Decent theater for watching indian movies. Rustic theater feel. Very empty on weekdays so you can watch movie peacefully. Very basic snacks and restroom facilities. Enough leg room but seat may not be comfortable for large folks. Not comparable to other multiplex but decent.

3 and half stars. Good selection of Indian movies, especially after first week. Not super busy, decent seats and screens. Food options are adequate as well. Through Indian fare.

This place is not good as expected to USA standard theatre. We took coke i never seen such type of low quality coke, the coke was diluted with tap water that we could really cant even have a sip. Never recommend this theater even if the ticket price is less.

Bedbugs to spiderwebs. Go at your own risk to save few $s over the well maintained Freemont or Unioncity desi movie playing theaters

These theaters play only movies from South India - mostly Telugu. Have been to this place a few times now. It was never crowded during my visits. There are only two screens. Sound system is mostly on the loud side, but bearable. On cleanliness, I would say that it does appear to be cleaned between shows. Restrooms are a bit on stinky side. On snacks, there arent many options. I liked coffee here - has a bit of the flavor of South India. Overall it is passable for a 2 hour movie outing.

Good theater but with very congested seating and with very little leg space. Movie video and audio qualities are good. Moderately priced so to reach all types of viewrs without burdening much to their pockets. Reasonably good.

Really bad experience. Too stinky you can not even sit for 10 minutes.

Sorry to say this management really horrible experience, feeling like sitting in a dumpster. Please maintain the theatre

You will def feel like you are in India that too watching in old Indian movie theater. But if you really want to experience the movie, I suggest you not to go here.Here you will find tea, samosa which is awesome. Looked for onion samosa but was not available.

Sure no luxury sofas and fragrance of pop corn around. But just good enough to watch a movie and walk out. Other reviews look awful, i guess expectation mismatch!

They have shutdown the theater last night without playing a scheduled show. They dont even answer calls regarding show timings and sudden shutdowns

Good sound but average seat with mildew

Worst theater in Bay Area. It’s very dirty and stinky. I would never make a visit there.

Nice homely feel. But biased because Im indian. Well other people who visit are also indian but still though their service may not be top notch. My family and I keep coming here for every indian movie. Something about this place....

Disaster theatreUnhygienic, dirty, worst. I was shocked to see that such worse theatres are still there in a country like USA.I watched Lakshmi’s NTR. Very good movie. Please do watch it, but not in this theater.In interval I came out to buy some snacks, but there is only one person there and that person is sleeping.Worst theater.

Good to watch desi Telugu movies

Worst theater I have ever set foot in.

Sound quality poor. Seats are not comfortable. Snacks available are ok. On top of this, $14-16 a ticket is way too expensive. The only thing for which I am giving stars is for friendly and cooperative staff. I recommend this this theater as last option

Smelly seats :( Horrible smell and cold seats.

A place to watch all Indian movies but seats are not comfortable.

Awesome sound system, seats and atmosphere is ok

Theater could do better with temperature control during summer. Place always feels hot inside. For some reason they like to cram people into few rows by assigning numbers. Opening seating should have been the default option.

Disclaimer: This theatre might be closed sometimes and they dont even answer the call to confirm if the show is going to be there or not.

Hardwork and dedication

I would rather give a negative star. f***ing place is closed. Came all the way from Pacifica to watch a movie. They selling tickets online for the show.

It is like one of the retro theaters in early days. Can be visited for a mass movie . :-)

Bad ambience.. The entire place stinks

Only reason you go here is, if you didnt find the movie anywhere else. Very poorly maintained.

Release new Bengali movies. Nostalgic.

I was bored so I have it a five star

Good to see regional cinemas

Went here with my girlfriend and watched 7 movies at the price of 2 tickets. 5/5 will go again on Valentines Day or Date Night

The place has a true Indian feel to it. You will literally fell like you are in a normal touring talkies theater.

Indian movies mostly south(telugu). Even theater gives us an old indian theater feel.

We love this theatre. It has a small glass opening on the door which makes it very convenient to watch movie while standing outside with kids

Book here if its the only theatre that the movie has released in. The seating is horrible and the sound isnt Dolby surround. The overall experience would be you projecting a movie in your basement. Avoid if you can.NEEDS RENOVATION

Decent place for Indian movies. No frills.

Not too good not too bad, if you don’t have any choice then choose it. Just Bare 3hrs for show time.

Good place for nice Indian movies. The sound system can be even better. Sound system in one of the movie was horrible. Probably one track was compeletely down.

Pretty shabby!...we walked in and were greeted by a heady mix of strong smell of fried coconut oil and musty mold. Go just for the movie and not any special experience !

This is an old, old, old place. Hasnt been upgraded since god knows when. There is a stench in the air there. On the plus side, the screens are big and the acoustics are great. But the stench...Ugh!

Reminded me of theaters I used to go to in India in small towns ! I think most towns back in India have better theaters now !

The theater is so worse, the sound system is very odd.

Would not rate this on par with AMC or Century cinemas. But considering that they screen Indian movies only, they are pretty decent. Right off the freeway

Please improve seating. But for the price it is given not to have much expectations

Small theater with tasty snacks

They have 3 screens and play Indian movies -- Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, etcThey sell coffee, tea, popcorn, samosa, bhel puri, etc for consumption during movie halftimeEasy location, good amount of parking and many nearby Indian and other restaurants and shopping centers

Average theater and seating capacity.

This place can be made much nicer with thoughtful upgrades

Still good

Nice place, affordable. Great for Indian movies of various languages - mostly southern Indian languages.

Love it for Marathi movies.. theatre is old but indian movies are played so doesnt matter

Strictly okay place to watch some hard-to-find South Indian movies. Not well maintained, and movies dont start on time. Maintenance is poor too!If you want to catch a Bollywood movie, go to AMC or Century instead. If you are looking for a South Indian movie - and it doesnt play elsewhere, I guess you dont have any other choice :-)

Decent theatre for Telugu and some regional movies.

Not a great place to watch a movie but its your best choice to find a Indian movie screening!

Worst, not worthy for 14$ price. Seats were horrible. Ambience is worst to the core. I recommend not to visit this Theater at any time.

I liked this place because it has basic movies; it had Bahubali 2, although Im not sure if it will have other major Indian movies. It has many advantages over major theatres, such as here there are a lot of empty seats and it has an interval in movies. BEST OF ALL, THE PRICING HERE IS LESS THAN IN AMC (for the same movie). I would recommend this place to people who watch indian movies

Terrible theater. Not worth the $13 I paid for the theater experience.

This theater makes us feel like we are in Andhra Pradesh. Theater has good snacks options during the interval break. Seating is not to the expectation when compared to Century/AMC.

Always dark and no good ambience. But nice for Indian movies and restaurants around.

Nice seats to watch regional movies.

The Worst Theater ever seen in my life. The how was cancelled but it has been 1 month,till now i not received the money back.THE WASTE THEATER award goes to this theater. Please dont go to this theater. Its better to watch movies in you tube.-100 points......

The seats are not comfortable.The theatre has a old world feel to it. The theatre needs to be upgraded and maintained clean.

Seats here are of same height and if some tall person sits in front we cant see the movie properly . Sound system and AC are of good quality.

Nice place. For movies..

As many pointed, this Theatre interiors are similar to old theaters in South Indian villages/towns. Snacks not so great but staff are good.

Recently went here to watch Ninu Corie..good place to be here on a big opening day for any famous or much awaited telegu movie.. it reminds me of old theaters in India.. apart from that its a decent theater..dont compare with big theaters..

Its an ok place. Good for Indian movies. Price is good. Ambeince is ok.

Seating is not comfortable. The good thing about this place is that south indian movies gets played here.

OK theater, not cosy multiplex. But they do release most of the South Indian and Bengali movies.

Good for the South Indian moviesFelt like our own Indian theaters in India

Good to watch Indian movies of all kinds.

Ok theater not comparable to AMC IR Cinemark

Good for Desi movies, interoir can improved.

Watch Indian regional movies.

Just too loud. not worth paying $15 bucks for the ticket. looks shady and dirty

Crappy seats and smelly place, since tollywood and bollywood movies wont be released else where. This place ends up the place to go ! the chat and the food taste bad, A couple of my friends have fallen ill a couple of times. the food is advised not to be consumed. and the tickets are very expensive. Nela (floor) tickets at the price of IMAX !!

Full of bed bugs is what you get in this theatre. Poorly kept seats and restrooms.

Good place to watch Indian films.

Its okay, but facilities could be nicer.

Really old theatre. Small screen and basic facilities. Okay for special screenings, not for regular movies.

Bad theatre and management. Ticket value is very less hence may be good value for money.

A place to watch telugu or tamil movies only on tuesdays when they have discounts. They take only cash on tuesday.They dont even have basic water fountains, the roof is broken, food is expensive.

Horrible sound quality and very very badly maintained theater. Avoid this theater even if they give out a free ticket.

Low cost theatres with Indian films, especially Telugu and Tamil.

Reasonably good theater!

Clean theater with tasty indian snacks

Seating is bad.. You will get back pain after sometime...

Good for Indian movies... Theatre is Okay.

Although theres a lot of new Telugu movies showing here, the place itself has uncomfortable seats and not so clean bathrooms. This place is looks and feels old school but it does the job. If other theaters around arent showing the movie Im looking for, Id go here. If not, I wouldnt bother.

Theater and facilities are not great. But some indian regional language movies like marathi, kannada, telgu etc are only played here.

Not a luxurious place but decent enough to watch movies

It OK, Not bad for Telugu movies

It doesn’t look like I’m in a theater as the theater management keep as moving from one screen to other screen like 3 times in the middle of the movie Which is the worst experience I ever had in any theater.

Well maintained n friendly staff

Well, first off Id like to say this review is not for the Serra Theater as it is now, but for the Serra Twin Theater I knew growing up in North San Jose in the early 1980s. Back then, the theater was the place wed go to see second-run and B movies. I and my sisters and friends would ride our bicycles along the shoulder of Hwy. 237 (you could get away with it back then; the highway was much smaller). Wed go see something like 9 to 5 or Battle Beyond the Stars or Star Crash for a dollar (or less) then ride our bikes back home. The air-conditioned cool of the theater was a welcome refuge from the harsh California sun, and for an hour or two our mundane world slipped away and we were space warriors or monster hunters or any other number of impossible things.Im happy to know that the Serra is still showing movies, but it seems from the reviews Ive read that the current owners dont seem to care much about giving their customers a pleasant experience. Movies have the power to influence and enrich our lives, and theater-goers that feel comfortable and welcomed will return time and again. After more than 30 years, I still remember the Serra Twin. Will it still be remembered 30 years hence?

Good Indian movies clean place

Thanks to century and AMC, the monopoly of these guys is broken! Worst customer service. Theatres are maintained as if we have no choice but go to them !!! Hate it!

Not so good theatres. Sound system, seating comfort are all mediocre.

Kind of an old theatre screening two Indian movies, mostly Telugu movies. Really needs a huge upgrade for the price of the ticket.
