She is doing us all a nice service, so please be on time and SHOW UP if you RSVP'd 'YES" within 24 hours before the dinner time.

Oct 7 7:00 PM	UDUPI BHAVIN 10/7/09 7:00 - WEDNESDAY 19 attended (est.) – 4.508 Udupi Bhavin (don't ask me how to spell or pronounce it!) 10/7/09 at 7:00pm is sure to delight your taste buds without spending a lot. Reviewers say "Udupi is the best all-vegetarian restaurant in the area. A warning - it is no frills. Paper plates, plastic utensils, no art on the wall, cheap-o tables and chairs, cafeteria style - but the best damn food you will ever eat" and "The staff is hilarious and helpful with the intimidating menu. Try the Samosa Chaat, Batura is amazing, Mango Lassis - another yes. I've also had bisi bele bhath (??name??), it's a rice and lentil dish with vegetables, and the dosas are great. You really can't go wrong. Bring $20 and eat like a queen!" Plenty of parking. No alcohol served, but you are invited to bring your own. I will collect $1.00 from attendees to defray costs of running this group. PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE AND SHOW UP IF YOU R.S.V.P. "YES"!! Website: http://www.ctudupi.com/Default.aspx Since this is cafeteria style - pay at the counter when you order, you may arrive anytime between 6:30 to 7:30, I plan to be there at 7:00pm. I am putting a limit of 20 people, but if you end up on a wait list - come join us anyway. The manager said he would make room. The more the merrier! - Betsy	Udupi Bhavan Middletown, CT, 06457 41.537141,-72.616722	19 Yes 0 Maybe 3 Waiting List
