    Papadi Chat -- highly highly recommend
    Jillian D.

    We were disappointed to find that the restaurant is under new ownership, and sadly, the food just wasn't up to the standard we were used to. Unfortunately, we won't be returning. We ordered: * Papdi Chaat: Used to be a favorite, but now it's soggy and overwhelmed by raw onions and barely any chickpeas, and completely different flavor * Gobi Manchurian: Previously our go-to dish, but now over-breaded, though the flavor is still there. * Chicken Tikka Masala: Tasted off, as if it had a filler ingredient, with noticeably less chicken. * Rice: A bit dry like it had been made the day before * Garlic Naan: Thankfully, still delicious. * Mango Lassi: No longer tastes authentic, more like it came from a pre-made mix. I hate leaving reviews like this however, people work way too hard for their money to spend it on restaurants that cut corners. It's a shame, as we used to love this place.

    I was passing through Tracy and decided to eat Indian. Imperial Spice has multiple ceiling fans to keep you cool. The waiters were very attentive. I ordered pani puri, which is one of my favorite appetizers. The pani puri was crunchy, and delicious, and the presentation was excellent. The chai was refreshing. The chicken tikka masala was average. Not the best I've had. Something was lacking in the spice used.

    We came in on Sunday, April 30 on the way home to Modesto from Monterey to pick up food to go because it was Lunch time. First time coming here and we'll definitely be back! I was created by Sorab (sorry if spelled wrong) and he provided THE BEST customer service I have experienced from a desi establishment. While I waited for my order he filled me in on their large banquet area in the back and gave me a mini tour. He was informative and very cordial. The team cooking and preparing the food in the back were doing so with pride. They were all wearing gloves and I forgot to add that the weekend buffet was already on display. Mind you it was barely 12p. The restaurant bar has great potential. The owner wasn't on site but he should know that he has a very good team of staff. The food was packed with care and I thoroughly enjoyed every morsel of my dishes.

    This location used to be Dhaba (which we loved) and then after they closed, we would visit the other Dhaba location on Grant line. But I wondered what the next business would be here. We placed a phone order which was a bit of a challenge because I think perhaps the person on the other end had a hearing issue or something as hubby kept having to repeat himself but was incredibly patient with them. Upon entering, it was lunch time. The layout inside looks exactly how Dhaba did. Not much changed there. The guy who brought out our food was friendly and kind. Lunch buffet goes for $22. Seems a bit steep for lunch but perhaps would've been the better option considering we paid $50 for 2 adults for the following items and portions were small. Butter chicken (1/5) Chicken Tikka Masala (4/5) Saffron Rice (5/5) Garlic Naan (4/5) The Butter chicken missed the mark for us completely. The heat was there however: 1) It kid you not, it only had 6 SMALL pieces of chicken :( the size of a tater tot. The container was 99% sauce. 2) We've had many butter chickens in our life however the sauce was swimming in butter/oil, to the point where we could see the oil globs forming and wasn't appetizing at all. I feel we got punk'd with this dish. The chicken tikka came in the same container style as the butter chicken. This one had a better serving of chicken but not a lot either. The saffron rice was not included with the main dishes and the portion was small but was very delicious in flavor. The garlic naan was pretty good too. Overall I was disappointed with the portion sizes. Our Indian food order is usually 2 mains (1 must be butter chicken), rice, garlic naan, and samosas. We ALWAYS had leftovers for the next day for 2 adults. We did not have any leftovers with this place. I hope they take this and improve on the portions of their chicken.

    Described in English for my peeps : Black lentil soup, spicy mushroom cakes w/ arugula,  mango and fermented red onion, and garlic naan.

    The food AND the service were both on point. I'm a foodie who loves dining for good, fresh food l, accompanied by amazing service. Imperial Spice did not disappoint. I'm also quite happy to see a new Indian cuisine restaurant in a space that has historically served Indian food in Tracy. I will be back and I'm bringing a friend who also loves good food and good service.

    This is an upscale restaurant more like San Francisco type. If I could give more stars, I would. Everything here is delicious. My top number one was mango lassie. Never tasted anything like this before. This mango lassi has Malai dry fruits, and so many other things floating on the top. This was out of the world experience. Then I had bhel poori and chatt which was, very nice as well. Overall, this restaurant deserves five stars or even more. The service is excellent and every employee is very friendly and very efficient.

    My wife and I visited on a Thursday night and found the…read moreatmosphere to be quiet and relaxing. We were curious to try this spot since it replaced the Chinese restaurant, and we're so glad we did! Our server, Harpreet, was fantastic. She was very attentive and proactive, warning us that the chicken biryani has a kick. Since my wife prefers mild food and I like moderate heat, her guidance was much appreciated. We ordered the chicken biryani, garlic naan, and butter chicken-everything was delicious. The ambiance is clean, beautiful, and feels quite upscale. We can't wait to return and try more of the menu!

    My family and I went to this restaurant last night. After looking at Google reviews, it got great…read moreratings. However, the experience was kind of cringe. The white staff was pretty good and decent. I felt like they were very polite and nice to us. And I have no complaints about that exactly. For the food, I would have to say it was about average, but still tasty. But then there were some things that just didn't seem right. While we were eating, there was an young Asian man sitting in a corner observing things. And then when the table behind us got up, he was very forceful with the other weight staff to clean it up. It just didn't sit right with me. And him standing around and observing a small dining room room like it was some kind of cafeteria that he had to be like a ruler. I was not liking it. Then when it came to pay the bill, we were asked abnormal questions. Like do you want to pay cash because you won't have to pay taxes on your meal. Or a pushing us to register our phone number or email so that we can earn points. And then after we paid, they gave us some kind of Google ratings tab. And I said I would do it but reality I don't want to give a review on Google. I think they knew something was up with us. Not sure. And I did not like the digital menu. It was very distant uninviting, and it didn't really connect for me to buy more. We ordered the butter chicken and some other curry. They were both tasty meals. We do appreciate it. But I feel this restaurant needs a an evaluation on how it connects with its customers and how it can recommend food as well as present an experience that is pleasant and people can sit down and enjoy. Like I said, it was really weird when I started noticing some young Asian man who just seemed like he was trying to be like a manager. Didn't fit and it irritated me and I will never go back. I've been to other Indian restaurants and I've had great experiences. I hope they can make adjustments. But it just seemed like business was kind of shady and ruined my experience.

Manna Biryanizz came up and we were in the mood for some biryani and dosa :) We ordered a Chicken 65 biryani and a Mysore Masala Dosa to share. It was so good! I love chicken 65 and biryani separately but it's pretty awesome to have them together. Also, their spice level is no joke and it's perfect for us. The dosa was also super crispy, delicious, and was delicious. I was able to go in and order pretty easily. There's some indoor and outdoor seating; we sat outside since we were traveling with our dog. A lot of the food is bussed on your own but the folks were very kind about handing my food to me outside so we can enjoy. Also, def get some of their chai! There's little cups where you can try some but you can also buy to-go containers if you need some more. Looking forward to coming back when we're in the area!

It is a completely different story! I ordered the Veg Dum Biryani and it was easily the best I've had in a couple of years. In this area, I've found that most vegetarian Biryanis have become very bland and repetitive, but this had a truly unique and fresh taste. Two things really stood out: 1. The Spice Level: It was perfectly balanced--flavorful without being overwhelming. 2. The Ingredients: Unlike many other spots that are mostly rice, this Biryani actually had a generous amount of vegetables in it. If you've been disappointed by bland Biryani lately, give this place a try. It's a fresh, high-quality addition to the neighborhood. Highly recommended!
