The butter chicken was rich and flavorful, the rice was perfectly cooked, and the naan was fresh and soft with great flavor. The yogurt lassi was refreshing and paired perfectly with the meal. The service was excellent--very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was also very clean and had a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere. On top of that, the prices were very affordable for the quality and portion sizes. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it if you're in the Manteca area and craving great Indian food

We were looking forward to visiting this restaurant since we had a really good experience over two…read moreyears ago. Service is much friendlier, but the food was a little hit or miss. Definitely a different chef from the last time. I would still recommend the butter chicken and saag paneer - solid dishes. Dishes I would be ok with- Pani Puri Mango Lassi - the version they have here is a bit on the thinner side than we're used to Lamb Biryani - The biryani is a little different than we're used to - some tomato in here? Assorted Naan - flavor was ok but they were on the soft side - might have needed some more time in the oven Basil Cream - garlic, basil, cream - this was tasty, but seemed like it was a bit out of place with the other food. Also, I wouldn't recommend the shrimp as they didn't hold up well in the sauce (tiny and a little overcooked) Dishes that weren't my favorite- Bollywood Wings - for a deep fried wing, these have no texture (like a microwaved wing). Flavor is pretty good - like a sweet and sour sauce. Achari Chicken - unfortunately, lots of issues with this dish. It presents nicely as chicken and veggies on a sizzling plate. However, they first start with fully cooked chicken breast which goes onto the hot plate. Maybe if it was parcooked or they used dark meat, it might have survived, but the chicken was bone dry. Other issue was the veggies at the bottom were completely burned and inedible. Overall, the restaurant is still a pretty interesting place to visit due to their abundance in decor. The food didn't hit the spot this time, but we'd be willing to try it again.

I hate to say it, but this was honestly the worst Indian food experience I've had--and being…read moreIndian, that says a lot. Our appetizer, pav bhaji, didn't even come out until after the meal. When it finally arrived, the bhaji was bizarre--it was a dry ball, almost like a pakora, instead of the moist, buttery potato dish it's supposed to be. The dal makhani was also dry and clearly seemed like it had been cooked days earlier and just reheated. The butter chicken was disappointing too; the pieces had almost as much cartilage as actual meat. Service was mediocre. After taking our order, the menus just sat on our table until we asked for them to be removed because we needed the space for our food. A water jug was dropped on the table for self-service even though the restaurant was nearly empty on a Sunday afternoon and there were two servers working. On top of that, the restaurant itself was very warm, which made eating hot Indian food really uncomfortable. We honestly couldn't wait to leave and didn't even bother taking our leftovers. With so many other good options in town, I wouldn't come back. From top to bottom, this place needs serious improvement.

Gobi, Manchurian was very well-made as well. As an avid Chinese and Indian food lover, it was a perfect combination of sweet spicy and salty. I would order this again. We also ordered the chai, which was wonderfully spiced however it was already sweetened. The mango last has a lot of creamy yogurt, and it was a great combination with the well spiced foods. The price was really great as well. And then how much a lady was very kind and gave us a free sample of her dessert.

Based on the reviews, I really wanted to love this place but found it to fall around average in…read morecomparison to other like establishments. We ordered the chicken tikka, samosa chaat and palak paneer. The samosa chaat was good and one I'd consider maybe ordering again, just not among the best I've had. Theirs is shared in more of a chip style pastry rather than the puff (not sure if that makes any difference flavor wise but something of note.) The palak paneer for me was underwhelming. The heat was nice but other than that, not likely a dish I'd order again due to lack of flavor. The strips of ginger were the only thing that really stood out flavor wise. My friend liked his tikka- particularly the heat it packed- but prefers other area options. Definitely a spot worth checking out on your own to be the judge. I'd go more 3.5 than 3 in terms of stars, but not quite 4.

Also, while waiting for our last dish, the cook came out to say they did not have it. HAVE AGAIN: The Tandoori chicken was 5-star good. Just the right mild spice. Delicious naan and mango lassi.

The staff doesn't come out and greet you, which can be jarring to most casual run-of-the-mill folk; you have to grab a menu and seat yourself like a grown adult. Be a man. You sit there in their spacious dining area alone and forgotten. Do I say something? Ring the bell perhaps? Do they know I'm here? These are questions that will run through the mind of the beta male. My girlfriend and I walk in there knowing what is expected of us. We grab our menus, choose our seats, and calmly wait for the staff because they know we're there. I order the butter chicken and Naan bread which fill me up and get me ready for the road. This place isn't meant for soft hands and their customers make that apparent. Truckers and folk right off the freeway come here to experience true, authentic indian food. Bring your wife here if you want to scare her, and bring your boy if you want to make him a man. Tandoori Grill doesn't disappoint; you'll walk out with hair on your knuckles and a satisfied family.

The noodles were soggy and overcooked, and the butter chicken was watery and lacked flavor. The pulao was even listed as biryani, which was misleading. None of the dishes really stood out.

Myself, not being of Indian descent, can't offer a true measure of Indian spicing value but the food was very good.

I will probably order extra sambar next time because it was THAT good. Perfect soul food. We are so happy to have an authentic South Indian restaurant so close to home! Staff was very helpful in navigating the menu and answering questions about the dishes. We were a large, excited and hungry party and felt we got our food pretty quickly. 100% coming back! I did not have a chance to take a picture of our food because we could not wait to dig in. Will take pictures next time :) Restaurant: clean, organized I liked being able to grab my water and also they have a sink near the seating area which was a convenient touch if you want to wash hands without having to go into the bathroom.
