I really liked the bun parotta it had a comforting feel and the salan was delicious. The payasam was great too. Personally, I think that the chicken rasam soup could have been less spicy but everything else was definately perfect. Also If you are bringing your kids here I want to say that the food has extremely low spice in it . The experience was amazing and the food too. I would definately recomend it 👍

Shiva helped us and he was great! This Southern Indian Food is an absolute gem! Every dish bursts with authentic flavors that taste just like they came straight from South India. The dosas are perfectly crisp, the chutneys are fresh and vibrant, and the sambar has the rich, comforting depth you only find with true home-style cooking. The staff are incredibly welcoming and ensure you feel right at home. If you're craving genuine Southern Indian cuisine, this place is unbeatable. Highly recommended!

The food was very good. It was hot and fresh. I ordered the Gobi 65 and the Paneer Biriyani, it was very very good. The only dish we finished was the Paneer Butter Masala and parotta combo. It was sumptuous , buttery, flavorful and delicious. Shiva was great with his service. Will definitely visit again.

Visited on a Thursday night, and to my surprise, they even had live parotta being made on the spot. Honestly, what can beat a freshly prepared, soft parotta paired with hot, flavorful salna? The taste was amazing and set the tone for the rest of the meal. We followed it up with their RR Special Biryani, and the masala was mild, balanced, and just perfect—not overwhelming, yet full of flavor. Despite having half a biryani, two parottas, and an omelette, the meal felt surprisingly light, which speaks volumes about the quality of ingredients and cooking. Overall, it’s a must-try and definitely a go-to place if you’re craving authentic South Indian food. The service was quick, the ambiance was warm, and the food felt genuinely homely. Highly recommended!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Delicious Authentic South Indian Non-Veg Feast! If you’re a true biryani lover or someone who appreciates rich South Indian flavors, Salem RR is a must-visit! I recently tried their Chicken Biryani, Chicken Kari Parotta, and Mutton Chukka, and every dish was bursting with authentic Tamil Nadu-style taste and aroma. The Chicken Biryani was exceptional — flavorful, perfectly spiced, and cooked with fragrant basmati rice that carried the essence of traditional Salem-style masala. The chicken pieces were tender, juicy, and soaked up all the biryani spices beautifully. What stood out most was the balance — not too oily, not too heavy, yet incredibly satisfying with every bite. The Chicken Kari Parotta was a real showstopper! The flaky, layered parotta paired with spicy, thick chicken gravy was pure comfort food. The kari had that homely, rustic touch with the right blend of pepper, curry leaves, and masala that hits the spot for anyone craving a hearty South Indian meal. And the Mutton Chukka — wow! This dish truly captured the authentic Chettinad-style flavor. The mutton was cooked to perfection — soft, well-marinated, and coated with a dry, roasted masala that was rich and full-bodied. The combination of spices and texture made it one of the best chukka preparations I’ve had in a long time. The restaurant itself is clean and welcoming, with quick service and a warm, down-to-earth vibe. The staff were courteous and made sure the food was served hot and fresh. Portion sizes are generous, and the prices are quite reasonable for the quality and quantity you get. Overall, Salem RR delivers an authentic South Indian non-veg dining experience that’s hard to find elsewhere. If you crave real flavors, not the watered-down versions you often get in city restaurants, this place will make you come back again and again. Highly recommended for biryani and spicy food lovers!

Absolutely loved the food here. Tried this place on our way home to Houston and are glad we picked this place for lunch. Sambar was awesome, parottas were perfect, fish fry was good and chicken biriyani was just right. Will certainly be back for more on our next visit to Dallas/Plano area. New place so there were some teething issues with service but when food is this good you overlook those. Owner of the place was very accommodating and kind. Thank you for an awesome lunch!!

Excellent food! Best Indian food in Plano! Had the fish fry and chicken 65 biryani and it was unbelievable and Shiva gave great service and was on top of our order, refills, and dining experience! Well done!

After longtime came to eat in-person to an Indian restaurant. The food was hot and tastes very awesome. It’s not spicy and authentic. Highly recommend to come in person instead of togo.

The taste was speechless and flavorful. I had fish fry and chicken 65 as a starter. The chicken was juicy and the masala that they were using was made in a traditional way. You can easily understand the flavor of the masala was homemade. Coming to biryani I had chicken biryani and seeragasamba mutton biryani. I am definitely speechless with the taste of the biryani. That was absolutely awesome. The people were so kind and helpful. They welcome us with heartful of smile.

We had Mutton briyani at this Salem RR and it’s absolutely delicious. Taste very good and definitely it’s 10/10. Mutton pieces are also cooked very well and I had the same taste of when I had the mutton Biriyani in Chennai RR Biriyani shop. Chicken 65 is another fantastic dish with the mutton Biriyani. Tried Parota and it’s an another fantastic item. Since they told that it’s a live parota and tried it. Parota and the grey was a top notch . I would definitely say like it’s a must try one here.

Went on a weekday, Ambience looks good with Indian look and vibe. There is not much crowded jut we and a couple of them was there. Food tastes like India. Prime location. Easy to drive. All the menu options are good. Onething is Whatever I asked the server said we are out of stock or not available.

Today, we visited and ordered the fish fry as an appetizer. We also had parota with salan and salem. For the main course, we ordered the special chicken biryani. The food was very tasty, especially the fish fry. Shiva was our server, and he was very responsible.

Service and atmosphere were good, but the mutton biryani was very disappointing. It tasted like plain rice mixed with mutton—no flavor, no aroma, nothing like real biryani. Definitely not what I expected.

I’m a Chennai native and very familiar with authentic Salem RR biryani. Unfortunately, this location did not meet expectations. The mutton biryani tasted more like Thalappakatti style, while the chicken biryani, though made with basmati rice, tasted like plain masala rice, lacking the authentic Salem RR flavor. When a restaurant uses a well-known brand name, I naturally expect the original taste and style, which was missing here. Portion size was another major letdown. Salem RR is famous in Chennai for large, satisfying portions, but here the quantity was very small for the high price. The chicken 65 was extremely dry, and finding curry leaves mixed into the chicken basmati biryani felt unusual and out of place for this style. Overall, this place does not live up to the Salem RR name. As someone who truly knows the authentic Salem RR taste, I was totally disappointed.
