A Tribute to Founder Sundar Shetty
According to the restaurant’s owner
Ravi Shetty, the prices which his father, the late Sundar Shetty, sold these when he established the hotel in 1962. Sundar Shetty moved into Mumbai from his hometown Udipi in Karnataka in 1947 and worked his way up in an Udipi hotel.
He had this burning ambition to float his own hotel and the rest, as they say, is history.
Udipi Vihar started attracting crowds in droves because of the quality of its items and the reasonable price. Now the hotel is going in for redevelopment and as a tribute to their father Ravi Shetty and his brothers offered the food items at 1962 rates.
Quality, Affordability and Legacy
Customers couldn’t believe their eyes when they heard about this offer and rushed to this hotel. With its corner location at a prime road junction, Udipi Vihar was a hit not only with locals but also those coming to the several nearby industrial estates
Like in most Udipi hotels, the food was tasty, reasonably priced and the service was uber fast. For a humble beginning, the family went on to open Sai Palace Group which has several hotels under its belt. Interestingly, even when Udipi Vihar is shut, Shetty has made arrangements for “parcel service” to sell its famous items to loyal customers.
