I went to this restaurant on Sunday, the tea was good and the quantity of chicken was acceptable. However, what they serve and charge for in the name naan bread is actually pita bread cooked a little extra. When I questioned the server about it, she ignored it then said will check with kitchen and then never came back. Service is super slow though they have 3-4 people walking around. The food lacked flavor. Additionally, there was a bad smell in the restaurant. Honestly, do not waste your time, money, and calories on this place not worth it at all!!! read more

I'm sharing this review because I genuinely hope the restaurant takes it seriously. It's disappointing when a restaurant becomes popular and starts behaving as though it no longer needs to earn or value its customers. Unfortunately, that has been my experience here. The service has become extremely slow, and it often feels like customers are expected to simply wait as long as necessary without much communication or consideration. I've tried giving feedback and writing reviews before, but it doesn't seem like those concerns are being seen or addressed. That's frustrating because I'm not writing this just to complain--I'm writing it because I think customers deserve to be treated with respect regardless of how busy or popular a restaurant becomes. Popularity should mean an even greater commitment to good service, not less. I hope the owners and management take customer feedback seriously before the attitude toward customers becomes part of the restaurant's reputation. I would encourage anyone considering visiting to keep the current level of service in mind and decide whether the experience is worth it. read more

I'm surprised I haven't helped India Cafe as it's our go to Indian restaurant in Manteca. The portions are good and the price is great, $40 for a non vegetarian combo for two for dinner is a great find. And unlike buffets where I overeat, instead I can enjoy my meal and company without feeling compelled to give something else a try - or is that just me? Plus there is plenty to take home leftovers. Between the Combo for 2 and the Thali for 1, I like the thali for one better as it comes with two small portions of curry and two pieces of grilled chicken. It was better when you could choose your curry options, but now the combo comes with butter chicken and tikka masala chicken. Their butter chicken is good but the Hubbs and I prefer their Khadali Chicken best. read more

Always a 10/10 everytime we come here. Came in on a Friday for lunch and was seated right away. We got the non veggie platter for the first time and it was worth it. Came with samosas, two curries, a lot of garlic naan, rice, and dessert. Food was 10/10 as always. Will for sure be ordering this from now on. read more

This is one of the best Indian restaurants I've been to. Food is out of this world! We tried vegetable samosas, tandoori chicken and lamb, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan and broccoli naan. All dishes were outstanding! Flavorful, piping hot and delicious all around! Quick service with a smile. The restaurant is small and was quite busy during the dinner service. I recommend calling ahead for larger parties. Thank you for a wonderful dinner! We will be back! read more

From the moment we walked in we were greeted and seated promptly. We felt treated like family. Customer service was amazing. This was my husband's first time eating Indian food. We ordered the vegetable pakora, vegetable samosa, butter chicken, garlic naans, and shrimp biryani. The food was all from scratch and very fresh. The flavors were amazing! Must try! My coworker had told me this was the best Indian food around so we had to try it and are glad we did. read more

The service was kind, the Indian food (with Punjabi influences) was the best I'd had in years. Everything was the perfect example of what this food should be.

I had a great experience at Indian Café in Manteca! I ordered the butter chicken with basmati rice, onion and garlic naan, and a yogurt lassi. Everything was delicious. 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 read more

One of best Indian food I've ever had. Also, portions are large and good prices. Big selection of naan and meats.

This is one of the restaurants which serves stale food with all ease. And it just not happened once or twice it has happened a multiple times with me. Every time I gave them a benefit of doubt blaming the weather or peak customer timing but recently I ordered in bulk for a function and the mic veg arrived stale. They said all food was prepared freshly and hot how come it was stale when served immediately. They also have a history of serving stale samosa by just refrying them again and again and you can tell by just looking at it. I generally don't write reviews but I am very upset as it is one of the closest restaurants in Manteca and they serve this kind of food and also if you reach out to them with any complains they would just deny. read more

Best chicken korma I've ever had. The rice was perfect. Service was just right. Makes me wished I lived in the area.

Hidden gem in Manteca! I was in town for business this week and did not have high expectations from a culinary standpoint. Shame on me for assuming. I got to my hotel and saw the Indian Cafe across the street and figured I would have to try it before I left town. Well shame on me for waiting until my last night to give this place a try. When I walked in the manager was at the front and could not have been more welcoming and pleasant. I took my seat and immediately was immersed in the decor and music of India. The smells alone were enough to make me salivate. I started with the Chicken Pakora and an ice cold Taj. When the chicken arrived and I took my first bite I couldn't believe how light and crispy the coating was. There was no oiliness, just a clean crunch with an amazing depth of flavor. The staff was ever present and ready to take care of whatever I needed. I felt like an honored guest. To be honest, I probably didn't need to get a full meal, but the food was so good I couldn't stop . I decided on the Lamb Rogan Josh with some garlic Naan for my dinner. I love the heat in my meal and ordered the spicy option. The lamb meat was tender and flavorful beyond my expectations and the garlic naan had the perfect crisp on the outside with a tender center that I couldn't stop eating. If you are like me and love good Indian food, I suggest you stop and give this place your business. The staff and management are top notch and the food is as good as any I have had. I look forward to my next trip up here so I can explore the other options this place has to offer. read more

Prices are so reasonable (compared to East bay) FOOD Complimentary papad like a thin wafer/ cracker. Banyan bhartha was so flavorful. Roasted eggplants with onions and peas. Shrimp tandoor hit the spot! You don't find shrimp often at Indian restaurants. Butter chicken wasn't decent. I've had better but still good. Naan was fine. Rice was also complimentary! OTHERS Mango lassis was actually good but the mango ice cream tasted like frozen mango purée, sorbet consistency. Overall, this is such a gem in Manteca, very modern vibe with Indian hip hop / Bollywood music?! Service was attentive as well. read more

A hidden gem in Manteca, just minutes from the Great Wolf Lodge. We dined here with four families after a fun-filled day at GWL, and we weren't disappointed! The food is freshly made, with authentic flavors, and offers great value for money. While we enjoyed everything we ordered, the mixed vegetable Paratha and Tandoori Fish were exceptional standouts. The only downside was the wait time--our food took quite a while to arrive, but I suppose that's the trade-off for freshly prepared dishes. Don't skip the desserts--the Malai Kulfi is outstanding. Special thanks to our server, Meher, who was incredibly patient and accommodating. We loved it so much that we returned for lunch the next day! We'll definitely be back. Keep up the great work, and please maintain the quality and prices! read more

Food is always Good, they should add more variety . All people working there are good

The food was very good! Seasonings were very rich and vivid, the thickness was proper, and and the meat was tender. The garlic naan was great quality, with the garlic offering a great complement when the naan is dipped in curry. For this of you who like it hot, ask for it extra, extra spicy! read more

Good service. Two people Thali is a good options where you can pick your own dishes. Whereas a single-person Thalia is a fixed menu

We ordered the goat bryani and butter chicken. Both were amazing. I asked how they prepare the goat because the flavor and texture were so much better than I expected and he wrote down the whole process for me. Wish we weren't from out of town so we could eat here more often. read more

Good food. Food was made with a balance of taste, spices and oils. Not too greasy. We ordered medium spice level. That was appropriate to my state of mind today, after a long hike Since we are ordering from here for the first time, we didn't want to make any changes. The default preparation turned out fine for us. Next time(you get it ?) we would customize more. Curries were tasty. Roties/Naans were well made and not loaded with butter. Overall I think the food was made with care. This time we did take out. The interiors were clean and well kept. Staff were friendly too. Oh yeah, last but not the least, prices were reasonable, which led us try different things. read more

This was my first time here and I can see why they have many good reviews. All the staff members here are very polite, friendly and considerate.
