There are a half-dozen Indian restaurants on Orchard Lake Road between 12 Mile and 13 Mile roads, but only one that serves kosher foods, conforming to Jewish dietary laws. Udipi is a find for vegetarian Indian food lovers, even those who don’t keep kosher, with a menu that spans the cuisine of southern India.

Appetizers, entrées, rice specialties, curries and breads are all priced under $10. Namaste. And shalom.
