    A pleasant surprise, my friend treated me to lunch downtown sharing one of his favorites. I've no idea how I'd never been, but will be sure to frequent more often. The menu selections were vast; with vegetarian, lamb, chicken and shrimp dishes. I chose the Chicken Biryani and swapped plates to try my friend's Tikka Masala. Each bite was delectable, mild on the spice, though you can choose the level of heat that suits you. The buttery garlic naan perfectly accented the meal. I was absolutely stuffed and still had enough for two meals to take home. Beautiful atmosphere and music made for the perfect lunch outing.

    Lunch Special! Took this before the huge plate of Garlic Naan came out!

    Absolutely super lunch! Everything was excellent, particularly the Chicken Tikka. Just the right amount of spice. Loved all the accompaniments... papadam with mint sauce, Tea, and great Garlic Naan. Tables were clean and comfortable and the staff was very friendly. We will definitely be coming back!

    I had the chicken biryani and it was delicious. But:…read more It took 38 minutes for them to give it to me. The place wasn't even crowded. They skimped on the chicken, I felt. But what I got was delicious. When I finally got it....

    This is my second order at this truck. They are 2/2, so far! Back in July I ordered the chicken…read morebiryani off a recommendation from a worker, and it was delicious! So much flavor with each bite that I didn't want to finish it lol. Unfortunately, I did when I got home... I told myself I was eventually gonna try other items and here I am, swinging by last night and ordered the 5 piece tandoori chicken. Beware! This might take a little longer to prepare so be courteous with your wait. The gentlemen working on 9/15/25, I did not catch his name, gave me a heads up that it will take a bit longer. Let me tell you, it was worth the wait. When it was ready, I could smell the aromatics thru the light breeze and it had me floating over. (imagine a cartoon character floating over while twinkling their toes). The gentlemen asked if it was for here or to go, because he wanted me to try it and let him know how it was. I said it was to go, but I sat back down with my wife to finish our drink and tried it out. I tried a bite and ended up eating a whole piece of chicken lol...SHEESH! I had to let him know that it was excellent on my way out and what he recommended for me next time around. So far, they are killing it and I wanna give a shout out to the worker on 9/15/25 for his friendly service and recommendations! I can't wait to try the other items :)

    I love love love the Butter Chicken at this place. Its pretty much the best thing ever. Slap it on…read morethe garlic naan and that's the shizzle my nizzles. Word.

    Absolutely bizarre & absurd lack of service!!! The young man (supposedly) hosting (?) waiting…read moretables (?) was unprofessional, inattentive, flippant, and lazy. Our food took an inordinate amount of time to arrive but when it did it was delivered by a lovely gracious woman. The young man never checked in to see how everything was or if we desired anything. We had needed another 2 sets of flatware since we were 4 and there were only 2 place settings. I was forced to get up and go to another table to retrieve the place settings as our "server/ waiter" was absent. We ordered a chai for my 90 year old father prior to even ordering our meal yet it arrived WITH dinner and was placed nowhere near my father but on the other side of the condiments causing him to reach for it OVER the condiments, while ending up spilling hot chai on himself. My sister asked how this young man's father was, he replied, " he is home watching a game or something he doesn't come in on Saturdays unless he is covering me." If this is indeed the owner's son his attitude and behaviour is even more appalling ! My sister ordered dessert for my father,we had a table full of empty plates and dishes yet this guy did not remove any of them, he just set the sweet among them. I finally asked him to please take them away and even that he did not do immediately. When I asked for our cheque he told me that I must come to the counter. Had this been an exceptionally busy time in the restaurant we may have had a bit more patience but as it was not busy we certainly cannot understand the lack of service nor the very spacey and lackadaisical attitude. To note: upon arrival near 5 p.m today / Saturday as a party of 4 which included my sister & parents, patrons of this restaurant for years, there was only a table of 4 present hence this was not a bustling, busy afternoon. Sadly after our very lackluster experience tonight neither my parents, sister nor I will be returning or recommending Cuisine India !! There are numerous options for Indian food in Salem now. They offer great service, food, overall experience, and appreciation of their guests.

    I'm so disappointed. I have wanted a good Indian restaurant…read morein Keizer for years. This place had no soul. Cold and empty. The high light was the lady at the cash register. She was welcoming and friendly. We ordered samosas and paneer pakora for a quick snack with Starbucks. B oth dishes were flavorless on the inside. The samosas had so much salt on the breading that I had to pick it away with my finger. The Pakora tasted like frozen doughy pizza rolls. Not hand-made at all or worth what we paid. Please take this review as honest and don't get mad. This is to let you know that you have a great sea of improvement and I really do hope you bloom into a restaurant we will all be proud to eat at. The ambiance was bleak and cold with little to no thought of the rich warmth of India.

    We ate here for the first time today. The service was great and the restaurant appeared very clean,…read moresomewhat devoid of ambience you'd expect in an Indian restaurant. They were playing pleasant Indian music. I got the Butter Chicken and asked for it to be mild and it had delicious flavor but too spicy for me. My husband got the Chicken Tikka Masala and he throughly enjoyed it! The Naan was the best I've ever had. We really enjoyed this place and are so happy Salem has a new Indian Restaurant. We will definitely return. Oh they're closed from 2:00-4:00!
