★★★★★ 5.0 Greg Kemp · Jan 2026

Are you kidding me?? I was totally blown away by the portions. I only ordered the half tandoori and it seemed like a whole chicken worth. Four huge pieces of nan bread. My wife ordered the paneer biryani. Omg !! The flavors! The spices! I have found the west indies! This food is authentic Indian food not watered down like "Americanized" Indian food. You will not be disappointed! Price is very reasonable and you will have leftovers!😁👍

This humble food carts is cranking out some serious food. They offer many proteins, such as goat, lamb, chicken. Many of the dishes are naturally gluten free as Indian food doesn't involve much. The food will take some time as it is made to order in many instances and rightfully should be! I highly recommend any of the Pakoda dishes. The samosas are on point and the lamb saag is tasty! Give this spot a shot! There is not enough good Indian food in Salem.

We stopped in for a pint at Shades of Brew and I’m so glad we did. They have this amazing Indian Food Truck in the back called Ruchi and the food was so good, so good. We just moved back to the US after sixteen years and we have really been wanting some authentic Indian food and this is the place. My Butter Chicken and Naan were amazing, do yourselves a favor and stop in for a pint and some Curry. You won’t be sorry. Super friendly service as well! 10/10

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Honest Reviews · Jan 2026

Saw all these 5 star reviews so I was excited to try We got Tandoori Chicken (half order), Paneer Tikka Masala, and Garlic Naan Here is my honest review: Menu says Tandoori Chicken (Half) is half chicken but turned out to be 2 pieces of chicken thighs Taste was not bad but nothing mind blowing Charging $17.99 for 2 chicken thighs with no rice must be a joke Paneer Tikka was sour and a bit watery Rice was mushy Garlic naan was thin and dry Overall, very disappointing and won’t be returning

Possibly the best Indian food I've had. The butter lamb was delicious and paired great with the paneer biryani. The Tandoori chicken blew me away; perfectly cooked and full of flavor with just the right amount of crispiness. 100% worth the stop.
