“This place was such a surprise! We always drive right by and comment on the smoker, but have never stopped. We were missing out! The service and food were great! I asked for a few customizations and they were happy to do it for us - the homemade tortillas are so delicious!”

“Instead of getting a plate of tiny tacos just get '1 'pueblo' taco. We all have had Asada , chicken and my favorite Carnitas. It's 5.00 and will fill you. There's a picture menu and picnic table style covered seating.”

“Very good food home cooked style food and the the portions are worth it you definitely get your moneys worth service is very professional and friendly”

“This Cinnabon is located inside the Pilot Travel Center store. There's a Taco Bell and a Subway attached, but the Cinnabon is a stand-alone kiosk-store next to the coffee area inside the main store. This is a take-out location; there are no tables or chairs specifically for Cinnabon. There are eating areas in the Subway/Taco Bell section.”

“Disclaimer, I didn't eat the food myself as I'm plant based. Dennis and Auntie makes it homey. When I look at the pictures and food, it feels authentic and rich, yummies families eat. Portions are great. Definitely smells tempting while I'm enroute to deliver these. Ordered BBQ pork skewers for my Greek friend and he can't stop raving about it. He asked me to get more for him on his birthday. Got the pork adobo for another friend. OMG! Delicious! He's a born and raised Louisiana chef so quite judgy when it comes to food. Definitely, ordering some dishes for my visiting family!”

“Loved the cozy vibe, amazing food, and the bartender’s great craft beer picks. A true hidden gem in Salem.”

“they make the best burgers in town. best breakfast as well.”

“Incredible food! I was absolutely blown away by how delicious and nourishing my soup was. I had Duk Mandu Guk, a delicious soup with rice cakes and dumplings in a savory broth. My mother-in-law had a yummy bulgogi bento box! I asked if they had dessert but they didn't unfortunately. And then one of the servers came over and brought me two little watermelon slices and made my day. 💖 Also the bathroom was incredibly clean and honestly really well decorated. The restaurant has lovely plants and decorations throughout, even the bathroom! Such a lovely place. I can now see why my Korean grandma-in-law loves this place!! And I had plenty of leftovers to take home too!!”

“Stopped by yesterday and discovered this wonderful shop. The service was excellent, the space was clean, the baby cake we tried was exceptional. I would definitely recommend this bakery.”

“Fantastic Adult Arcade, highly recommend! From the games, to the drinks, you're gonna have a BLAST with your friends. They have a hockey table, several pinball machines, Mario Kart, the list goes on. The selection of games they have here are perfect, you won't be getting bored!”

“Absolutely delicious Ethiopian food, a must visit, every dish has a different set of spices and flavors, not spicy, many vegetarian dishes, no pork products, delicious roasted fresh daily coffee called bunnah, wonderful customer service, I recommend the sampler platter and also doro wat dish. I felt very welcome and comfortable. Lovely place”

“Fabulous evening with friends before Christmas. The decorations are warm and welcoming along with having the talented pianist at the grand piano. I had the most delicious seafood pasta ever. Large prawns and sweet scallops with homemade pasta was scrumptious. My husband had lobster tail on beet risotto. A little skeptical we all had a taste and it was delicious, too. We appreciate Mo’s graciousness and celebrate his almost 35 years in Salem. Our server Stevie, was efficient, friendly and took great care of us. Best restaurant in Salem.”

“This is more than a pleasant surprise, this is my go to now for Indian food. My hubby and I went for a date night and it was perfect, so I had to take our kids about a month later and everything was just as perfect. The portions are phenomenal and they do not skimp on the amount of meat, veggies, or potatoes in each dish. Every dish I've tried so far(scroll down for more details on each dish) the meats have been perfectly cooked, along with the veggies and potatoes. Also most dishes come with a side of white basmati rice, which is very well cooked.

The staff are so very nice, friendly and will help you with recommendations as well as any questions on individual dishes. They really do know their menu, and I so appreciate that.

Spicy heat levels: The spiciness we've tried is medium, which my hubby says is the perfect amount of heat. While I find the medium to be extremely tasty, I don't find it spicy at all. I think the hotter levels(hot and extra hot) are the perfect level. So just be cognizant of your spice tolerance because the levels are noticeable.

Drinks: they sit you with a fresh bottle of ice cold water. I'm fine with just that. But they do have plenty of other choices.

Appetizers: We get the samosas with the ground lamb and oh my gosh so good. They are perfectly crispy, and huge. The filling is substantial, with a wonderful amount of ground lamb not just veggies. The spices and sauce is deep in flavor and should not be passed up. They also come with their cilantro sauce which is very bright and I do believe it is a tamarind sauce which is a bit sweet, on the side, they are both wonderful. It's nice to go back and forth, it's like having three different appetizers in one.

Sides: so far we've gotten the garlic naan. Each order comes with quite a few pieces to get you through your meal. It's freshly cooked not frozen. It has a nice crisp to it and a little bit of fluff. The butter garlic and cilantro on top isn't skimped on but doesn't make it soggy.
We've also tried the saffron rice. This was very tasty, it had a very satisfying saffron flavor and the rice wasn't dry at all.

Mains: Lamb curry is my favorite Indian dish and this one is so very good. They do a wonderful job of balancing all the spices so all the flavors really stand out.
Butter chicken. It's really buttery and rich. It isn't tomato forward but in a wonderful way, but that's personally the way I like it. You can certainly feel and taste all the wonderful spices they use, it is very well balanced, with perfectly cooked chicken.
Lamb vindaloo, the spices are so deep and everything has been cooked to really infuse those flavors into all the pieces.
Lamb mushroom, is mushroomy and they take on the spices so well. If you love mushrooms you're gonna love this combo of flavors.
Lamb biryani, this one has a beautiful blend of spices, rice, and huge lamb chunks all blended together. It's a dish that you'll take bite after bite just to taste that blend again.

So if you like/ love Indian food this is a place that i think will make you appreciate it even more. If you've never tried it and are curious this is a perfect place I think to start you off on an amazing journey. If you think you'd not like Indian food, I'll tell you I was the same until I took a chance and tried something new and found a journey through some beautiful flavors that I've craved ever since.”

“Fantastic selection of drinks! Good quality of tea. Great people!”

“Sweetly Baked is my favorite Salem sweet spot! My partner is celiac and loves the GF brownie, cookie, and cupcake selections! His favorite is the mint brownie—yum! My go-to are the sweet kolaches, champagne cupcakes (both the raspberry and strawberry are divine), and the chocolate covered pretzels tossed in seasonal sprinkles. The coffee is great, and the sandwiches and salads hit the spot when you have a bit of time to linger. Everything is soft, fresh, and delicious!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Kike’s Taqueria absolutely crushed it!
I ordered the birria burrito and honestly… I’m still thinking about it. The tortilla was perfectly toasted, the meat was crazy tender, and every bite felt like a warm hug from someone who actually cares about you. And don’t even get me started on the hot sauce—spicy, delicious, and just dangerous enough to make you question your life choices in the BEST way.

The staff was super friendly too! They treated me like a regular even though it was my first time. You can really tell they love what they do.

Definitely recommending this place to all my friends and family. If you haven’t tried it yet, go. Run. Your taste buds will thank you. 🌯🔥”
