Sad Lunch Buffet Offerings. The Absolute Worst Butter Chicken I Have Ever Eaten

D K.

We Have Been Here A Few Times Now. Today Was The Absolute Worst Lunch Buffet For Taste And Quality. The Butter Chicken Was Pale And Tasteless. What Happened To This Place. $40 For Inedible Two Lunch Buffet. This Is The Last Time For Us. We Will Drive To Walnut Creek Or Livermore Next Time.

We were disappointed to find that the restaurant is under new ownership, and sadly, the food just wasn't up to the standard we were used to. Unfortunately, we won't be returning. We ordered: * Papdi Chaat: Used to be a favorite, but now it's soggy and overwhelmed by raw onions and barely any chickpeas, and completely different flavor * Gobi Manchurian: Previously our go-to dish, but now over-breaded, though the flavor is still there. * Chicken Tikka Masala: Tasted off, as if it had a filler ingredient, with noticeably less chicken. * Rice: A bit dry like it had been made the day before * Garlic Naan: Thankfully, still delicious. * Mango Lassi: No longer tastes authentic, more like it came from a pre-made mix. I hate leaving reviews like this however, people work way too hard for their money to spend it on restaurants that cut corners. It's a shame, as we used to love this place.

I was passing through Tracy and decided to eat Indian. Imperial Spice has multiple ceiling fans to keep you cool. The waiters were very attentive. I ordered pani puri, which is one of my favorite appetizers. The pani puri was crunchy, and delicious, and the presentation was excellent. The chai was refreshing. The chicken tikka masala was average. Not the best I've had. Something was lacking in the spice used.

We came in on Sunday, April 30 on the way home to Modesto from Monterey to pick up food to go because it was Lunch time. First time coming here and we'll definitely be back! I was created by Sorab (sorry if spelled wrong) and he provided THE BEST customer service I have experienced from a desi establishment. While I waited for my order he filled me in on their large banquet area in the back and gave me a mini tour. He was informative and very cordial. The team cooking and preparing the food in the back were doing so with pride. They were all wearing gloves and I forgot to add that the weekend buffet was already on display. Mind you it was barely 12p. The restaurant bar has great potential. The owner wasn't on site but he should know that he has a very good team of staff. The food was packed with care and I thoroughly enjoyed every morsel of my dishes.

This location used to be Dhaba (which we loved) and then after they closed, we would visit the other Dhaba location on Grant line. But I wondered what the next business would be here. We placed a phone order which was a bit of a challenge because I think perhaps the person on the other end had a hearing issue or something as hubby kept having to repeat himself but was incredibly patient with them. Upon entering, it was lunch time. The layout inside looks exactly how Dhaba did. Not much changed there. The guy who brought out our food was friendly and kind. Lunch buffet goes for $22. Seems a bit steep for lunch but perhaps would've been the better option considering we paid $50 for 2 adults for the following items and portions were small. Butter chicken (1/5) Chicken Tikka Masala (4/5) Saffron Rice (5/5) Garlic Naan (4/5) The Butter chicken missed the mark for us completely. The heat was there however: 1) It kid you not, it only had 6 SMALL pieces of chicken :( the size of a tater tot. The container was 99% sauce. 2) We've had many butter chickens in our life however the sauce was swimming in butter/oil, to the point where we could see the oil globs forming and wasn't appetizing at all. I feel we got punk'd with this dish. The chicken tikka came in the same container style as the butter chicken. This one had a better serving of chicken but not a lot either. The saffron rice was not included with the main dishes and the portion was small but was very delicious in flavor. The garlic naan was pretty good too. Overall I was disappointed with the portion sizes. Our Indian food order is usually 2 mains (1 must be butter chicken), rice, garlic naan, and samosas. We ALWAYS had leftovers for the next day for 2 adults. We did not have any leftovers with this place. I hope they take this and improve on the portions of their chicken.

Described in English for my peeps : Black lentil soup, spicy mushroom cakes w/ arugula, mango and fermented red onion, and garlic naan.

The food AND the service were both on point. I'm a foodie who loves dining for good, fresh food l, accompanied by amazing service. Imperial Spice did not disappoint. I'm also quite happy to see a new Indian cuisine restaurant in a space that has historically served Indian food in Tracy. I will be back and I'm bringing a friend who also loves good food and good service.

This is an upscale restaurant more like San Francisco type. If I could give more stars, I would. Everything here is delicious. My top number one was mango lassie. Never tasted anything like this before. This mango lassi has Malai dry fruits, and so many other things floating on the top. This was out of the world experience. Then I had bhel poori and chatt which was, very nice as well. Overall, this restaurant deserves five stars or even more. The service is excellent and every employee is very friendly and very efficient.

Oh my goodness this place is fantastic! I never expected to see so many different items Most of them I'd never heard of. All the dishes looked delicious as were presented so nicely just like when the chef and everyone actually enjoy what they do. Very nice atmosphere clean and the staff do a great job. We totally love the best varieties they have more to offer than most Indian cuisines we have been to and we have been to several. We have gone to the buffets on Saturday and the buffet is always well maintained and so many choices that are delicious and a great place to eat. Im glad we decided to try Imperial Spice variety that's never boring. read more

Couldn't get it in my mouth fast enough! I'm not usually someone who takes to Indian food but let me tell you! Everything was such a burst of flavor in such a non overwhelming way that leaves you only to enjoy every bite. Mushroom Kabob is my new favorite 100% recommend. The Imperial Falooda was interesting to say the least. With the ice cream and dried fruit topping it was a good treat for after dinner. Will definitely be returning again ! read more

The Service was amazing and our waiter was very knowledgable about each dish. The restaurant was clean and table was neatly decorated. We ordered mango lassi, butter chicken, paneer tikka, shrimp masala and the corn tiki palak chat as an appetizer. The shrimp masala was the best dish of the night. Crispy and not over cooked with a great spicy sauce coating. The corn tiki palak chat was a tasty appetizer. The butter chicken and paneer tikka were alright. The mango lassi was good also. read more

Butter chicken, kadai chicken and one more chicken lol was really delicious; loved it. Garlic naan were so fresh. Gol gappe were good. Bhalle were warm; trust me they taste better cold and needed more masala. Gobi mancurian needed sweet and sour sauce added to it. Fried fish pakode, not on the menu, was really really good. We had to ask for these. My kids loved themmm. Tawa fish, under appetizers on the menu, I guess it was called, not so good, lack taste. Will return again just for those main chicken dishes and some naans. Server was very nice kind but didn't return for second round of water or to ask if we needed more naans. We had to hunt him down. Over all great experience. read more

Let me be honest. Their food is okay, it's not bad. I asked more than twice if they could make my food spicy, both times they denied, saying it was already medium spicy. The food came out mild at best. Which upset me but whatever. A lot of their curries were cream based, which upset me, but that is just personal preference, and not their fault. But what really tops it all was that when I placed an order over the phone, the server asked for my phone number and then proceeded to message me a couple days later on my phone number saying how pretty I was and that he had taken my number from my order. I honestly have never felt so harassed or disrespected in my life, am wondering what I am supposed to do about it. read more

This place needs some improvement. We went to support them during lunch but turned off by some factors. First, tables are too close for comfort, menu is very huge and heavy, and upon paying, the gentleman brought his little device to pay at the table. I need a printed receipt to see how much i got charged before i pay so it would've been nice if the receipt is left at the table like normal restaurants. Service was good. Food- we ordered butter chicken, naan, tikka chicken, chai and rice. Most indian restaurants we visit bring a side of rice to go with the butter chicken but here they didn't so we spent another $7 for a small portion of rice. Naan price was high also compared to other places. Disappointed that they didn't offer cholay batture which is what i normally like. Chai was served in a small cup. Will go back once they bring a buffet (at a reasonable price). Otherwise we won't be going back. read more

We ordered the chicken biryani, garlic naan, and butter chicken-everything was delicious. The ambiance is clean, beautiful, and feels quite upscale. We can't wait to return and try more of the menu!

Today, I go to pick my order up after 30 minites like the text told me and was told there was no order. I checked the Novatab (site they use) and the order is gone but my card had been charged. I tell the woman at the counter and she says, "maybe you placed it with Mountain House." I kept showing her my account where it says Himalayan Kitchen Tracy. She laughed then tells me, "oh it says minus here." I said, "yes, meaning you guys took the money from my account. The minus means it is taken from my account." Thankfully I was also sent a text message because the Novatab doesn't send you an email. I kept telling her I was charged and the order says it was placed but of course she kept calling me a liar saying that the order was from November. So I leave and call to speak to a manager because she said she had to wait for the manager to come at 5 pm. The "manager" then says they don't see the order but they see one from November and I keep telling him I showed the girl where the order was placed today and charged today. He then says don't worry he will get me my money back and I asked how if you guys keep saying you don't see the order. He then says he is going to talk to his electronics team. I told him when it fully goes through I'll dispute the charge and just not come back to them again. Very disappointing when I've been coming here for a while now. To be called a liar and my money be taken. I am posting the proof as well. Update: 01/09/2026 charge fully posted even though they swear the order never came through.

Manna Biryanizz came up and we were in the mood for some biryani and dosa :) We ordered a Chicken 65 biryani and a Mysore Masala Dosa to share. It was so good! I love chicken 65 and biryani separately but it's pretty awesome to have them together. Also, their spice level is no joke and it's perfect for us. The dosa was also super crispy, delicious, and was delicious. I was able to go in and order pretty easily. There's some indoor and outdoor seating; we sat outside since we were traveling with our dog. A lot of the food is bussed on your own but the folks were very kind about handing my food to me outside so we can enjoy. Also, def get some of their chai! There's little cups where you can try some but you can also buy to-go containers if you need some more. Looking forward to coming back when we're in the area!

It is a completely different story! I ordered the Veg Dum Biryani and it was easily the best I've had in a couple of years. In this area, I've found that most vegetarian Biryanis have become very bland and repetitive, but this had a truly unique and fresh taste. Two things really stood out: 1. The Spice Level: It was perfectly balanced--flavorful without being overwhelming. 2. The Ingredients: Unlike many other spots that are mostly rice, this Biryani actually had a generous amount of vegetables in it. If you've been disappointed by bland Biryani lately, give this place a try. It's a fresh, high-quality addition to the neighborhood. Highly recommended!

If it didn't that would have been another story. I have a love hate relationship with this restaurant because they make excellent food but struggle with service quality. That being said it's been more than 6 months since Ive ordered here from a previous experience that infuriated me. I used to go every other week. The owner reached out to make amends, but I ignored them and came back on my own after a very long break. History aside these are the facts from my experience today. Butter Chicken - Very well made, there was alot more chicken than normal in the container, flavor was as expected, texture was creamy with my preferred spice level Veggie Samosa - Very well made,as expected, well seasoned, well textured. Fried properly. Missing the mint sauce but thats forgiven. Tamarind is my favorite anyway. Garlic/Green Onion Naan - Honestly my first time trying it, happy to try it for less than the price of what it is on the menu. Very good, was still hot and fresh when I received it. Very good flavor that complimented the rest of the meal very well, thankfully. I would really like to see this business focus on order accuracy and attention to detail, quality of food is amazing when you get what you actually ask for.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the lunch buffet at this marvelous Indian restaurant, and I must say, it was a delightful journey for my taste buds! The food was simply excellent, leaving me with a deep sense of satisfaction and a desire to return for more. First and foremost, the freshness of the dishes was undeniable. Each bite burst with vibrant flavors and aromas that transported me straight to the heart of India. From the fragrant basmati rice to the perfectly spiced curries every dish seemed to be crafted with love and care. What truly touched my heart was the warm hospitality displayed by the owner. During our visit, my niece from New Hampshire was accompanying us, and the owner graciously surprised her with a refreshing mango lassi. It was a kind gesture that went above and beyond, and it made our dining experience all the more memorable. The mango lassi itself was a divine concoction of creamy goodness with the perfect balance of sweetness, and we all fell in love with it instantly. The lunch buffet offered an array of options, including vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, ensuring that there was something to cater to everyone's preferences. The flavors were authentic, and it was evident that the chefs took great pride in presenting a wide variety of dishes that showcased the diversity of Indian cuisine. The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting, with its tasteful decor, creating a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere for a leisurely lunch. The staff members were friendly and attentive, always ready to assist and answer any questions we had. All in all, my experience at this Indian restaurant was nothing short of exceptional. The food was outstanding, the freshness unparalleled, and the mango lassi was an absolute highlight. I would highly recommend the lunch buffet to anyone seeking a delightful culinary adventure in Indian cuisine. I am already eagerly planning my next visit, and I am confident that this restaurant will continue to impress with its authentic flavors and impeccable service. Thank you to the entire team for a memorable dining experience! read more

We were thoroughly impressed with our dining experience at this place. The food was not only tasty but also met our expectations in terms of quality and standard. If they continue to maintain this level of excellence, we will definitely consider making it our go-to spot for Indian cuisine. The Malai kebab, in particular, was absolutely delicious. We are thrilled to announce that there is finally an Indian Buffet in Tracy again, and this was our first time trying it out. So far, it has been an awesome experience. Our children, in particular, are overjoyed because they love having plenty of options, and this place certainly provides a wide variety of dishes to feast on. Even our picky daughter surprised us by enjoying three plates of food. Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed the diverse flavors and the opportunity to try out new dishes that I hadn't experienced before. Despite having been to many Indian restaurants in the past, this place stands out with its distinct flavor profile. Each bite was a delight, and I found myself relishing every morsel, especially when complemented by the delectable Naan bread. To round off the meal, I highly recommend indulging in their must-have tea and Gulab jammun. These treats will not only satiate your taste buds but also provide a perfect conclusion to the feast. Overall, our experience at this place was exceptional, and we look forward to returning in the future to savor more of their delightful offerings. read more

I had the pleasure to stop by at the new restaurant and man, was it a great choice the food was fresh, nice and hot, but most of all super yummy. The non-bread was so soft and fluffy & as for the butter chicken it was on point not too sweet and not too spicy just right. Will be going back real soon. I encourage everyone to stop by and get A taste it's a 10 out of 10 :) !! Also, great service everyone is super friendly and helpful. Always came around to check if we needed anything which was awesome. Vegetarian options Menu awesome they have a little bit of everything for everyone, vegetarian or vegan or meat lovers as well, so much options to choose from Kid-friendliness Super kind and friendly and helpful in a lot of friendly faces. It was a vibe. Parking Parking is super good No need to look for parking.

We tried Tandoori ( baked )Fish , matar paneer , daal with naan. & soft gulab jamun for our sweet tooth. Everything was amazing. Fish was smoky, daal & matar paneer were packed with flavors & naan was perfectly cooked. It was not super busy, so their service was pretty quick & staff was very friendly.. However they can improve the ambience of the place.I will surely recommend this place to everyone. read more

The service at this restaurant is truly excellent. The staff is attentive, friendly, and goes above and beyond to ensure a pleasant dining experience. However, while the appetizers were exceptional, the main courses fell a bit short. The flavors were good, but lacked the wow factor that the starters had. Nevertheless, the presentation of the dishes was beautiful, and the portion sizes were generous. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting, creating a lovely atmosphere for a meal. Overall, despite the slight disappointment with the main courses, the exceptional service and delicious appetizers make it worth a visit. read more

We ordered the Samosa Chat as an appetizer. For the Main Course we ordered the Chicken Dhansak, Lamb Vindaloo, with the Chicken Dhanbury Rice and Garlic Naan Bread. Everything Medium Spice. To start the Samosa Chat was excellent the crispiness with the Chutney sauce and Chick Peas was well blend. For both the Chicken Dhansak and Lamb Vindaloo, the meat was tender and mix of flavors. We also like the rice. We will definitely will try the Buffet on Saturday, to try different dishes, so we know what to order next time! Service was great, and the restaurant was nice and clean. read more
