" I finally made it to Golden Sparrow after hearing so much buzz about it! The food was indeed incredible; I especially loved the mutter paneer and zan flavor. The owners are genuinely pleasant and aim to please every customer. The only drawback was the limited seating which made it a bit crowded during dinner rush. However, the flavors made it worth the wait! I'll definitely come back and try more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot stress enough how amazing the food here is. Each dish we ordered had a distinct flavor, and no two items tasted alike! I tried the chicken vindaloo for the first time, and it was spiced perfectly. The naan was light and fluffy, and my meal was complemented by a refreshing mango lassi. The pricing is also very reasonable, making it a great spot for families or anyone on a budget. I will definitely make this place a regular visit. " (*Curated Review*)

It's a lovely little family-run place that truly cares about its customers, and they have certainly gained a loyal fan in me. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking for a cozy spot to enjoy some authentic Indian food, and Golden Sparrow exceeded my expectations! The lamb biryani was flavorful and had generous portions, enough for leftovers the next day. My husband loved the garlic naan; we could have eaten it alone! The decor is simple yet inviting, making it a nice place to relax after a long day. The owners are warm and welcoming, which made our experience all the more enjoyable. I will be coming back frequently, that's for sure! " (*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.
