What makes South Indian food at Udichi Apartment restaurants stand out in Howrah?
The restaurants near Udichi Apartment, 38 B, College Rd, Shalimar, Howrah, West Bengal 711103, India, earn their 4.3-star rating by serving crispy dosas, aromatic sambar, and filter coffee that stays true to Tamil Nadu and Karnataka recipes while using local Bengal produce for a fresher taste.
How do these restaurants maintain authenticity when they are so far from South India?
Chefs commute daily to Kolkata’s wholesale markets to source stone-ground idli rice, byadgi chillies, and fresh curry leaves, then follow family recipes passed down from grandmothers in Palakkad and Thanjavur, so every steamed idli tastes like it came from a Chennai tiffin center.
