The BEST Indian food in Salem. I am looking forward to making my way through more of the menu. So flavorful and succulent. I am glad I brought my own water bottle as staff was using bottled water instead of filling reusable cups when I dined in- it was very busy so I don't know if this is standard or not. We ordered lamb korma, malai kofta, garlic naan (just a little less garlicky than I like, but I understand this is an Italian/American food projection), and mango lassi (sweet and satisfying!). Everything was superb and we had multiple meals from the leftovers.

We got chicken vindaloo and butter chicken and it was like a hug in a bowl, so savory and comforting. The meat was so tender and soft and the spices were amazing, I don’t know a lot about Indian food but I can tell when spices are high quality and fresh. The basmati rice was cooked perfectly and so fragrant. A Salem gem, don’t think twice about coming here

Really delicious food and friendly service. Good size portions and we took home plenty of leftovers. We had the fish curry (delicious and plenty of fish and sauce), an eggplant dish that was wonderful, tandoor chicken and garlic naan. Very reasonable prices, too!

Flavorful, good service, clean environment, worth the price. Make sure you order a side of naan too when you go to order. I got the lunch special and it was like a good sampler of what they serve. This was my first time going there and I plan on going back to try some other dishes. It's also next to Akai Ramen as well which both are a good choice for lunch or dinner. Hope to see more places like these in Salem.

If I had a headline for this restaurant it would be: Salem’s Best Hidden Gem!I took my mother to dinner tonight walking in there was no frills but damn was the food incredible. It was homestyle cooking at its finest. I have lived all over the country this might be the best Indian Food I’ve ever had!The service was great. Our server was kind attentive and thoughtful. The food came out fast and hot. We ordered a lot of food admittedly for 2 people but it may have taken 20 minutes to get it all to our table.We ordered( Lamb Saag, Fish Tandori, Garlic Naan, Chicken Samosa, they offered complementary dessert which was a Sweet Bread Ball(Sorry I don’t know how to spell it!)Overall: If you want great food I would highly recommend this restaurant!

No frills restaurant can be deceptive (hidden gem), but the food, omg, AMAZING! I had the fish tandoori, lamb saag, garlic Naan of course, strawberry Lassi, and amazing dessert balls (not sure how to spell, sorry). Great variety and selection of food choices. The service was perfection. Extremely attentive and thoughtful. Best homestyle Indian we have ever had!!!

This place is great! They accommodated me with chicken biryani since I couldn't order it online and there was a price difference, but they did it for me anyway as a one time courtesy! Thank you so much!!
The food was very delicious, portions were great, and staff was friendly and welcoming.

Food is always delicious, everytime we leave we are excited to go back! We went today and their chicken Tikka Masala is amazing, the roti is the best out of the flat breads, and killer crispy chicken wings! Leftovers so good, they can be eaten cold.

Run don't walk to this amazing spot if you want to experience Zen. Great friendly service and delicious food. An explosion of carefully layered spices in delicious sauces. ☘️ ? ?Update: I came back.. Stopped in to grab a Doordash delivery and it smelled sooooooo incredibly good I mentioned that to Navi at the counter, he thanked me and said I was "welcome to come back!" I had the strongest craving and would not stop talking about it in the car with my girlfriend, as we drove with a guest order all the way out to Corbin College, so we decided to take his advice drove back for lunch. We didn't realize until we went to order that we had arrived 5 mins to close, oh noooo we were those people we thought gahhhh ?, they close between 2 and 4pm heads up, so being lifetime food service workers ourselves we said we would come back and apologized for our mistake. Navi told us we were absolutely still welcome to order take out and after talking to the chef in the kitchen said we could actually dine in as they had another table still to order. How incredibly accommodating and rare! We did decide to sit and were given a complimentary water but on seeing we had a delivery at home decided when we ordered we should just order take out and get back to work afterwards. Absolutely ravinous by the time we got home our stomachs grumbling from the beautiful smell we dug in quickly. I was in heaven! Everything was packaged beautifully with care, Navi even asked me if we wanted Naan bread, which I had forgotten to order, I instinctively agreed as it works so well as a shovel which is what we did making the food on our plates disappear like magicians. The delicious mint & tamarind chutney / sauces complimented everything. We had the Vegetable Samosa, best in town by far, Paneer Pakora, I've literally never had cottage cheese I liked till now, perfectly spiced and delicious, Paneer Tikka Masala, just the right amount of spices and my girlfriend had Lamb Biryani which comes with a delicious tender spiced lamb and rice with Raita yogurt to balance the heat. We are going to share the beautiful Kheer for dessert later after our food nap, my girlfriend is already napping as I write this ? ?. Thank you Navi and Chef for making our food dreams come true on this rainy day today. You are truly the BEST most accommodating and friendly restaurant in all of Salem! SLÁINTE (Cheers) ☘️???

Affordable and delicious lunch special. The service was very pleasant. Would like to see water glasses instead of a plastic bottle. Overall great experience and a nice vegetarian option!
