" I visited Golden Sparrow for the lunchtime buffet, and I loved the variety and flavor of the offerings. Everything tasted very authentic; I could see how much care goes into their cooking. The butter chicken was very tender, and the spices were just right. The staff was attentive and friendly, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone in search of true Indian flavors in a casual setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't often leave reviews, but I felt compelled to express how fantastic Golden Sparrow is. The food was simply wonderful; every item was seasoned impeccably.

We will be returning soon for another round of delicious Indian food! " (*Curated Review*)

The food was absolutely delicious! I had the lamb curry, which was rich and flavorful, and the garlic naan was delightful—perfectly crispy with a nice char. The owners went out of their way to make sure we were happy with our food. Cannot wait to return to experience more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love this Indian spot! The food is fantastic, and their hospitality truly makes the experience memorable. I specifically enjoyed the butter chicken, which was creamy and full of flavor. The garlic naan was equally great—ethereal in texture! I went on a Saturday and it was pleasantly busy but not chaotic. The ambiance is casual but full of character. I will be coming back here as the menu has plenty of enticing options. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you crave true Indian flavors, Golden Sparrow is a must-visit! The owner greeted us with genuine warmth, and we were thrilled with our culinary choices. The palak paneer was blissfully creamy and comforting, and the mango lassi was refreshingly sweet. The dining area is modest, but it's brimming with heart. We even learned that the recipes are family secrets, passed down through generations, which just adds to the authenticity of the experience. Long story short, top-notch Indian cuisine awaits you here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Stepping into Golden Sparrow feels like entering a cherished family kitchen in India. Our meal was an explosion of authentic flavors, from the savory butter chicken to the perfectly fluffy garlic naan. Each bite reminds you of the love and care that goes into their cooking. The staff treated us like family, making every guest feel special. Their chai is also a must-try; it's the best I've had outside of India! I can't recommend this place enough! Truly a gem in Salem.
