The ambience was good and the place is clean. Give it a try and you will enjoy the South Indian delicacy and hospitality. ”
“ 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. . ”
“ 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. ”
“ 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! ”
“ 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. ”
“ 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! ”
