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

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

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. Huge spice and herb posters on walls shoutout what goodness is coming your way. https://www.foodbooking.com/ordering/restaurant/menu?restaurant_uid=85df49b0-5c64-4fdf-8a5f-dbcde607d7fc&return_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.indiancafemanteca.com%2F read more

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

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

Usually I don't review on food . But this time I really craving for papri chaat and I ordered it from Indian Cafe Manteca first they took so long to make it and when I got my order it's just papri and dahi nothing else this is what I am not expecting after long time wait . Never ordering from here again it was worst experience ever. read more

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

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

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

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

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

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

Food was ok but this place is filthy. Floor needs to be deep cleaned because it's so slippery that someone is going to fall. Bathroom is disgusting and you can tell they are not overall clean. There were onions and potatoes in the hallway next to the bathroom. This is not appealing when eating at a restaurant. Staff is friendly. 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

Please hire more professional staff. Food is good, but service is very very slow it took like more than an hour for the simple food. There were only 10-12 customers sitting in the restaurant. Imagine if your restaurant is packed then how long it will take for the food to be served. Ask waiters to write the order on the order taking pad. Should play nice and smooth instrumental music. People go to restaurant for the food not for the loud music. Tandoori items should come from tandoor not from the oven. I saw tandoori chicken was reheated and served. read more
