Golden Sparrow Indian Restaurant

Wow, we found this place while passing through Salem. I had never tried Indian food. After this place, I am now a fan of the cuisine. The flavors were amazing, and the food was so fresh and full of flavor. Absolutely amazing experience must go. I will be back again and again.

First time in, and it was so peaceful, music was vibing, and the food is beyond delicious definitely will be coming back. Also there's a lot of vegetarian options. Everything cost less then $50.00 everything I posted taste great I absolutely love the tea and all the food.

Vegetarian options: Lots of delicious options+ the salad is amazing

Dietary restrictions: You just have to let them know before you order.

The only thing good was the cheese nan. Lamb curry was bad, shrimp curry bad, like small frozen shrimp. A nope from me.

Vegetarian options: I can only I can only tell you that vegetable Biryani is my favorite Indian food dish. Not certain how many times I've had this dish at various Indian restaurants over my lifetime. Conservatively let's say four times a year. Multiply that times 50 years you've got 200 dishes of vegetable Brianni. So I can speak with some experience and expertise here: in my opinion this is excellent vegetable biryani. I can only surmise that the rest of the offerings are equally robust and scrumptious.

Kid-friendliness: A clean, well lighted place-- which is also the title of my favorite Ernest Hemingway short story.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's all nice and flat and smooth no problem I'm sure.

I liked the Garlic Chicken more than the Butter Chicken... but everything we tried was amazing.

Delicious food! We enjoyed the dal tadka, mutter paneer, and egg biryani. The naan impressed everyone. We will definitely come again!

Best Indian food in the Salem/Keizer area! Not as heavy as others but packed with wonderful spices and exotic flavors! Really enjoyed the lam curry. Highly recommend it!

Was somewhat disappointed. The lamb biryani was ordered medium hot but came out super hot. Tandoori chicken was good.

Family ran restaurant. It was as if the family cooked just for us. The amount of love put into the food is evident. We had Paneer Pakora, Garlic Naan, Butter Chicken (Medium Spice level), and Chicken Biryani (Spicy spice level); and everything was absolutely delicious. Met the Father and his two kids and they were lovely people.
