    Onion Dosa and Masala  dosa

    Premise- Restaurant premise was decent. It was crowded when i was there , still found the dining area to be good Food- i had high expectations on the food since the items are primarily south Indian. Dosa was not upto the mark. It was 7/10. The most disappointing point was with the sambar and chutney. Like we expect coconut chutney to be served instead of peanut. Also, sambar didn't taste freshly made. Not where closer to mylapore restaurants taste. Needs improvement

    Irani chai

    We made a quick stop at this place for just tea. The Irani chai is just amazing!! I got a mini and I wished I got the regular size.

    Vada

    Tried ulavacharu today, excellent experience. Food was delicious, we ordered vada, masala dosa, onion samosas, irani chai and shahi tokray. Also got paratha and channa togo. Service was fast, friendly and efficient, the restaurant was clean and inviting. Definitely going back soon.

    Masala dosa
    Isabel F.

    My sister told me about this new South Indian restaurant that just opened in Lathrop. Was super excited to get this because we have nothing good in Lathrop. Visited there last evening with my sister. Food, ambiance, service and vibe all top notch. Owner was present himself and checking to make sure guests were well taken care of. Food was delicious! We tried the masala dosa, menu vada, onion samosas, Shahi tukda, and Iranian chai. Everything was great! The only thing that can be a bit better is the balahahi I got to go but not bad at all. Highly recommend to all looking to try a different cuisine and freshly prepared food served hot!!! Definitely my go to place now!

I'll comment on the taste in a bit but I want to first highlight something I've never experienced. In all my work-from-home years I've never once had to-go experience where the dishes looked like they'd been plated for table service at the restaurant. Sure some stuff shifted in the Dasher's car but it honestly blew me away. Even the drink was carefully wrapped and put in a little box to ensure it wouldn't leak everywhere. As for the important bit, the taste, man... I have had so many amazing Thai meals at places in the bay area and honestly just assumed the most Modesto would get is some great Banh Mi spots. Obviously I haven't had the chance to try the whole menu but my go-to, Tom Kha, this is the best Thai coconut soup I've ever had! The Pad Thai is as good if not better than what I've had in San Francisco as well. I'm really looking forward to bringing friends and family here to check it out in person! Side note... yes, it's also very expensive ordering via Doordash with their added fees but it's 2026 and it's California. So far my multiple orders have been well worth the price and I expect the same experience in person! (just, you know, without the extra Doordash fee nonsense)

My wife and I stopped in after our jog along the Tidewater Biketrail, making this our lunch pit stop after starting at Lathrop Road. The Char Siu Pork Bánh Mì is an easy 5/5. The baguette was fresh, crispy on the outside, and soft and chewy inside. The char siu pork was tender, juicy, and perfectly caramelized around the edges. Crisp pickled carrots and daikon, plenty of cilantro, and fresh jalapeños brought everything together. It's a well-balanced sandwich with a portion that's just right. The Grilled Chicken Roll'd deserves more attention. The grilled chicken reminded me of a flavorful chicken satay, and the peanut sauce complemented every bite without overpowering the fresh ingredients. If you're looking for a lighter, protein-packed option, this is it. They also offered complimentary strawberry and passion fruit refreshers. They were a little sweeter than my preference, but the flavors were refreshing. Next time, I'd order one at 50% sweetness. The restaurant is clean, inviting, and a welcome escape from the Central Valley heat. Service has always been friendly, and it's the kind of place where both the staff and regulars make you feel welcome. There's also a Tracy location, but I find myself coming back to the Manteca restaurant. It's smaller, more intimate, and has a charm all its own. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by. Great food, great people, and a relaxed atmosphere. I always say, good food brings out the best in people.

Given the multitude of licenses at stake in such enterprises, I wish to share my recent experience at this location. This morning, my husband and I visited, and we were somewhat disappointed with the quality of our orders. He ordered a vanilla latte with oat milk, while I ordered an oat milk latte with an extra shot of espresso at a temperature of 200 degrees. He also selected a ham, cheese, and egg croissant, and I opted for a bacon and cheese croissant. Regrettably, the items did not meet our expectations. The beverages lacked the desired strength; although the temperature was correct, I was informed after placing our order that they were out of oat milk and had to substitute it with almond milk. Given that we had already paid approximately $30, this was quite disappointing. Despite these concerns, we did not request a discount or refund, and we accepted the substitution that was communicated to us approximately 10 to 15 minutes after placing our order. On a positive note, the staff were very courteous, and the establishment was clean. However, I suspect that the items we ordered may not represent the best offerings on their menu. While the service was commendable, there was a notable wait involved. It would have been preferable to have been informed of the oat milk shortage prior to payment, as we might have chosen to leave at that point. Unfortunately, our dissatisfaction led us to seek alternative options, and we subsequently drove to Stockton to visit Peet's Coffee, where we consistently find lattes prepared to our liking. While we may not return to this location, I do not wish to portray it negatively. It is clear that the establishment has potential, yet our experience did not align with our expectations.

For example, I ordered the New York strip. It was cooked perfectly, but the quality of the beef was not great. My wife had the same comment about the Steak Frites, although she said her grilled shrimp were delicious. My kids loved it, which counts for a lot after a long day at the water park. My older son enjoyed his grilled Salmon, but I tasted a bite and would again rate it similarly to the beef. Prepared well, but I've had better fish before. The cornbread was super sweet. Way too sugary, could barely taste the corn. Our waitress was friendly and nice. She didn't know the difference between real and creamy horseradish. I had to remind her about the wine I ordered which was sitting in the bar window for a while. Try to get a table inside unless you want to eat withing earshot of a kids dance party in the evening.
