Really love this place. Its my go to lunch spot. I used to only get Butter Chicken until the staff started making fun of me playfully and I have tried almost everything on the menu since! I've loved everything I've tried and the few times I've had something inconsistent with my last visit I told them about it and they corrected it for my next visit! They also just started renovating and while I miss the old dining rooms bright colors, I do love the more modern interior design. Highly recommended. read more

Picked up the order and the restaurant and ambiance seemed to be the same, compared to my last visit. The staff were friendly. When I got home, I noticed food missing. Called them and they said to come get it. Bruh. The item cost less then the gas it would take to drive there and back. Ugh. Refund me. Food was cold in spots. Seemed like a little microwave action. It was ok. Not as good as it used to be. My "spicy" was mild, at best. Decent food, would have really liked it spicy. Moral of the story.... meh. Not as good as it used to be, but better than spicee bite. Much better. read more

I ordered the butter chicken, which included basmati rice. I added a side of garlic naan. I did order this through DoorDash, but I received it super quick, so it was hot & seemed fresh (even though it was later in the evening) 10/10 read more

Super delicious!! We ordered several butter chickens because we love the dish so much. Also ordered lamb organ Josh very delicious. Garlic naan is yum! Highly recommend!! The ambience is great as the restaurant is newly renovated. read more

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. read more

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! read more

India Palace - Lunch Special! Took this before the huge plate of Garlic Naan came out! - Indian Near Me - Salem, Oregon

This is my new favorite restaurant. Good service and great food! The Vegetable Pakoras were one of my favorite things!

Website says they have Buffett, but they do not. Misleading information. They need to update their information

The food and service was great. The portions were generous and the prices reasonable. read more

I've had Indian food in several different states throughout the country, this is hands-down the best I've had. The food speaks for itself. Tandoori chicken has never been a must-have on my list but the amount of flavor is incredible at India Palace. The service is always wonderful. The staff are very attentive and personable. It seems they do a lot of deliveries but my family and I enjoy sitting and dining. read more

Everything was excellent and delicious. We had the chicken tikka masala with basmati rice and mango lassis. Garlic naan was fantastic. Five stars read more

I've ordered takeout from India Palace many times, however, have not dined-in. Therefore, my review is solely for the food. I can say, this is probably one of the best Indian food I've had in Oregon so far. The Naan, Butter Chicken, Tikka Massala, and everything else has always been, consistently, spot on amazing! Easy 5 stars here! read more

The food was great. The service was friendly. We knew a few dishes we wanted but took a few recommendations. We were not disappointed and took a lot of food home for 2-3 more meals. read more

Wonderful food. Had the lamb tiki masala and Nan bread. Service was attentive but not over done. Would definitely go back.

NEW OWNERS.... I have been eating here for many years. The new owners took over a few months ago. That's why the menu has changed. Speaking of menus they only have a QR code to their menu online. I personally found it awkward to use and would prefer a print paper menu. The food was very good. We had chai tea, naan, matter paneer and chicken do piaza curry. $50.75 with tip for lunch. I don't think the prices are different between lunch and dinner and they are not set up for Buffet. Hopefully, one day they will be serving buffet. read more

This food is amazing! My husband and I had the butter chicken, the tandoori chicken, and some palak paneer (apologies if I've misspelled) and it was wonderful. The portions are big enough that we probably only needed two of the three dishes, but it was so hard to choose! The service was quick and friendly, and the place itself is really lovely. There was no one else dining in but they did have several takeout orders. Oh, and the mango lassi was sweet and creamy and incredible. Truly, this is one of the best restaurants in town for great food with a lovely date. read more

Great Lamb Vindaloo, it could be a little bit more spicy, butniverall great flavour. Service was good and not overbearing. I had the garlic Naan, pretty good too. read more

My family and I went for dinner. We had the Chicken Tikka Masala, Palak Paneer, Tandoori Chicken and Shrimp Biryani and would give it all 5 stars! read more

Wonderful food and wonderful people! Another visit to India Palace tonight with out of town guests and it did not disappoint. Our server Jass was charming and attentive and the food was great as always. We'll be back soon! read more

Best Indian restaurant in Salem. I love the friendly staff, the menu, lots of non-meat options, and they have PAPADUM on the menu!!!

They have the best garlic naan. Service is amazing, good prices, and staff are incredibly friendly. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough

I was pregnant and craving, and this place was beyond what I expected. So the food was amazing, and I recommend the butter chicken, chicken tiki marsala with garlic nan !!!! read more

Dined here on 10/4/22 and while the food was great, we were shocked by the $80 tab we received. Their excuse was that "the menu hasn't been updated" and we refused to pay it. They did agree to reduce the tab to $55 for us, but wow what a crazy and awkward situation. What seemed to be an honest mistake is clearly not since previous people here on Yelp have reported this behavior. Also, what's worse is the fact that their online prices are also different from the menu and the tab they gave. Really sad that I have to give a bad review because the food was good, but the deception is why I will never return. read more

We were visiting the town and found this place to eat on Christmas day. Their service and staff were super friendly and their food was really amazing. Saag paneer and lamb biryani was awesome. When asked about halal options, their staff diligently guided us and gave us a thorough walkthrough of their halal options read more

Malai Kofta the best I've ever tasted. And the naan, flatter, more like a pancake and lovely and aromatic. The definition of comfort food. Yum! read more

I have eaten in 3 of the 4 primary Indian food restaurants now. I was excited but a little leery about trying this place out because no one ever seems to be eating there. I'm told they do a really good Grubhub or Doordash business. But some of the staff pass by me on a regular basis and are so kind and inviting that I came in today. The place is very clean and so were the restrooms. First, they now offer a lunch menu like another one close by. We could select items from either the night-time menu or from the 2 lunch menus: Non vegetarian and vegetarian. We chose non vegetarian lunch. Also their price was about the same as the competition. Here though, this menu has a choice of 2 meat dishes on the non veg menu whereas the competitor offers only 1 meat dish and it is preset by the day with no choices. Here we could choose from 4 meat menu items off the night-time menu. That means the value of this lunch menu is superb. It includes an additional meat dish, naan (garlic or plain) chai tea, along with the vegetable pakora, daal, rice, and choice of salad or raita along with roti and tamarind sauce and green chutney-both of which were excellent. So there were many items included in the price that other places don't. The food also came with additional spice blend. I had ordered the heat index at medium level. I will go higher next time, but I did put the lovely hotter spice paste on everything. I had the lamb curry and the chicken Tika Masala as my two. I sampled my chums butter chicken. There was sufficient meat in all of the dishes. They even have a Rogen Josh lamb dish. All of the food was very well prepared and tasty. And it came quickly. I would definitely come back for the food, offerings, service, & cleanliness. read more

I'm SO disappointed that India Palace isn't having its traditional New Year's Eve buffet dinner this year. We've enjoyed it for many years and hope they bring it back - then I'd give a full 5 stars for the buffet. read more

Disappointing. We just ordered food to go, got home to see the papadam wafers are literally a pile of crumbs. One dish is so spicy it's almost inedible, even though we ordered MILD. Second dish is so overly salted it's awful. It tastes like the cook didn't know what seasoning/spices to use, so they just poured a bunch of salt on this dish. It's our first time ordering from here, and definitely the last time. They ought to be ashamed of themselves, taking customer's hard earned money for food this bad. read more

India Palace - Ordered papadam, got a pile of crumbs. Why?! - Indian Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Always amazing food! The fish pakoras are especially tasty. All hail the palak paneer!

We had a very delicious meal. Ample portions. Warm restaurant on a cold day. Lovely service. It was a wonderful experience and we are looking forward to going back. Also, very reasonably priced which is a hard thing to find these days. read more

Whether you're feeling adventurous, or simply need your comfort-food that is naan and butter chicken, this is it. The prices are slightly high but that is only because they know what they're doing (and inflation people c'mon.) From the second you sit down you are taken-care of as if you're visiting a friend. Each time I get my curry craving you will find me here. :) read more

We ordered Uber eats from India palace, This is by far the best real Indian food, I have ever tasted! I ordered the butter chicken and at most places the butter chicken is orange and it's originally not supposed to be orange, but let me just say I forget the name of the pepper that's in the dish but most places don't add these peppers. Which really makes the dish come together!There's a spot that my boyfriend and I used to go to back home in Tampa Florida that made the dish the exact way just like the butter chicken at India palace. But they ended up closing for good. After that the other places weren't the best! But was still good! I craved this dish for so long!! And I'm so happy I found a place in Salem that makes true real Indian food! I definitely will be returning!!! The service was fast and I didn't have to wait two hours for my Indian food to be delivered and it was hot and ready to eat!!! Definitely worth 10 stars but there's on an option for five! And it wasn't that expensive!!! Which is great!! M Thank you India Palace read more

Though advertised several places and on Yelp as a buffet, this place is no longer a buffet and will not have a buffet again, for lunch or at any time. They have a new menu with increased prices, but it can only be accessed on your phone. read more

I've gotten the buttered chicken and palak paneer from here and both were very flavorful and great! Would go back. We got take out so can't say much about the service but the lady who took the order over the phone was very pleasant. read more

We've tried most Indian restaurants in Salem but still come back to India Palace. By far, our fave.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in town. I always have gotten takeout. The Butter Chicken and chicken marsala is perfect.

As a college student at willamette just about a half mile from the restaurant, sometimes the dining hall is a bit too crowded or basically inedible. I will order the chicken tikka masala and naan off of DoorDash and India palace has never failed to save me from the horrors that would await in the dining hall. read more

Yes please give India Palace 5 stars! If you are looking for scrumptious authentic Indian food, this is the place. I work across the street and they have saved my life many lunchtimes. The vegetarian selections are flavorful and fresh with just enough heat to keep you going! The staff are fabulous and Pooja even hand delivers my lunch when I'm busy! Do yourself a favor and go check them out. Even the gorgeous chandelier will make you smile. You will not be disappointed! YUM! read more

Absolutely LOVE this place. The food is delicious and makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside!!! So good.

We are obsessed with this place! Absolutely love the Garlic Naan which we start off with each time, it is Phenomenal. We usually order the Palak Paneer which is homemade cheese, spinach and a blend of fresh herb and spices served with rice as well as the Chicken Kashmiri which is the most tender chicken pieces I've yet to have cooked with a creamy sauce with spices and served with rice. It is plenty to split amongst us. The flavors are so perfectly blended and you can almost taste each one individually yet not. Ingredients always taste so fresh and tender. So flavorful and the portions are more than filling. Many great options on the menu so there is something for everyone and the desserts looks good too (haven't tried them... YET). Service is amazing every single time and you feel like you are their best customer! Looking forward to my next time there! I feel the craving coming on already. read more
