Udupi Shivalli
Leicester, United Kingdom
The read// why locals go
Udupi Shivalli brings the coastal South Indian cooking of Udupi, in Karnataka, to a small vegetarian dining room on Welford Road. The kitchen works in one tradition rather than a long pan-Indian list: batters fermented for dosa and idli, sambar and coconut chutney made to go with them, and the rice-and-lentil dishes that define Udupi's temple-town cooking. It is a fully vegetarian menu, so there is no hedging or substitution — everything on it belongs there. Mains sit around fourteen pounds, ordered à la carte, and the room is quiet, plain and built for eating rather than lingering. A short walk south of the city centre, it is the kind of place Leicester eats at on an ordinary weeknight.
