Honestly fish curry was custom made with less spicy curry and less salty. No complaints about the taste. Service was good too. One suggestion is that the Aappam could be served on a parchment paper on top of the ceramic plate to avoid the Aappam sticking to the plate. I am not sure if this suggestion was ever given by other patrons too. Nice Ambiance and the location in the shopping complex is very convenient read more

Ordered Garlic Vegetarian Noodles with Szechuan style Sauce to go for my wife, she is pure Vegetarian. When I came home it was Noodles with Chicken I called and Spoke Mr Kalyan, instead of apologizing he was rude and said 'What you want me to do'. Very unprofessional, never going back this place. Please check your order before taking to home. read more

I was staying at an Airbnb here in Mountain House, and I love Indian food. So I decided to check this place out. I'm glad I did. The space was clean and bright, and everyone was friendly. The food is south Indian, which can be spicy. I don't have a problem with spicy up to a limit. They have a good sized menu. I started with the egg podimas, which is a scrambled egg dish. It was very good. Everything, I asked for medium spice, and that's what I got. It wasn't the kind of spice that slapped me across the face, it was a gentle spice, just enough that it made my forehead sweat a tiny bit. Just the right amount for me. The eggs were tender, and the dish was delicious. The portions were very generous. For my main course, I had the chicken biryani. Again, exactly the same type of gentle spice. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the rice was absolutely tender and delicious. The dish was a home run. My dishes came with three different sauces, I primarily stayed with the yogurt sauce. A nice cooling sauce that balanced the spice of the dish beautifully. For dessert, I had the gulab jamun, which I love. They were not overfried,, they were nice and tender, and the sauce was sweet, but not overly so. Absolutely delicious. The Meal ended with a nice. Chai tea, which was a perfect palate cleanser. Three courses and tea, with tax and tip, the price was very reasonable. Especially for the quality and quantity of the food that I got. Thank you for a great meal. . read more

I catered from Aaaddakai for a party at my house. He arrived and set up the stations 2 hours late. I myself had to help him set up while my 60+ guests were enjoying the Diwali celebration. He also came with only 1 person when I had specifically asked for 2 people to man Chaat and Dosa stations separately. Some of my guests started serving the Chaat lines, embarrassing. The food was great, however we had said no Sesame as we have people with allergies, or mark it clearly. He brought podi for dosa with sesame in it and was unmarked, one of our guests had an allergic reaction and left immediately. Others who were allergic fortunately ate other food because he was so late. After some phone complaints to send another server, the business owner came. I thought he would help with the service. He got a plate and started eating, possibly served by one of my guests. The owner walked around and counted my guests. We had a separate catering as well for the kids. He upcharged me on headcount after counting the kids and seeing there were more than the quoted number of people. I assume he counted himself as well in that count. While the food is great, I wish I could recommend the service. The business owner is just not motivated to be successful or treat customers well. He asked to be paid even more than originally quoted. I paid him because it was Diwali and wish him the best, but I'm not going back or recommending this business. read more

I usually takes a to go, but this time I tried dine in. Food is excellent. Had chicken fried rice ( indo Chinese), Masala Dosa and Kothu Porotta. Great ambience & very clean environment. The server (lady) was also very helpful. Will come back again. read more

This is the only sit down Indian restaurant in Mountain House/Lathrop/Manteca -- for that I have to give it atleast 4 stars! The restaurant was clean and service was quick! Regarding the food, most of the dishes lacked salt and spice. Additionally, they had plenty of curries however they had no naans, however the owner said this was temporary given the establishment is new and they didn't have a tandoor oven. Would love to go back once more once they're set up fully! read more

Soft opening - we ordered a few dishes to get a feel - baby corn Manchurian (3/5) , shrimp curry ( 3.5/5) , goat curry (3,5/5) and Appam's (4/5) . Soft opening only so feel that they make them better once things get in the flow. And next time we plan to there itself, rather than take out. Looking forward to our next visit and the in-restaurant dining experience! read more

Absolute disaster of an experience. After breakfast, the guy at the counter asked me to clean the table of trash. After I pointed out that there were other tables where nobody had removed the trash, and nowhere was it written that customers had to clean the table, and anyway, the trash bin wasn't even visible but secreted away in a corner near the restrooms, he became abusive and told me that he didn't want North Indian customers at the restaurant, specifically because my wife DID NOT KNOW HER POSITION AND TALKED BACK. Yes, my man, my wife is my equal. Deal with it. I am taking my business elsewhere, you misogynist. read more

It's really nice to have an Indian restaurant here in Mountain House. My family and I have been here a few times now to get some appetizers and they have been really good! The few times we've ordered, a few of the dishes have been pretty spicy but overall great flavor. We will continue coming here. I'm looking forward to ordering other items on their menu. read more

Excellent quality Dosas and great customer service. Good Price to portion ratio. Nice Ambience.

Pet friendly and family friendly. New place - we arrived at 6.30pm and was provided with the soft opening menu. In the same complex as Safeway in Mountain House. Food was well cooked and we enjoyed it. Could have been a bit more spicy. read more

I have been a big fan of this place from south bay and east bay. This is a new location for the Mountain house community. Ambiance is really good as the place is opened recently. Staff is very friendly, they took order immediately. Coming to the food I ordered the appetizers that I usually order, nethili fry, chicken 65, gobi 65 all of them are good but for some reason this restaurant adds less salt in all the appetizers. Appam and chicken chettinad curry combination is a must try. The curry is spicy and little sweet, appam is very soft and sweet as expected. I recommend to try their appam and curries. read more

Visited this place for lunch with friends and tried wide variety of food including appetizers and main course. Food was made to order, fresh, and flavorful. The quantity was right for the prices the staff was prompt, courteous, and professional in their service. The menu is the same to other branches. The seeraga sambha biriyani both mutton and nattu kozhi biriyani was great. The ambience was good and the place is clean. Give it a try and you will enjoy the South Indian delicacy and hospitality. read more

This place has the unique positioning of being a full on first restaurant in its own city but The food can be so much better. There is always an undertone of less quality. Would love to see an improvement there. Unlimited dosa Thursdays most often gets frustrating with slow speed and low quality dosa batter. The ambience is good and accommodates the crowd There is quite a lot of potential to improve. read more

Service was fine but food itself was not at all tasty, we ordered Chilli cauliflower, Dosa, and Paratha korma, all three items were tasteless...Not coming back and won't recommend read more

I live in Mountain House, frequently visit this place. Main reason to visit is, I liked friendly staff, I always walkout with great experience from here. One example is: we recently visited for breakfast menu on Saturday morning but my daughter wanted chicken unfortunately it wasn't available on menu. The staff heard this and able to get chicken soup which was ready that time as complimentary. This shows their flexibility and attitude towards customer. Always food is always tasty - my favorite food items here is gobi 65, friend rice, chicken lollipop, chicken friend rice, idiyapam with fish curry. Definitely recommend this place for good South Indian style food. read more

Love this from day one, I know many have different experiences but so far team is holding up really. Naresh is really good person and taking care well. Will support our local business. Only one suggestion is keep up quantity up to the mark so more people can be happy. read more

This place is WITHOUT A DOUBT the absolute worst south Indian food I have ever had in my life. Chicken Chettinad with no black pepper? Need I say more? It tastes like they went to Safeway and bought a bunch of frozen Indian dinners then came back to the restaraunt and microwaved them for all the customers. It is THAT BAD. Do yourself a huge favor and SKIP this place. Portions tiny Prices too high Not enough spices Service bad Hard pass read more

Nice family place to enjoy meal with family friends and coworkers. I tried their noodles and dosa, very yummy. Great place in MH

Very good food, good menu options and good service. Place is clean and staff is friendly.

Great food with great service. Ambience is great as well. Been here twice since they opened and both times experience was good. This is brand new restaurant, so everything is very tidy. They have a separate hand wash area outside of restroom which is great convenience. Hope they maintain good food,service, ambience and cleanliness. read more

Food has a standard taste across Appakadai. Less quantity compared to other shops. Only place we get fried rice near Tracy

This was our first visit after moving to mountain house and we never want to go here again. The food is okay with taste but all the chicken dishes come with bones. Also I ordered goad curry and it had nothing but bones. May be the one star I would give is for the taste but the customer service is terrible. The people working there kept staring and it was very uncomfortable. All in all for a such a big space they are doing a poor job. read more

Whole point of phone orders mean when you get there you pay and pick up. I called in and had to still wait just appetizers order for over 30 min. Not good. And service was bad they are not even sorry about it. They just handed me my order. Yet the order was incomplete. No chutney of any kind with 2 orders of my pakoras. What we supposed to eat this with and what you can tell guests. Even now guests won't come to your restaurant. Word of mouth is always best but when you can't even get orders correctly it's just doesn't make sense. You only get 1 star. read more

We came on 8/10 for Thursday lunch and we were satisfied. We ordered Paratha Curry Chicken, Dosa Masala, Paneer Appam, lolipop chicken and rose milk. The food is definitely 4 stars and up especially the dosa and appam. I didn't try rose milk but she likes it. Lolipop chicken was a bit under-seasoned, sprinkle some Himalayan pink salt would help. The superstar here is the giant dosa, it's huge and delicious! Service was excellent and attentive, the place is clean and accommodating so we will be back! read more

The food was delicious but i got chicken teka masala it had only 4 small pieces of chicken. And samosas were without chatni or any sauce.

Nice , very clean establishment. I had the butter chicken. A tad bit sweet for my taste but overall good. Just wish they used Basmati rice instead of other rice. It's a bit mushy. read more

I had this place for the first time over the weekend, and I was not impressed. To start off on Saturdays and Sundays, what is the whole point of having a 30 minute break after opening up after three hours? Personally it doesn't make sense to me.... I had ordered online and they should have been done by the time I got there, but they told me extra time was needed for my order to be ready (which took about 20 minutes). I also do DoorDash and that seems to be like the issue with this place as well. They are never ready on time. But to get to the actual review on the food overall, I just wasn't impressed. I ordered the raita and it was just extremely overdone with onion. The Samosa was not bad it was good. It just had too much onion. I also had the butter chicken, which was really good, just sad that they don't serve naan at all but it would've been perfectly paired with naan if they had it. I've had indigestion for a few days after eating this food not sure what it is but this is never happened after eating Indian food so be wary when eating here I do not think I will be coming back. There are other places in Tracy that are worth the money, time and quality. read more

The food was really bad. I got the curry leaf dosa and it was horrible. My friend got Masaladosa, and that was really bad too, the masala had no flavor. read more

Placed an order for pickup. Arrived at the time the order was supposed to be ready. When I got to the restaurant the employee said it would be ten more minutes for my order to be ready. I ended up waiting for 30 minutes. I ordered butter chicken and only got literally four small chunks of chicken for $15.00. Most disturbingly, I ordered tandoori chicken and it was RAW! My pregnant wife took a bite of the raw chicken, and that's how we found out that it was not cooked on the inside. Went back to the restaurant to get a full refund and they only wanted to give me back money for the RAW chicken. The guy said he was too busy to refund my money, so I will have to wait for a call for a refund, so hopefully that happens. Terrible food and service. I will definitely never come back. The health department should pay a visit to this place! read more

First couple of times the experience was great. Then the service quality deteriorated though the food was consistently good. I had to leave the place halfway because nobody would show up to check. We decided to leave when all attempts to get their attention failed. We paid at the counter and left. Not an experience I would like to repeat. I may go there again as this is one of the establishments in the neighborhood, hoping it's going to get better. read more

After the first time I had it I been wanting to go back . Went again and it hit the spot once again! I want to try other things so far butter chicken, mutton biryani witch is more like Palau that taste very home made. I have also had the roast mutton witch I found very good and my friend who is Japanese loved the fried rice and butter chicken . Garlic naan is good as well. Will be definitely going back. Can't wait read more

Good food and great service! Nice ambiance, just avoid peak hours! They started dosa nights , looking forward to it.
