This place really hit the spot. Delicious food, friendly staff, and I love that they have a 1 or 2 person combo option so you can still have multiple dishes even without a lot of people to share with. read more

Indian Cafe - Non Veg Thali for 1 - Indian Near Me - Manteca, California

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

My colleague and I were driving east from the Bay Area, and I did not want to eat fast food for dinner, so I did some research for well-rated restaurants in Manteca that were open late. Indian Cafe Restaurant fit that bill; I called to confirm that it closed at 9:30 p.m. and was pleased to learn that closing time was actually 10 o'clock. It helped to have a little wiggle room since we didn't leave Oakland until well after 8. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. I ordered the Chicken Shahi Korma -- my favorite Indian dish. I often go with garlic naan, but I saw broccoli naan on the menu and was intrigued, so I gave it a try. The Korma was tasty, and I really enjoyed that it was warm. It came with a healthy portion of rice. I shouldn't have finished it all in one sitting, but it really hit the spot, and on that night, I indulged. I don't spend a lot of time in Manteca so it may be a while before I return, but I would definitely recommend Indian Cafe Restaurant. read more

Indian Cafe - Rice, Broccoli Naan, Chicken Shahi Korma - Indian Near Me - Manteca, California

Highly recommend this place, the service is very good, very friendly staff. The ambiance is very pleasant. The food is outstanding. 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

Indian Cafe Tandoori offers the city of Manteca the finest Indian cuisine around. The ambiance is casual and typical of your India decorated restaurants. Service was so friendly and accommodating.

Butter chicken Garlic Naan bread and regular Veggie combo Tandoori chicken Marsala Tikka chicken Mango lassi Everything was amazing I'll be back! read more

Indian Cafe in Manteca has delicious and authentic food. We eat at various Indian Restaurants all over California. We visited them for the first time on February 16, 2026. Not only was the food excellent but the service was welcoming and the food was competitively priced. The portion sizes were pleasing. The restaurant's atmosphere was superb! We plan to eat here again when we are in the area. We highly recommend Indian Cafe in Manteca! read more

This place is the definition of Panjabi Hospitality. The guys working here are incredible. They can think of what I need before I ask. Example: extra sweet sauce with bhel, onion and cucumber with sabji & actually complementary coffee when we asked for extra cup. I have not seen a better hospitality in last 10 years. Great ambiance, authentic food and authentic people. Highly recommend this place if you are going to Yosemite from Bay Area. read more

Everything was awesome. Food, service, spice levels, lassis and desserts were all A+ Special shout out to Navjot for efficient service with a smile. read more

This place is always busy. You can witness lots of customers placing large orders for catering. The entire restaurant was filled with family orientation conversations among the natives with the music of their culture playing in the background. The staff are all attentive and friendly. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. They have plenty of booth seating. The tables are preset with menus, pitchers of water with cups, plates, and utensils. The AC is on blast so bring a sweater with you. The aroma of the restaurant activated our salivary glands. The food here is good. We trust that this restaurant carries wholesome ingredients and seasons their dishes to palatable standards. The staff would often check on us to make sure we were set. The lentil chips were on the house along with the chicken with vegetable dish. Now let's get to the food! The appetizer, "Gobi Manchurian" is marinated cauliflower with flour coating sauteed with garlic, ginger, chili, and soy sauce is sooooooo good!!!! Wow, it's fire! And I don't mean the spicy levels because I asked for mild. The flavors were blended to perfection. The cauliflower was cooked just right, not over or undercooked. One of my favorite vegetable dishes by far. The appetizer, "Samosa Chaat (Indian Street Style)" is also super delicious. Although a bit messy, the flavors complemented each other. The yogurt adds a creamy texture and balances out the samosa. They just go so well together. The extra garbanzo beans are an added gem. Butter chicken....bomb, fire, omg goodness...I am running out of vocabulary. Although the food did take a tiny while to make, it was worth the wait. We are not complaining and are appreciative of this establishment. Everything we ordered is what I considered perfect. This is my go-to Indian cuisine in Manteca. Don't take my word for it. Try it for yourself and let us know what you think. Bon Appétit! Until next time. read more

The food was really good, I did have to wait about an hour for my lunch Thali plate, but it was worth the wait, They might have been short staffed that day so I'll give them a break. The food is served individually not in a tray like most places and the portions where hefty. The none veggie plate came with butter chicken, Tandory chicken and curry chicken along with plenty of rice and garlic naan. read more

We took some friends out to eat with us via the recommendation from other Indians in Modesto. The food was very good, hot, very fresh and served very quickly. Navi the waitress was very kind and sweet. She mentally noted our order without a pen and pad and remembered everything with perfection. Indian restaurants are not known for customer service. This is where they always fail, but it was very refreshing to see everybody in the restaurant, pay attention to our needs multiple times they came to our table to make sure if everything was OK if we needed more napkins more water. We will return read more

This place is amazing! My wife, 2 sons and myself think this is the best in town. And we have tried them all. We come here and have the waitress Navjot help us and she is very good and she can remember all 12 different things we order all at one time. Me, I love extra spicy so I order the chicken curry extra spicy and also the Kadahi Chicken extra spicy. Kadahi Chicken is already a spicy one but the way I order it, wow, it will make me sweat! My wife and kids love the Chicken Tikka Marsala, butter chicken and also big favorite is the Chili Chicken. For appetizers, we order out favorite which is vegetable pakora and Chicken Tikka boneless also sometimes order the chicken pakora. Also we love our garlic Naan, plain naan and also Roti. We usually order at least 4-5 different breads. All employees are wonderful and treat my family and I with so much respect! read more

The food and the service at this place was amazing. We stopped here on the way back from skiing and it did not disappoint. The wait staff was constantly doting on us. The strawberry lassi was so fresh it was nuts. I had lamb karahi (great!) but the standout was the tandoori salmon. Covered in spices, grilled to juicy perfection, I will have dreams about it. Also, portions are huge, you're taking leftovers home. And a great value. read more

Such a great find for lunch. Hubby and I are new to the area and have been in search for our go-to Indian restaurant and I think we've found the one! They're conveniently located in a shopping area with a ton of retail, so you can get a lot of errands done then reward yourself with a tasty meal. Hubby and I ended up ordering one vegetarian and one non-vegetarian thali. A thali is basically a whole meal complete with appetizer, side dishes, 2-3 mains, and a dessert. It's a small portion of each main, but it allows you to sample a few things on the menu if you can't decide what you want. I don't remember all the dishes we had, but notably we had their saag paneer, fish tikka, and butter chicken. All were very tasty with the right amount of heat. Even though one thali is supposed to be food for one person, we ended up taking some left overs home (but no complaints here!). I will definitely be back so I can try some of their other dishes on the menu. read more

Best Indian food we've had! Delicious dishes bursting with authentic flavors. The spices were perfectly balanced, and each bite was a treat. The butter chicken was rich and creamy, the naan soft and fluffy, and the other items were flavorful, with aromatic rice and tender meat. The service was warm and welcoming, making the entire dining experience even better. If you're craving genuine Indian cuisine, this is the place to be! Highly recommend! read more

I think they changed hands, and after a rocky start, they're really rocking. They've surpassed Dhaba now, and now one of our favorite places for Indian food. Their sister location in N Stockton is SPECTACULAR, btw. read more

Went after a long time bc I been disappointed many times with there tandoori chicken platters when they serve you the aluminum is always dirty. Its disgusting. Today after a long time we decided to try it again and ordered togo. The biryani was like Chinese rice completely sticky and no flavor. Butter chicken was extremely thick. I think chef is changed for sure. But no more for a very long time read more

First time trying this place and it was pretty good! You can order take out or dine in. You can sit whichever table is open. The table already has the plate, silverware, cups, water pitcher, and menus. You can order by scanning the QR code and pay online or you can order with the waiter. The QR code option was easy and didn't have to wait for the bill after. Food was good, we ordered the goat curry, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan and raita. They gave a free paneer curry since another customer ordered and a lot of left over from the pot in the kitchen, so that was a nice gesture. The waiter was nice enough to inform us that the rice is part of the meal (so free). There are 3 spice levels to choose from: mild, medium, spicy. Mild- not spicy Medium- a little kick Spicy- for me a little spicy Our favorite was the chicken tikka masala and garlic naan The pricing was decent, about $11.99-12.99 per entree. Service was great, the waiter was attentive and asked if we need anything a couple times while eating. Helped with any questions we had. I'll be back to try more entrees and appetizers! read more

One of the best Punjabi restaurants in the area. We went slightly off menu and ordered different Punjabi dishes. Kadhi pakora was really good. Also tried the Rasmalai for desserts and that didn't disappoint. Can't believe they also serve Tawa rotis. For folks who don't know - it's not a fancy bread like Garlic Naan etc - but what is cooked at home everyday. Didn't try goat meat. Will do that next time. It's much tastier than lamb in general and rare to find. Probably for next time. Overall very yummy food, very authentic and great service read more

Called for takeout as soon as they opened! It was so tempting not to order on DoorDash for convenience but I really wanted to support this restaurant and whatever was going to go to fees I wanted to tip directly to the restaurant. I'm really glad I did. I could just tell from my very little interactions (on the phone and pick up) that this was such an awesome business. I ordered paneer tikka masala, garlic naan and Brel puri for lunch today. With tip my total was around 22$. I asked for everything hot to medium spicy! The order took 20 minutes to pick up. The store was so clean and had masks and hand sanitizer upon entry. The food was delicious the spice level was perfect and I enjoyed everything. They even added a small salad which I loved. Can't wait to try more items! read more

Good chicken curry and garlic naan. Staff is nice, respectful, and courteous. Thank you

I took my family to this restaurant for the very first time because we used to order samosas many times from here, so I thought the food would be great too but it was totally opposite. Couldn't even finish a single dish. We ordered Chicken Chili, Kadahi Chicken, Fish Pakoda, and one more Chicken item. We just left everything on the table. I tried many days to not to put my reviews but it's must so they can work for the betterment. read more

This is a great place to get great food and great service! The people always have smile on their face and food is on the table promptly. Spice levels are perfect(we like it pretty spicy). Prices are reasonable and all the dishes are tasty. Only downside was on our 2nd visit there was a 10-12 year old kid kept coming over to our table to sell candy, and asking for tips and donations to every customer in the restaurant. We bought $20 candy to help him out but soon found out that he was a well trained con artist. Speaking with our server we found out that Management knew about it and still allowed this to go on in the restaurant. read more
