India Palace, Salem, OR P227
 
A Top Pick for Best Value
 
I've eaten the buffet at this restaurant several times and it's always tasty, if not particularly inspired. 

This is, after all, a good Indian restaurant in the middle of downtown Salem with its nearest rival 35-40 miles away in Portland or Beaverton. 

Nothing on the buffet is too spicy, but selection is essentially limited to 8 items including Naan bread and the ever-popular tandoori chicken.  Sometimes there is a "spinachy" dish, a lentil dish, a chicken and potato dish...and others which I can neither spell nor pronounce...but for $5.95 it's a good deal. 

If you just wanted to try the innocuous tandoori chicken and Naan bread, there's plenty of "American style" salad and fruit to make the meal worth $5.95...a price which includes a bottomless glass of the soft drink of your choice. 

Food: B. Ambiance: A-C...the Indian music can get a little weird. Attitude: A...nice folks. Parking: Can be a serious problem due to the nature of downtown Salem. Service: Self-serve. Value: A+.
