Star India Sweets & Catering — Restaurant in Lathrop

The food is amazing; not spicy like I expected it to be but still really flavorful. We ordered the chicken tikka masala which was great. The tandoori chicken was also very good - well seasoned and not dry. We ordered fish as well I forgot the name but it was juicy and also well-seasoned (personally not a huge fan of fish but this one was it).

Dessert we ordered mango ice cream and it was served in a cute goblet in cube shapes - very delicious. I ordered the rice pudding and I loved it - tasted like authentic homemade kheer.

The atmosphere was very nice and clean. Beautiful traditional art decorating the walls and they were playing some of my favorite Indian songs (instrumental versions). Great service - loved our waiter was super sweet and ensured that we liked our food and got everything we wanted.

Overall a great restaurant with great vibes and food. Would definitely recommend...

First time trying this place. Didn’t try much.

Tried the Samosa plate. It has 2 pieces in it. The filling has peas along with potatoes. I liked them. The crust and filling both were good.

Masala tea was the disappointment. It was not tea. It was white milk with barely any tea in it. I complained to the lady in the counter. But she said that’s how chai/tea is. Sorry that’s not how tea is, specially Indian tea. It was just boiled milk with a splash of color NOT tea.

We tried the milk cake as well. It was cold and hard but tasted good. I am sure once you leave it in room temperature it will be good.

The ambience of the place was nice and clean.

Special mention, they had a clean restroom which is very hard to find in Indian restaurants since no one pays attention to it. But these guys made sure it was clean and tidy.

I would like to try this place again but will...

This was so disappointing. I love jalebi and this is the only place I know of that sells it near me so I went ahead and placed an order. I bought a pound of jalebi at the counter. I had placed an online order as well. I ordered two orders of butter chicken and an order of chicken Tikka marsala only to get home and discover they don't give you any kind of rice to go with it. Luckily I had some I made at home but the food I ordered went cold waiting for my rice to cook. The jalebi was full of oil and a bit on the mushy side. Who doesn't serve rice with the curries and such? I will say, the chicken biriani was the best I've had in a while and the garlic...
