About Uttapam

Uttapam is a thick, soft pancake made from dosa batter, with toppings cooked into the top while it sizzles. It is a hearty breakfast in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.

Regional versions

Onion uttapam is the classic. Tomato, chili, mixed vegetable and podi uttapam are common, and some restaurants offer mini uttapams in different flavors on one plate.

What to order with it

Eat it with sambar and coconut chutney. It is filling, so one is usually enough with a filter coffee.

How this list is made

We started from public records, OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps, searched town by town for places those records miss, and read each restaurant's menu from its website or online ordering page. Places whose opening hours we could not confirm recently say so, and we check them again every month. Dishes marked "on the menu" come from the restaurant's own website or ordering page. "Usually served" is our best guess from the style of the place, so call ahead if you have your heart set on it.
