| - Salem's back! The months that they closed for renovations were the most depressing months of my college career. I eat here a lot! I was so excited when I saw that they are open again. Even though they claim that they were under renovation, the place pretty much looks the same. The only difference is the new chef. I was kind of skeptical seeing the new chef, but after seeing the variety of "hot specials" that they had, I was hooked.
So a few changes did occur since the renovation. Now, there are more hot selections to choose from. The price went up a bit, but so did the quality. A serving was around $7-$8. I feel like the place is a lot more organized now...especially the display of food.
For lunch today I had chicken/lamb curry with white rice. I couldn't decide between chicken and lamb so the chef was nice enough to give me a little bit of both. It was definitely a meal of champion...tons of meat, white rice, a side of salad...and tons of meat! The chicken was seasoned beautifully with the right amount of sauce and tenderness. The lamb was cooked to perfection...the meat slid right off the bones. The lamb/chicken curry was not spicy at all; so if you prefer a little kick, ask for some hot sauce on the side. By the way, the portion was huge...lasted me two meals!
In conclusion, the old Salem was good, but the new Salem is even better!
