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.

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.

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.

The service was incredibly friendly and attentive. Everyone greeted us with a smile, took the time to explain the menu, checked on us throughout the meal, and made us feel genuinely welcome. I ordered the tandoori chicken, and it was fantastic, freshly grilled, juicy, well-seasoned, and a generous portion. My boyfriend got the chicken tikka, and the creamy sauce was rich and delicious. We also ordered the cheese naan, which is great, it was warm, cheesy, and like an elevated quesadilla. Overall, everything was flavorful, the service was outstanding, and it's easy to see why this place is a Salem staple. We'll definitely be back!

Almost everything we tried was great. The paratha was humongous and packed with flavor, though I do wish they offered a few more individual filling options instead of just a mixed veg style. Both the chicken curry and the paneer bhurji were absolutely on point, and the gulab jamun was a perfect sweet finish. As for the misses, the chana in the chana masala was still a bit too firm to bite into and definitely needed more cooking time, and the chicken roll was just okay. That said, I'm totally willing to let those couple of things slide because the highlights were so good. I'd love to come back and work my way through more of their menu!

The flavors were well balanced and the chutney just brought it all together. I wish they gave more chutney with the wrap though. I feel like I couldn't used almost twice the amount for the entire wrap. Also, for a wrap, I wish the lamb pieces were smaller so when I take a bite I get to take in all the flavors rather than just a full mouth of lamb and then have multiple bites without lamb. Otherwise, very tasty and decently priced. They even have a little eating area under a tent where you have access to hot tea and the bottled drinks you order.
