Star India - Chicken Biriyani - Indian Near Me - Lathrop, California

So the place truly deserves one star (or even less) for their service and ambiance. I unfortunately again thought of giving this place a chance and went in with the family for a weekend dinner. We went in at 8:30p and their closing time is 9:00p. The guy at the counter straight up said the kitchen closes at 9:40 and we cannot accommodate any more guests. I mean there were only 2 people in there having dinner before us. You guys are running a restaurant and we as guests bring you business. Apparently the staff is not serious about the business and are arrogant for no reason. And then we left and while driving away from the parking we saw a group of ladies with kids walked in and they had them sit in for dinning. I am more than sure now that this is not a place that deserves my business and time. As I said before, their food is decent and the main reason they are running is their prime location. Old review: So their food has mixed reviews, hitting or missing on odd occasions. I have had some good meals there and bad as well. That being said, I have had the worst experience while dealing with one of the ladies (in her 50s maybe) at the counter. As other reviewers have mentioned, she indeed is rude. I don't know if she's the owner or store manager, but she has that negative attitude towards selective people. She's very judgmental and treat people accordingly. This is not one time thing, I have had this experience 3-4 times. She would get annoyed if you ask her questions about the items they have and pricing. Today we asked her about the price for one of the sweets by pointing it out. Later when I asked her to pack some for me she started packing a different sweet and then she said that's what you asked for and the first thing we asked for is expensive. I mean for real lady?? First you need to learn manners since you are in customer service business, second you need to treat people equally. We don't owe you anything until we buy something, but you owe customers (all) a basic courtesy. I think I am done with this place, will take my business other emerging places. read more

Very disappointing experience. My husband and I ordered one buffet and one à la carte meal and very lightly shared the food between us which is very normal scenario. The staff pointed that very rudely and asked to pay for two buffets in addition to the à la carte order, which felt unfair and unreasonable. The staff also made statement about checking camera footage, which they should really check how less of food I ate from buffet. What made the situation worse was the rude and unprofessional way the staff spoke to us when we questioned the bill. Instead of explaining politely, they were disrespectful and made us feel uncomfortable. Good customer service and clear communication matter just as much as food quality. Unfortunately, this experience left a very negative impression, and we would not return to this place again and would not recommend this restaurant to visit as a family. Advise to the restaurant owner: In such scenarios, you must clearly tell people about your sharing policy at the time of ordering the food and not at the time of paying the bill which will save you and the customer this unpleasant experience. read more

I used to really like Star India Restaurant, but their service has gone downhill. I went there for lunch on a Saturday afternoon, and there were only a few customers. The restaurant was surprisingly empty for a Saturday. The guy at the counter on the restaurant side provided the worst customer service. We waited 45 minutes for our food, only to find out that he never even gave our order to the kitchen. The food quality was not that great either. I'm really disappointed with the overall experience. They seriously need to train their employees better. The employee didn't even apologize for the mistake. read more

This place is disgusting and it made me sick. Food was not fresh. There are many other options and this place should not be one of them. Anyone who gives this place five stars do not know good food. read more

Food was excellent. Service was excellent. Here night before Diwali celebration and interesting desert setup and lots of people coming in to purchase deserts for the celebration. I feel like it's someone's home and they're sharing their celebration with a stranger. Happy I came here vs Chinese restaurant next door I planned to go to. The crowds going in draw me to go in. Happy I did. Enjoy your celebration. read more

Came here for dinner for the 2nd time with my husband and the food was another amazing experience! Also came for their lunch buffet before and it was very good also. Definitely our new favorite Indian restaurant! read more

What a surprise! While on a business trip and staying at a hotel next door, I was craving tandoori chicken. It was delicious! Ordered the four piece dinner with a side of Naan. Chicken was flavorful and tender and naan was very good. The prices were very reasonable and the restaurant was clean and had great service. Highly recommend. read more

If I can give more than 5 stars, I will! The food is amazing! I enjoyed every single bite. Define flavor at its best! The ambience is clean and pretty. Customer service is also nice. But the main highlight really is the food! It's the best Indian food I have tasted! We will definitely be regulars in this place read more

My wife and I came here for dinner and it was the best Indian food we've had in a very long time. Place was very clean and staff was very friendly! Definitely recommend and will definitely be back! read more

Really good food. At first it seemed pretty basic, but if you wait until the naan comes out you will for sure eat until you drop. I'll be honest it takes a little while for the naan to come out, but it's worth the wait. I would request it right when you you get seated. The naan with butter chicken and some of the white sauce next to the cucumbers and onions was perfect. They give you an option to upgrade the butter naan to garlic naan too. Als very good. I will definitely come back. read more

Great service, waitress was nice and friendly and is very kind. The food was also very tasteful and perfect blends of flavors. The restaurant itself is new so everything is clean and high quality tables and chairs. Will definitely come again! read more

Food is awesome! I've been to this place multiple times tried different dishes a have never been disappointed. Highly recommend

They welcomed at the door. Great ambiance,food was fresh and tasty . Service was nice and the host checked on us multiple times

Plz stay away!!! I got a severe food poisoning. Basically went through hell with crazy stomach pain and non stop visits to restroom. It lasted four days and then I recovered. I've had their buffet and also bought some of their sweets. Milk cake, in particular, tasted highly unusual. Also, their okra masala meal was slimy (maybe that was the problem).Plz be aware before you make your choice. There's another review of a person that got sick. I was socked read more

AAA++++++++++++++++ Great food!! Great service!! Got my Indian Food fix here in Lathrop.

This is a small restaurant located in a plaza with shared parking lot so it can a little hard to find parking. Restaurant is clean and has various sweets displayed. It's an order first at the counter and self seating. We ordered samosas, Goat Curry, Butter Chicken, Tikka Chicken Masala and of course Naan. Food was delicious and very filling. Chicken Masala was full of flavor. My family and I will definitely return and try other dishes. read more

Excellent dishes - all of them. Authentic tastes. of India.! so far every dish we have had at this restaurant have been excellent.

Stopped in to place a to go order for a quick dinner. I've been here before to grab some small cakes and samosas which were very good. We ordered the Dal Tadka, Chicken Tikka Masala, Samosas, and Garlic Naan. We ended up waiting about 20 minutes for our food, and were quickly on our way home to relax and eat. The samosas tasted a bit different from the first time that we came, and were not as flavorful. The tamarind chutney and the green sauce were very good. The Dal Tadka and Chicken Tikka Masala were not very flavorful, and definitely lacked the spice that I expect when I order these dishes. The garlic naan was decent. The food was not bad, it was just unremarkable. If I'm craving some unique desserts I'd definitely stop here again, as the cakes were very good. Not sure that I would order their savory dishes again though based on my last visit. read more

Always missing something from my order. Second time in a row. Unfortunately, will not be ordering from here again.

Food is great. Little salty in yogurt and parantha but otherwise the food and service is good.

I have been having bad experiences the last few times I've been to this establishment. The girls working there just stand there, and ready to help the men who walk in but not women. Maybe it's a cultural thing waiting on men and ignoring women. Anyways after a few bad experiences I decided to give them one more shot yesterday. I wanted to dine in with my daughter and was told to go sit in the restaurant area. We did and waited there 20 mins or so no one came to help us and kept helping the men walking in. At last I had no choice but to get up and leave. I guess they didn't need my business. Never going there ever again and telling all my family and friends not to go. No respect for customers. The owner/manager really needs to look into this. read more

Ordered delivery from this place , the food is just ok nothing special. I had the butter chicken , Tiki masala chicken, rice with garlic naan, The garlic naan is just one piece of bread cut in half for $3. If you're craving Indian food, there's gotta be something better around than this place , it's just mediocre. read more

Great food and service. The dark windows outside hide the nice ambience inside. They have a bar and sweets stall also. read more

Great food and services. we order food all the time for the office and its always meet our expectations.

Good food at all taste was so good and good customer service by Rajni. ..................

Food quality is bad. Uncooked tandoori chicken. Not sure how they still are in business. Stay away.

I have ordered from this place few times and have dined in as well. Their food is good but customer service is horrible. Last time I ordered doordash and they missed my food. They made me drive there to take my food. I paid for door dash and extra tip, which was not worth it. Today, I went for dine in. There was literally no one there other than us. First of all they forgot to bring rice for our food. I had to keep waiting for someone to come. No one came to ask if needed anything. We needed water, no one came. We waited 10-15 mins for someone to come and ask for takeout boxes. No one came! No one came with bill either. I went to pay at the counter and told them the same. I told them because no one came to ask us or give us to-go boxes we had to leave our food. They said nothing. The server was at the counter and said nothing. They charge so much and no service at all. I wont recommend this place to anyone or go there agin. Instead try "Ulavachru Tiffins". They are great at service and good food. Get your moneys worth!!! read more

very good food, setup. Friendly staff. Good service. Nice to have sweets store at same place.

The food was great and service as well very nice new Indian food and the sauce was amazing. Give it 100% clean and very nice place to eat. Top Indian place. read more

Food, Service, Ambiance 10/10. The servers were very nice and welcoming. Very quick with food and any of our needs. Give this place a try!

We went to this place for the first time to get some Indian sweets for an occasion. I was there when they opened up so I expected some fresh Indian sweets. I was not happy that they gave me Jalebi's which must be sitting there for many days. Also the gulab jamun was stale as well. The other rest of the sweets it's hard to tell but the obvious ones after eating was Jalebi and Gulab jamun. read more

All the food here has been super yummy every time we've ordered. Take out orders are always ready pretty quickly and they call you to let you know your order is ready. They now have a buffet on weekdays with dishes that rotate out so you have to keep coming back to try them all :) Best Indian food in town. read more

The service, food, and ambiance were good. They have a small buffet. I just wish they had the classics like Tiki Masala, butter Chicken, and perhaps a lamb dish. Other than that the naan was freshly baked, and the food was pretty tasty. Although the vegetable pakora did leave a tingly sensation on my tongue and mouth which made me think MSG. Yes, definitely MSG on the fried stuff. read more

The employees don't have an ounce of smile on their faces. Unwelcoming! Food also sucked. I wouldn't go again it's a one time deal for me. The bhindi was dry and undercooked. Not happy with my purchase read more

I have been to Star India a few times now. Surprising for an Indian restaurant, I found it to be very clean and tidy. The service was excellent and, most importantly, the chaat and aloo paratha were great. Will definitely go back soon! read more

Ordered on Thanksgiving - food was delicious, good quality and ready quick! Their sweets counter also has a large selection to choose from.

Took my daughter there to purchase their sweets. There were two females working at the time. They were extremely rude to us. Then started speaking in their language. looking at us, and laughing. I thought this was so disrespectful and they provided such horrible customer service. I had thought about treating my daughter to eat at the restaurant but after being treated like this, decided not to. I noticed that the two female employees treated their nationality so kind and were helpful to them until it came to helping my daughter and I. Will never return back to this place of business. This is definitely not how people should be treated at a place of business. Apparently they are doing well financially that they don't need business from other people. read more

Food is fresh and delicious and quantity also good. Hidden gem in the location. Chat are must try read more

Clean place to dine in! Curry and butter chicken were lovely to add on with the garlic naan. Service was quick, food was served within 5 minutes. Pasteries and dessert were readily available and displayed. Curry and butter chicken servings good for 1-2 people in a silver petri dish. I find it pricy for $13 each. Drinks are from india and are in a can or bottle, as well as the water. Overall good experience! read more
