Tonight the Meet up group met at Udupi Cafe on Sunrise. There were about 9 of us tonight. This is a vegetarian Indian restaurant and very good. I've blogged about this place before so check out Catherine's blog for a more extensive review and pictures~MUNCHIE MUSINGS.
Sue and I ordered a lot of food ( more than anyone else) simply because we wanted to try so many different dishes. Most of it we shared with the rest of the table and brought home. Everything like I said was very tasty but I thought it needed more heat, it wasn't hot (spicy) enough for me. I did miss the meat, at least I would have liked some chicken but it is a very satisfying meal.
I had a good time, always do with this group of people, plus dinner was relatively inexpensive considering all we had.
I'd go back again.

We started off ordering the appetizer combo platter which to the best of my memory had a Vegetable Samosa, Battered and Fried Eggplant and Green Pepper, a Lentil donut, a crispy lentil cake with different dipping sauces. All were excellent. I ordered the Vegetable Briyani and the 
Masala Dosai. The Dosai was a huge crepe stuffed with potatoes and onions and spices, the Briyani was rice mixed with various vegetables and spices and had a yogurt sauce.

slow cooked eggplant, mashed and cooked with tomatoes, onions and spices, 
an okra dish 
prepared in a similar way and I think the big puffy bread was the Channa Batura, the bread puff with a Chick pea stew. There was also Partha which is bread stuffed with peas and one stuffed onions plus plain Chapathy. Tons of food for the 6 of us. We almost ran out of table space. Everything was delicious.

Everything was delicious.This was a winner.. Healthy Vegetarian is how they describe their food.. no one would every miss not having any meat.
I think this is one of the best Indian restaurants I've been to lately.
