Mother India Cuisine

Prasad Family a month ago

This was, without question, the worst restaurant experience I have ever had. My family and I usually dine at Masala Magic, but we decided to give Mother India a try. We arrived at 4:15 p.m. and sat waiting until 4:25 p.m. before we had to call the woman at the front counter over just to take our order. When I asked for her recommendation, she admitted she didn't even know the menu. We ordered the fish pakora and two mango lassis. Our appetizer finally arrived at 4:40 p.m., and we finished it by 5:00 p.m. We then waited until 5:15 p.m. for someone to come take our entrée order. No one ever came. We even had to walk to the front ourselves just to ask for glasses of water. Despite waiting another 25 minutes, no one checked on us, took our entrée order, or acknowledged that we were still there. At 5:40 p.m., after wasting nearly an hour and a half, we got up and left without ever being served dinner. We went to Masala Magic instead, where we actually received service. The biggest issues were: No server ever checked on our table. We had to flag someone down just to place our initial order, and she wasn't familiar with the menu. We were never given the opportunity to order our entrées an

We ordered vegetarian curries along with Tandoori roti and Lachedaar parantha. The food was hot and tasty. The Dal Makhani had authentic flavours. The service staff was also polite and courteous.

The food is super delicious and also very aromatic! I love Indian food and the culture so I tried this place out two years ago and it’s my go to do Indian food in Modesto. So good and comforting it will make your mouth water!

This is well worth visiting! Staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Food was flavorful. Prices were relatively good. There is also comfortable seating. Most of the basic Indian foods were on the Menu. They also made truly mild dishes upon request. (Someone in our group isn't very spice tolerant.) I'm not giving it 5 stars because, while some of the portions were generous, some were surprisingly small. (e.g. very small beverage glasses for chai masala and lassi and some condiments were like a half teaspoon on a platter) That being said, due to expecting smaller portions, we ordered plenty and left full with plenty of leftovers. I did ding this establishment's atmosphere for a couple reasons: 1) It didn't look completely decorated. Lots of bare walls. Not much to accent the place. 2) The restroom's linoleum is coming up and wrinkling and it was out of toilet paper. 3) There was no music, just a video of the text of the Guru and a voice reading it. 4) There were trays of food prepped and sitting on tables waiting to be picked up or delivered. These are all subjective and culturally based. While there is plenty of seating, it feels like the majority of business is likely take

The food was sub par, not your typical indian flavours were present. We had Butter chicken, which lacked all the flavours you could think of and same went for the Pani puri, not youe typical indian style, more modernized, garlic Naan was overwhelmed with garlic to a point, all you could taste was garlic, but the best was for the last. The Bhindi masla and Lamb skeesh kabab saved the day. They do carry a variety of indian sweets too. I dont know if we would be going again, might be a hard pass on this place.... but to some extent some dishes were great.
