Salkara — Restaurant in Town of Clarkstown

The food is delicious - made fresh and they accommodate one’s spice levels. The staff are extremely friendly and courteous. The chicken curry, chicken fry, beef fry are outstanding. The fish curry is way too spicy - I ordered sone last time and after they added extra coconut milk, it was great. They didn’t do the same today unfortunately, and it was uncomfortably spicy. I cannot even take a spoon of the fish curry. Besides using less chilly powder, the only other thing I would ask for, is that they provide rice with each dish (like most Chinese do) or a naan/roti/paratha.

I have to edit here. My family was really excited when we heard there was going to be a buffet and an eat-in place. Unfortunately, the place has not been done up nicely - it’s really a dump and the service is still wanting. The management doesn’t seem to have got their act together and now apparently caters only to the Kerala (a state in India) base. The place really needs a cleaning up. Very...

I recently tried the Thalassery Chicken Biryani at Salkara in Nanuet, and it took me straight back to home in Kerala! The flavors were truly authentic—fragrant kaima rice, perfectly cooked chicken, and a beautiful balance of spices without being overpowering. You can tell this isn’t your average biryani—this is the real Malabar-style dish with all its subtle richness.

The chicken was tender and juicy, the masala was layered nicely without being greasy, and the rice was fluffy and aromatic. The raita and pickle on the side were fresh and complemented the dish well.

If you’re from Kerala or missing home-cooked food, Salkara’s Thalassery Biryani is a must-try. I would definitely go back...

Salkara is hands down the best Kerala restaurant I’ve visited in the U.S. It’s been nearly two years since I moved here, and while I’ve tried many Indian restaurants, nothing has come close to the biriyani at Salkara. It instantly transported me back to the authentic Thalassery biriyani I used to enjoy back home.

The portion sizes were generous, and every dish we tried was packed with flavor. The kebabs were delicious, and the Indian breads—especially the all-time favorite Kerala Porotta—were perfectly made. Soft, flaky, and just the way they should be.

Keep up the great work, Salkara team. You’ve truly brought a slice of Kerala...
