    There food is good but service is still pretty slow, takes forever to bring out food. I've uploaded the new menu with price range which they should've done it for online orders.

    Garlic Naan Plain Rice Chicken Tikka Masala Chicken Tikka Masala Tandoori Roti

    I took the family to this restaurant and we loved it it's so tasty flavoreds are amazing

    60. Saag Paneer 74. Butter Chicken
    Cariss M.

    This was my first time dining here. Not sure if it was good enough to go back. There are other Indian restaurants in Turlock that I've had better experiences. The mango lassi was on the thinner side. (I've had some at places where it was thick like a milkshake.). It had decent flavor. Not too sweet. The garlic naan was the standout. Very flavorful and perfectly cooked. The butter chicken was just ok. It lacked flavor compared to others I've had. The saag paneer was bland bland bland! Even the cheese had no flavor. The green was vibrant and beautiful, but the flavor did not live up to the color. I wound NOT order this again. The rice was cooked perfectly. I tried some of my friend's momos. The dumplings were very good. The sauce they served with it was spicy but not too intense. It was served cold though and it was weird to me to dip hot dumplings in a cold sauce. She also got a dish that was very onion forward. It was probably the best dish we had as far as flavor. The service was practically non-existent. Waited quite a while between being given menus and water for them to take our order. It took about 20 minutes for our food and they brought everything at once (appetizers, sides, and main dishes). Last to arrive was my friend's chai tea which should have come with my beverage. And then after giving her the tea and asking if we needed anything at that moment- they never came back to our table. We had to go up to the counter to flag someone down and ask for to go boxes. Then, it finally became evident that you had to go up to the register to pay. We didn't know and sat there waiting for our check. It wasn't until we saw someone else from another table go up to pay that we went up ourselves. When I'm craving Indian food, I want depth of flavor and those amazing spices in the curries and sauces. This food just missed the mark. It want bad, but it left something to be desired.

    Reema S.

    The food and service were really good! We got take out so we had to wait around 25 minutes for our food. I got the mushroom tikka and chicken momos and my sister got the pav bhaji. This restaurant might be one of the few that serve Indian style momos in this area (aka dumplings)!

    The butter chicken was okay. Not as flavorful as the larger Indian restaurant in town. I also paid for cheese naan but received plain.

    This a review for their amazing buffet. For a reasonable cost of $12.99 (Tuesday-Friday from 11 AM-…read more3pm) you can try an endless amount of such delicious and flavorful array of dishes. They seem to have a daily rotation of dishes, which is nice. This affordable price is personally what keeps us coming back for more, especially with everything getting so expensive in this current economy. Ambience: The restaurant is quite large and can accommodate a lot of guests. Buffet: Everything is kept clean and they are constantly checking the dishes to see if they need to be refilled or swapped with a fresh batch. The butter chicken and fish pakora are also delicious. They also ask what naan you'd like and I always order the garlic one. Keep in mind it's a bit of a wait as they make it fresh to order. The bread is so soft, fluffy, and flavorful The staff are highly friendly and observant. They always ensure we have enough water and I really appreciate it. I can't wait to come here for the dinner service and try the other dishes they have to offer from their standard menu.

The restaurant is beautifully decorated so that you feel like you are in India. The menu is extensive so you have so many choices. I recommend the pakora and the chicken biranyi. You have your choice of mild, medium, and spicy so you can enjoy your meal without worrying about the heat level. The portions are large so you'll have some to take home. The waiter was wonderful and helpful. I know that I'll definitely be back. They also do take-out that you can order on their website. Highly recommended for Indian food lovers.

The butter chicken was the star: full of flavors, very mild heat, creamy and very fulfilling. I read the negative reviews on Yelp and can only say we were very happy with our whole meal and experience. Fresh Indian food is not fast food and if you frequent any of the local restaurants, you are already prepared for it to take a minute. We will definitely return and try other dishes as well.

I've never had a waiter answer a call mid way from ordering. I found it odd but after a while, it made sense. I think a bulk of their business comes from takeout orders since I was the only there dining in. No water refill even after giving eye contact (awkward) Now for the food. I ordered momos as an appetizer, garlic naan, chicken tikki masala w/rice and aloo golbi. The food was great. I loved that some of their non- veg dishes automatically come with rice rather to have order it separately. The moms were the only thing I found to be dreadful. Way too much cumin added and the sauces were questionable. It came with ketchup and ranch and I thought it came with some sort of Asian sauce like a sesame sauce or ginger chili. Other than that, would I dine in again? No. I would just stick to doing takeout. Price was reasonable too.

    I realize the owners have changed hands yet again. This experience was alright, it could have been…read morebetter. 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.

However, what sounded great on paper didn't quite translate in reality. We placed an order over the phone and saw that the truck was listed as being in Manteca, about a 25-minute drive from us. But when we arrived at the given address, the truck was nowhere to be found. A quick call revealed that they had actually moved to Modesto nearly three months ago--something that was not updated on Yelp. So, after an unexpected road trip across the Central Valley, we finally got our takeout. We ordered chole bhature and aloo tikki chaat. While the chole bhature had good flavor, the aloo tikki chaat was a huge letdown--it tasted like it was made with packaged hash browns rather than fresh aloo tikkis. On the bright side, the staff was kind, and the person at the counter generously offered a free mango lassi, which was much appreciated. I really wanted to love this place--the idea of Punjabi street food is exciting--but after this experience, I'm not sure if I'd make the trip again.
