I love Udippi Dosa House. I go there only for my Dosas and I certainly know all about being fixated on Dosas… being south Indian and all.

Dosa Hut in Collegeville is good but def not on par with UD.

I haven’t tried Devi yet in Exton, PA. Guess I found my plans for the weekend.

I would say that the last two times I went to UD it was a bit reduced from it’s former glory, although you make me want to try the Indo-Chinese night. I must here make a pitch for the only two other (much better) Southie food places in the region:
1. Devi in Exton PA. It is a huge hike but real South Indian vegetarian food lovers will head out there. You cannot get a bad meal there.
2. Brand new Dosa Hut in Collegeville, actually just past Conshohocken on Ridge Pike. AMAZING do not go for the atmosphere, but enjoy the real and crispy dosas.

hey guys,
before you sign off of the indian round-ups, you have to visit 2 places. First, I agree with other posters that New Dehli is one of my favorites and you must compare/contrast with it’s neighbor Tandoor India. Second, the new king is Tiffin on Girard. It’s out of the way and the dining room is small, but the food is definately worth it!

One last comment: Dim Sum Garden at 11th and Arch btwn wawa and the chinatown bus station has fantastic hard to find home-made items: dumplings, vegetable buns, soup dumplings, beef brisket noodle soup. These are all things that my mother and grandma used to make and they (dsg) do it well. All the pasta appears to be handmade. Let’s hear what you think about it!

Wow..I’m from Cincinnati and there is a similar restaurant called Udippi in an out-of-the-way strip mall in my hometown, serving South Indian dosas, ect. I try to make a trip everytime I go home. So glad to hear there is a similar spot near Philly!
