Best Indian Restaurants in South Salem

Valentines Night. Wonderful experience. We didn’t expect anything particular for Valentines, however they had prepared for the evening. Balloons up the staircase, the bar was covered in rose petals and other Valentines appropriate plants. They had prepared a menu of Valentines Day cocktails created by the bartender who was keen to get feedback on his creations. You could tell he wanted to know only because he wanted us to enjoy them (not begging for praise). At our table we were given a glass of champagne garnished with fresh fruit on the house. A special Valentines Prix Fix menu was available in addition to their regular menu. My wife and I both chose Prix fix. The choices per course were plenty and the food was excellent. The price value was great as well. And to finish the night we were presented a gift of a rose and champagne split to bring home. It turned out to be the perfect choice for Valentines Day and I will 100% be an ongoing patron of Taj. And of course will spread the word amongst friends. High commendations for Taj going the extra mile for the evening.

Chutney Masala reminds me of the truly great Indian restaurants back home (London) which is a testament to how great the food is here. We have been coming here for over 11 years and the level of food and service have never faltered. I highly recommend you try this spot for an authentic experience.

Wonderful service and delicious food in a subdued and intimate atmosphere. We had a nice time catching up with old friends whom we could actually hear. Disregard the exterior shopping center and step into India.

Excellent food! And the ambience is nicer than you’d expect given its location in a strip of stores on Central Ave.
