The Christmas Tree with a darling deer sitting at the front.
Katie M.

I realize the owners have changed hands yet again. This experience was alright, it could have been better. First of all, there were no other customers in the restaurant upon arrival. Host/waiter asked us to sit down where we would like. However, even though it was empty, it took him a good 15-20 minutes to bring us a menu once we sat down. The entrées were decent, however the Naan appeared to be store bought, not freshly made. We enjoyed our veggie samosas, orders of chicken tikka masala (medium and spicy), and rice. When it was time to pay, things became a little odd. We were using a credit card, and our waiter popped up front to tell us that they don't receive the tip if we leave it on the card, and instructed us to leave cash on the table. We almost always leave a cash tip for our servers anyway, but will choose to hand it to them, and not leave it on the table where it might "walk off" with someone else. So, I asked two different employees to ask our waiter to come up so I could give him his tip. He refused, even though they asked him multiple times. It was strange in my opinion. Below is a review I thought I had already posted from our previous experiences. This was my last review, it was unpublished: The last few times we went were a miss for us. The food is still wonderful, pretty much the best in the area (taste wise). However, we have not gone as often as we would like for several reasons. 1. They used to include the rice with an entrée if it was for dine in only. We realized that early on when we would dine and also have food to go. They charged us for the to-go rice. Now, they don't include rice at all, it is an extra charge. So, the price of the whole meal goes up. 2. The last few times they were very slow to bring the food. 3. When it was hot outside, they did not have the A/C on or if it was on it wasn't very cool inside.

Definitely must have new ownership. After getting food here for last years and it being amazing, this time is was awful and VERY BLAND with no flavor or spices at all. Butter Chicken was watery, could have been Soup and the White Rice was just that. Garlic Naan was decent however all pieces were burt. Time to go elsewhere. Any recommendations would be appreciated

I had the chance to stop by cupcake boutique..FINALLY! The ambiance is so cute! My 6 year old loved…read moreit and they host birthday parties and events. It's very clean which was also great. We arrived just as she was opening and setting out the cupcakes. We ordered red velvet, chocolate and birthday cake! LITERALLY HANDS DOWN THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The frosting was not too sweet and so light and fluffy. The cake? Super moist and just delicious. Everything tasted fresh and looked beautiful. I think this place will be a must once or twice a week haha my daughter and I, were extremely happy and will return.

This place sucks. I came here Wednesday and they closed before their listed time of 7 Pm. There…read morewere two other customers who turned around as well. Customers should be able to trust your hours but things happen maybe it was a one time thing. I came back thursday around 6 Pm and they only had two flavors left. I wanted to get some of the other flavors as well. But again I get it. Things sell out and they don't want to waste product. I told the girl I'll be back tomorrow cause I wanted other flavors. I came back Friday when they opened at 10 am and I asked the same girl if they had all the flavors. And she said they will in 30 mins and I don't get that. Why don't you just open later then? Why would I wait 30 extra minutes? Her response was so wack too she said we have some flavors? I mean I literally came back today cause I wanted to try the flavors that weren't available lmao? She wasn't apologetic or anything it was so annoying. My parents have owned businesses and it's important to support small businesses but I'm good off of businesses like this that you can't trust and have no accountability. I went to Smallcakes in Ripon instead and they had their cupcakes out at 10:30 Am when they opened as a business should. Will never come back here again. Update: the owner reached out to me indicating this is the first time a customer has asked for cupcakes to be displayed upon opening. I literally have no clue what they are talking about? So so strange and weird.... I asked if all the flavors are available and was told not for 30 minutes. Whatever you're saying now doesn't align with what was said then. Im not getting paid to communicate effectively, the employee is. Either way bakeries don't open and say "hey wait while we stock the shelves." What a weird way of running the business. If it takes 30 mins to stock open later then. Your business isn't one that's prepared and you don't want to take any accountability for that. If you closed early cause you sell out then announce it. I literally called your number on Wednesday to ask if you're supposed to be closed and the owner said no. So again you're saying something now that wasn't expressed earlier. It's easy to come up w excuses and stories after the fact. Regardless even IF you did sell out, then put it on social media and a sign on the business so ppl know. Why would customers want to drive this far w how expensive gas is to find out your business is closed? Most people work 9-5 PM. It's so shocking a business owner would just say "come earlier" to someone that wants to support their business. People work and can't make those times?? I tried supporting your business on three different occasions and this is your response. You take no accountability or even apologize for any inconvenience. If this is how you provide customer service, your business will never succeed. Good-luck.

I loved our weekend treats. They lasted a few days because we broke them apart and ate them like…read moredonut holes. They were still good when they were old and stale. Ube - not too sweet and so satisfying. My son said this was his favorite. Chocolate Salted Caramel Crunch - I think I need to eat more of these to think of the right word besides yummy Doughchii de Leche - heavenly Oreo Cookie Butter - okay, but my least favorite Strawberry Pebbles - my favorite! Took me back to childhood. I was watching TV when I took my first bite and forgot it had fruity pebbles! So I was taken by surprise by the delightful and crunchy fruitiness. It's missing the fifth star because the donut place near me is budget-friendlier and still the best in Modesto.

I'm a fan! Been here a few times already and this is the best Japanese donut shop in the area…read more Their shop is located right off the freeway exit, making it very convenient for people like me who don't like driving into town. I wished they were closer to Elk Grove because the mochi donut shops here are blah and chained and they do not compare to Doughchii Mochi. I love the variety of flavors they offer and they're freshly made. Their donuts are airy but balanced enough where you still have that mochi texture. It's not heavy and dense like other mochi donut places. All their flavors are bomb! The ube, circus animal, maple bacon, and cookie and cream are among my favorites but honestly, everything is good. Drinks are good too! The owner and staff are friendly, helpful, and provide great customer service every time. I highly recommend placing your order in advance though, because they sell out quick.

The restaurant was clean, offered lots of seating, and had great AC. Our Mediterranean bowl and…read moregyro bowl with falafels, in addition to a side salad and order of shaved beef/lamb, was delicious. We didn't try the other desserts but the baklava was fresh! The froyo and greek donuts were ordered by multiple patrons as we ate our meal in the dining area, so they must be yummy! The service was impeccable, which is impressive considering the manager, Eric, was singlehandedly taking indoor register orders and drive thru orders in English and Spanish, along with fulfilling door dash orders, bussing/cleaning, communicating with the kitchen professionally and patiently, accommodating for patrons' last minute requests/needs, and delivering food to tables. Eric deserves a raise, a medal, and a vacation. An all around great and affordable experience. Pro tips: Lots of inexpensive drink options in the attached gas station mini-mart that also offers bathrooms for Nick's customers.

Great staff. *Con: 2 out of 3 food items I ordered looked less than appetizing. Greek fries looked anemic. Spanakopita looked greasy and tired. Falafel Pita looked gorgeous! *Pro: despite some of the food not looking that great, the taste of everything was AMAZING!! Yummy, yummy, yummy! *Con: despite tasting wonderful, the falafel was spicy! Made my nose run a bit. I loved it but unless you like a bit of spice, I don't know if you would enjoy it... *Eh- baklava is neither a pro nor con. It's great if you're craving something really sweet... Overall, I'll come again, but only if I'm craving Greek food.
