Customer favorites include the cauliflower "frito misto" appetizer and the "Sublime Picatta" main dish, a seitan cutlet in a lemon caper sauce, with braised spinach and mashed potatoes. Sublime also has a wide selection of speciality drinks. And save room for dessert! Closed Mondays.

The front of Udipi’s menu states, “No cruelty is involved in preparation of your superb meal.” We recommend the Potato Bonda appetizer, a delicious dumpling in chickpea batter. The South Indian Thali is also a good choice if you want to try a little bit of several dishes. But if you go, ask your waiter for his or her suggestions about what’s good that day.
