I know I have said this a zillion times, and you are probably getting sick of it, but we are blessed, blessed I tell you! to have so many darned Indian restaurants here.  In fact, Pittsburgh is more than blessed because we’ve got two kinds of Indian cuisine: North and South!  Most of the restaurants around here, and generally in America, specialize in Northern Indian food.  This is your meat/veggies-in-sauce-on-rice variety of Indian, including your vindaloos and curries, your dahl and also your grilled tandoori.  Southern Indian food is a whole different beast, with fabulous dosai, uthappam, and sometimes so many little side dishes that it almost rivals Korean.  And it’s absolutely delicious.  Udipi is one of the only Indian restaurants in the Pittsburgh area that focuses mainly on this cuisine, and boy do they do it well.  Strap on your seat belts everyone – we’re going for a mouth-watering ride to coast of India!
