2. Shree Krishna Mumbai Bites
I've visited this shop multiple times because of its delicious taste and good hygiene. The most popular dish here is the Vada Pav, and I personally love their Masala Puri. What's impressive is that every dish is priced under ₹60, making it an affordable and satisfying option for a quick bite.
Signature Dishes to Try:
1. Vada Pav:
Mumbai’s most iconic snack perfectly spiced potato vada sandwiched between butter-toasted pav, served with fiery garlic chutney and fried green chili. One bite, and you’ll feel the streets of Mumbai in Udupi!
2. Sev Puri:
Crispy puris layered with potatoes, chutneys, onions, and a generous topping of sev. The balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors makes it a crowd favorite.
3. Dabeli:
A Kutchi-style stuffed pav loaded with spiced mashed potatoes, pomegranate, sev, and their special chutney mix sweet, spicy, and crunchy in every bite.
4. Sev puri:
Sev Puri is a crunchy and tangy snack where flat puris are topped with potatoes, chutneys, onions, and lots of sev. It’s sweet, spicy, and super yummy!
I still remember my first visit here I ordered the Vada Pav and was instantly transported back to the lanes of Dadar. The warmth of the freshly fried vada combined with the sharp kick of chutney was pure comfort food. The owner, with a bright smile, shared that he wanted to bring Mumbai’s street soul to Udupi, and honestly, he’s nailed it!

3. Lime Soda
A Refreshing Spot Near Krishna Math
Located outside the Krishna Math, this shop offers two types of refreshing sodas: lime soda and pudina soda. Despite the presence of many beverage shops in the area, this one was particularly crowded, which caught my attention.
I visited the shop and tried their lime soda, which was perfect for a sunny day. The shop stood out for its:
Better quality: The drink was refreshing and of good quality.
Generous quantity: The amount of drink served was satisfactory.
Hygiene: The use of plastic cups instead of glass cups showed their emphasis on hygiene.
If you ever visit Krishna Math, do try this shop's refreshing drinks. The crowd is a testament to its popularity, and the quality and hygiene are definitely worth experiencing.
4. Golgappa
Golgappa: A Popular Street Food
When it comes to street food, one dish that often comes to mind is golgappa. This popular snack is loved by everyone, regardless of age or gender. In Udupi alone, you can find over 50 golgappa shops, and this particular shop near the city bus stand is a great option.
Why This Shop Stands Out
The shop maintains a clean environment, which is essential for street food.
They use paper plates instead of plastic and steel, showing their commitment to sustainability.Golgappa is a cheap and delicious option compared to other street foods.
