieces. I thought it could be around 30, 35 Rs. But the bill was 63 rs for two pieces of bonda. That bonda if bought around in tea shop or even in snacks shop it hardly costs us 7 to 8 rupees given the quality, size and taste. There is nothing special in that bonda and tastes below when compared to roadside snack shops. I coudn't digest the fact that how can they charge like this for a bonda and imagine we have to spend our fortune to eat a meal in this hotel. The most shocking thing is that this hotel is located near to a hospital and imagine if a poor/middle class family went inside unaware of the prices, think of their situation. pro tip: Don't go to a restaurant that has pure vegetarian in its name, its a way to fool people to charge...
