Bright Indian Food BIF ( Punjabi Dhaba ) (Little India)

Ok so I’m officially/unofficially announcing myself as a ambassador of the Indian food organization. I don’t know how but this year in particular I’ve had more Indian food than I did in my lifetime. This spot is like a food truck/ outdoor dining type of spot. You see all the trucks passing by and see a lot of selfish idiots driving on the exit lane. But annnnywaysss…. Food is great and the service even better. These guys are really kind and respectful. When I see happy people making food I know that the food will be clean and great. Portion is worth it cause I definitely can break this down into two meals. I got the goat curry and vegetable samosa. Curry had very tender meat and full of seasoning. Not oily at all. The samosa was flakey and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. There’s a lot of people walking by and grabbing food. From truckers to even locals. I would support this business again. Chai tea is awesome as well. I paid 18.99 for lamb curry 7.00 for vegetable curry 3.00 for chai tea And $5 tip. See you next time

We placed an advance order today and got the Chana Masala and Saag Paneer for $34, served with a side of rice. The food was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and high quality!

I got the butter chicken super spicy, with a garlic Naan. It was excellent and I would definitely come back next time I am here. It is located just behind the pilot within easy walking distance of the truck parking. I would recommend anyone looking for a restaurant in the area and if you've never tried Indian food this is one of the better Indian food trucks that is within walking distance of truck parking. They have a nice covered outdoor seating area with two wooden picnic tables and it is covered and has a tarp to shield against the wind. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The staff was polite and friendly. I had the butter chicken and Chai tea, both were excellent! They do have a tent set up to keep you out of the weather if you prefer not to eat in your car. I will definitely be back!

I ordered butter chicken and no cream anywhere to be found, I love Indian food but I’m pretty sure it was because of the language barrier that I got something I’m not sure what it was, and also was charged for 2 orders of garlic naan and only got 1

Not worth the price . I got paneer purji ,Daal makhani ,5 roti and 2 partha and they charged me 65 DOLLAR Worst experience I don’t recommend this place to anyone They charged 20DoLLER for parneer purjii And parneer purjii didn’t have any onions or green chilli inside very plane sabzi !!!!!!!!!

We stopped while passing through Salem. We had a very tasty lunch. We tried the Saag Paneer, Shahi Paneer, Butter Naan and Garlic Naan. The food was great. Portions were very much sufficient. They even threw in some Indian pickles and onions, something that we usually eat along with such kind of food. They were very hospitable in also offering me some Indian tea while we waited on our food, while in the cold and rain that was upon us. The people running this food cart were very sweet and friendly. They're from Punjab, India and you can tell that they were great at their skill coz the food was authentic dhaba style. Loved the whole experience. Would definitely recommend this for Indian food if you're in the area.

Soooo I was surviving on fast food for a whole month and then I see this resturant at a truck stop I walk by unfortunately they are closed but I wait and the owner walks in just to check up and serves me just me the best tandoori with rice! If that is not the best customer service tell me what is plus the food was amazing!! Only question that remains is how much should I tip them

A quaint food truck tucked behind well known fast food chains at the Brooks exit truck stop. Easy to find though and ordering ahead is available, but it took only 10 minutes for our on site order to be ready. Yummy samosas with the dipping sauce and a delicious tikka masala, tasting unlike any version I've had before! The garlic naan was not the best I had, but the samosas and tikka masala were fantastic! I would probably still order the naan next time just to see if it was a fluke. We got it "to go" and the server considerately asked if we wanted the curry separately or on the rice. Their portions were generous and what we ordered easily fed two of us! They have a little covered area next to the food truck to eat on site and despite the rain, their space heater made for a cozy waiting area. They have an extensive menu and I look forward to trying many of their other dishes as a return customer!

The service was fine, but the food had spices not usually associated with Indian food. The Butter chicken was not buttery nor creamy. It was just hard on the mouth. The saag paneer was also not delicious. I ate a couple of bites of each then threw the whole thing out. It was extremely spicy but not in a good way. And I had ordered mild/medium. $40 down the trash can.

BIF is a dirty little food trunk at the Pilot gas station in the back area where the truckers park. Authentic food, a bit oily. Not much lamb in the lamb curry. The mutter paneer we had was unlike any I've ever had before. It was just okay. The naan was fluffy and chewy. The samosa were the best item we had. $50 for two curry's and samosas.

We ordered a ton of food . It was all so good! My hubby, the carnivore, had the chicken tikka Masala and the Lamb vindaloo . He said it was delicious. I, the vegan, had Chana masala with vegetable samosas and Spinach Saag. We also ordered rice , garlic naan, and chutney. The portions are large , we will be eating this amazing food for days! The owner was very nice and helpful. I ordered the Saag after I arrived because it looks soooo good. They have multiple vegan options I will be back! They are in the parking lot behind the pilot station. There is a covered area to eat. My phone order was ready when I got there and the additional spinach Saag only took 10 min! Awesome service.

Very hospitable, offered hot tea on a cold day. Food was delicious, and loaded up on the food.

I visit this food truck once every other month while I'm On the road. I love their chicken tikka masala and butter chicken plates. Their homemade samosas are the best I've ever had. The staff is professional and very welcoming. The flavors are out of this world. If you get the chance try the garlic naan and their samosas. Also I like my food spicy and they can make almost any dish spicy. Thanks once again you guys are amazing! They have picnic tables right next to their truck if you don't want to eat in your car.

It's yummy I say I need more meat but I love Indian food so I'm always going say it's good big portions besides the Meat part but overall I'd say has pretty big portions

Oh! Just what you need on a long road trip...the Dhaba feel and taste...a must stop. I tried the paratha with chai and it was yummy.

The only authentic Indian food in Salem, in over 40 miles. Targets truckers - located in truck parking lot. Warm and friendly Sandeep went out of the way to make sure we were fed well. Husband got a chicken burrito, I got dal, rice and veggie paneer burrito.

Really good Indian food and perfect location for truckers since it's right behind pilot. Gave it a try and didn't disappoint. Recommend over just getting fast food it'll make you feel better plus they're nice people and it's a clean place

Ok, so let me just say this is the best Food truck I've ever had and Sandy's customer service is sooo worth the experience. If you're in the area and want authentic Indian food with a true experience of India you have to stop by you won't regret it!!!

Good food, kind service. It is a food truck in a truck stop parking lot, so embrace your sense of adventure and have appropriate expectations. Worth the drive.

Unlike any Indian food I've ever had. The chicken tikka masala sauce was akin to coconut milk with zero spices. I had to add salt just to make it palatable. There was no evidence of the usual Indian spices that give the dish its spicy kick. This literally had no evidence of a single spice! The Saag Paneer was unrecognizable as well. Super happy to find different cuisine available via GrubHub. Unfortunately, I won't be back for this. If you've ever eaten Indian food, this will highly disappoint you. Edible? Yes. Good? No. True Indian food? Noooooo...

I immediately feel sick. They never wash their hands so I should have asked to cancel my order but here we are.

Good was good and service was great. First time trying Indian food and it was awesome

This has the most delicious curry, we come from California and it's a very warm and delicious plate away from home. Great customer service too. Thank you

One of the best Indian food restaurants I've been to. This is a lovely little food truck right off the highway, very unassuming, but man do they have some punch with spice. They do not hold back on medium and hot spice levels-- it's absolutely wonderful to find a place that doesn't pussyfoot around flavor and heat. I happily drive the almost hour to pick up these wonderful dishes!

This is a relatively new Food Truck, next to a Truck stop with plenty of space to hang out with your friends if you'd like. If you're from Delhi and your vibe is to go to a street side cafe and enjoy hot food in your car, this is your scene. I'd go to this place for the experience, but wouldn't expect a sophisticated experience for the palate. The food is not bad, but I'll definitely define it as a true Dhabha style i.e. rustic. Also the portion sizes are humongous.

I thought all of the food was really good and the menu and really extensive. I saw the only other review is of the cleanliness, I'm not sure how that person saw inside, the truck is on a platform.

Wow! Amazing Indian food. So flavorful and delicious. We live in Eugene but will definitely drive up for the next craving

This has been my favorite take out food for the past few months, as well as my sister's. She discovered this gem of a food truck and told me about it, and I'm so glad that she did, because I would not have thought to look for great food options hidden in the Brooks trucking area. Every week or two, we will tell the other of something new that we have tried there, but both seem to always come back to our favorites. For her, it is the butter chicken, which I also love, and my favorite is the chicken tikka masala (asking for spicy). I also highly recommend their garlic naan, vegetable pakoras, vegetable samosas, and any of their wraps. I was less a fan of their curry (too many onions) and their shrimp dishes (the shrimp were smaller than I would have liked), but the things that I do love far outweigh those minor things to earn a 5 star review from me. Plus they have always been very kind and gracious.

Seriously the best Indian food I have ever had. From the side sauces, appetizers, and to the meals everything has always been amazing. Try the mango yogurt drink! It's so good!!! Even my picky toddler loves their food here!

Best Indian food around - just the right amount of spicy . Pakora is excellent and good veggie options

I ordered Bangan Bhartha (Egg plant) with tawa roti. All of the were very delicious. fresh food . they give me also complimentary rice and I order also chai (Tea) food was really good I recommended to new customer you can try the food I hope you're really like it.And good service friendly all worker.

Best Indian food I have ever tried... Shrimp Tikka Masala, Aloo Kulcha and Mango Lassi if it's your first time everything Indian food. I really recommend this spot.
