"The Rose Latte is amazing. Bravo 👏🏾"
"Mocha is pretty good but tastes a little burnt, I am just a bit bummed because I paid for a large size and it's the same size as the regular matcha i got so, so that's a bit disappointing. The Matcha wasn't very creamy, I had to add more milk but it was non dairy so maybe that's why, the matcha does taste like quality matcha and I like that it's not extremely sweet"

"I order two of their Burritos and they were so delicious. Their asada was perfectly cooked, their tortilla was golden brown and the beans, cilantro and rice were made to perfection. We also bought two drinks one horchata and one Agua Fresca. The drink were a total hit too. Honestly one of the best places to order from. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We will definitely be ordering again."
"The pictures are very deceptive. It's just a plate of chunky crinkle fries so they should take the loaded part out. Stingy with the carne and toppings. The rolled tacos were stale and had barely any filling. Asked for green salsa and didn't get any salsa. Not sure how this place is #3 ... I'd recommend anywhere else but here. Even in store their customer service is horrible. I thought giving it another try through DoorDash would be better. It wasn't."

"I had the Country-Fried Steak Dinner with herbed corn and whole grain rice. I'd not had the rice before, but I will have it again. The rice is brown rice and quinoa. So good! The corn is, too. I also ordered the junior Build Your Own Jr. Grand Slam®. Perfect portions for an adult who doesn't have a large appetite. The appetizer Classic Sampler was good. One gripe: I asked for ranch, marinara, blue cheese, and steakhouse sauce for it, but got ranch, marinara, and ketchup. Disappointed because I love onion rings with blue cheese and wanted to try the steakhouse sauce. Oh well, another time! But the food was really good. "
"I was really surprised when I saw the Mashed & Gravy & Mac n Cheese & toast. The mashed potatoes were so thinned, the gravy might have been thicker or the same & it was a SMALL Serving! The Mac n Cheese was very tasty,yet again it was a very SMALL portion. The garlic cheese toast was cut in half like always, yet if you put the 2 halves together, it made the tiniest piece of bread. It was as if they didn't use regular bread anymore, instead they had special made loaves of bread, tiny edition. Maybe for a doll house. Now, the chicken fried steak was regular size as was the biscuits & gravy. But for $22.49 I felt like I got 1/2 of the meal. I love my Denny's, but this was the smallest portion size I've ever had from there & at the highest price, which is partially because of Door Dash."

"Butter chicken was off the chain, although spicier than expected, which wasn't a problem for me but probably too spicy for my toddler. Next time I will ask for less spicy. Saag Paneer was also very good. This is the best Indian food I've had in the Central Valley so far. Looking forward to ordering from Masala Express a lot more."

"Taste - This dish strikes the perfect balance between richness and subtlety. It is light enough that you can eat a full portion without feeling heavy. Portion - Perfect for one very hungry person with a large appetite, or comfortably satisfies one person with a bit of leftovers. Freshness - Aroma - You can tell it’s fresh the second you open the container. 100% Worth a Reorder: This is easily a dish you will find yourself craving week after week. The Kolkata Potato (Aloo): A massive standout—perfectly soft all the way through, having soaked up the rich meat stock and aromatics like a sponge. "
"Friends, this is your comfort food place. We ordered butter chicken, tandoori chicken, garlic naan, and samosas. 5 out of 5!! I want to back tomorrow! Everything was so fresh and it felt like I was in Auntie's kitchen. The chicken was hot and moist, the samosas cooked perfectly, and the naan had fresh garlic, fresh parsley.
