Mr. Joseph Rodrigues
Founder
Mr. Joseph Rodrigues hails from a family in Karnataka’s Dakshina Kannada district. A visit to Kumaon as a tourist changed his life. Mr. Joseph has been interested in cooking from a young age. He noticed that South Indian eateries were either absent or minimal in Kumaon. In 1999, Mr. Joseph and his family moved to Haldwani, hoping to start a vegetarian South Indian restaurant.
Good Food: The Labour of Love 
The Origin
Udupiwala is a quest to bring the best of South Indian food to the North.
In India, Udupi, the name of a town in the southern state of Karnataka, is synonymous with South Indian vegetarian food. We combine the recipes and culinary skills of the region with commercial enterprise to spawn an industry of restaurants across India, typically serving food at affordable prices and have been doing so efficiently. Our eateries qualify to be the organized Indian version of fast food outlets as the food typically reaches your table within minutes of placing an order.
Udupiwala was born in Kathgodam, a town which is known as “Door of Kumaon”, in the State of “God's Land”, Uttarakhand.
