Honestly, I wouldn’t call this a zoo — it’s more like a large park with a few animals and birds and a children’s play area, making it a nice spot for a quick family outing. Entry fee: ₹50 for adults, ₹20 for kids, and 1 adult can carry a kid for free — quite budget-friendly! There’s also ample car parking, which is a plus. The animals include deer, foxes, tortoises, crocodiles, peacocks, and a variety of birds. It’s located close to Yercaud mountains, so you could even plan this as a stop on your way there. Ideal for families with kids, you can spend around 2-3 hours here — a peaceful, short, and refreshing visit!

Great place to visit with family. Kids will enjoy the time playing along with some hello's from different animal friends. Peacocks here will definitely grab your attention. Best spot for having great photos. A small canteen and ice cream stores are available along with some local fruit vendors. If you are the one looking for some peace and calm from a daily routine, then it's a must visit place to enjoy some greens and fresh air

I visited this zoo while coming down to Salem from Yercaud. This quiet little place is nicely pecked away at the foot hills of Yercaud, surrounded by lush green forest. It appears to be recently renovated and very strict about not allowing plastics. I’m quite surprised to see that they also have safari in electric bricks with nominal fare of 50 per adult and 30 per child. They take you Around the zoo for 30-45 mins. The driver who came with us was very patient and waited enough time for sightseeing. There ample Parking space for car. I think they should start adding more sections other prominent animals like Elephant, Tiger, etc. Take care of your belongings from Monkeys

It's a good Zoological park for kids , It was about 40 Acres but only few animals are there like Crocodile(3nos), Few Kada Maan and Pulli Maan, cockatiel, love birds, only one python snake, some Monkeys , Peocock( regular and white) , Tortoise, some animal statues., But they are in planning and construction going on. Can visit for entertaining kids and zoo with local .. Researched that it was promoted from small scale to medium scale ZOO.., There was a kids play area , it was good

I like this Place From my childhood days to Now. There are not many animals but they have several. If you want to spend alone, it's a good place.

Nice place for kids to enjoy. Parking facility available. Entry fee 50 per person. Well maintained. Separate zone for kids to play. Foods are not allowed inside the zoological park.

This is not a zoo and just a park with some birds like parrot. Not worth the entry ticket too. Please avoid this. Below is the list of animals and birds. 2 fox, few deers and monkeys. Peacock, parrot, crocodile, flamingos. Waste of money and time. Have two parks located here and that was good to spend time with family if you come with kids.

This temple or set of temples are situated in a small hill. 1007 lingams are placed as a border of the hill.and 1008th is the main deity. There are separate temples for Perumal, Anjaneyar, Ramar and RajaRajeswari. Evening time it will be better to visit. You can also drive the vehicles to all the temples or of ok, can walk to all the temples. A bug rajagopuram was under construction before sivan temple. Arupadai Murugan status and many other statues are also placed. Not much crowded though. Can visit if you ate there. There is no historic reference or background to this temple. Constructed and run by private institutions.

1008 Lingam Temple is located in Ariyanoor, which is a suburb of Salem city on a hillock near Kunjmaala. The temple is managed by a separate dept. of Vinayaka Mission. The temple was constructed in 2010. The temple has 1007 lingams which surrounds the main shiv temple, which has the 1008th lingam with the holy cow Nandi’s statue in front. For visiting the temple, you have to go on Sangagiri to Salem highway, just after crossing the institutions of Vinayaka Mission. When you cross the gate of Temple, you can see an enormous statue of Ganesha at the foothills. The security guard is very helpful and guides you to the road you have to take for going on the top. You can take your vehicle to the top of the hillock, but if you walk you can enjoy the scenic surroundings and visit each lingam and offer your prayers. Every lingam is named after the thousand names of the Lord Shiva. While walking or driving your vehicle to the top, you can also catch a glimpse of the Sangagiri Mountains. These mountains and the surrounding greenery create an ethereal sense of peace and serenity in your mind and soul. In addition of the lingams, the beautiful sculptures of Lord Muruga are interspersed in the area and are maintained very well by the administrators of the temple. On the top of the hillock, you can see a magnificent and huge main statue of Sri Umaiyambigai Samedha Sri Arunachala Sundareswara. The height of lingam is said to be about 17 meters. The main statue is said to be the true jewel in the crown of the hillock. The temple management has provided all the facilities for the people. They have also allowed cameras and video cameras in the temple.

Peaceful atmosphere. Lots of smaller temples within the larger temple. 1008 Shivas was a unique visual experience. Can be kept cleaner though.

A very famous popular temple in salem which is located on ariyanur.There is a 1008 sivan idols which was very beautiful and the place was so peaceful with a good atmosphere.There are many small temples on the hill.Nice temple to visit.

Nice experience. Located in Ariyanoor, 10 km from salem new bus stand. Well maintained by Vinayaka missions foundation.

Very great temple to visit. 1008 shiva lingas and Raja Rajeswari temple. Worth visiting.

Very old temple very big statue of shivling and nandi

Even weekday visits to the temple is busy. Took 30mins for aarathi. Always a good vibe to be there. Always welcome and recommended to everyone to visit when you are around there. Super crowded during festival season and weekends.

Small Temple near Salem Old Bus Stand. Temple was neat and clean. Lots of Mosquitoes in and around the Temple. Can't sit even for a few minutes.

Very old temple well kept of Mariamman in centre of Salem. Clean and devine

It was just wow 🤩 from my first time visit to this temple. It was really beautiful and amazing temple 🛕 the Gopuram was huge and beautiful. It’s in heart of the city. Must visit temple when your in Salem city. Car parking they charge 30rs.

400+ years old temple located in main city. Renovated recently. Easy to reach from the old bus stand. The main god of this temple is amman. Initially built during Chera's ruling period. After so many struggles and judicial hearings the temple construction was started in the year of 2015 and after 8 years it got completed. The festival season for this temple is mid of August. The parking facilities can be arranged properly. Overall experience is good.

Very good amman temple which is located back to the Old bus stand Salem.Temple was so good and amman🙏🥹 .

I visited this Temple a year Ago. I still remember the time of calmness with my Family and the vibration in the Rocks. The construction process was going on then to fulfill the Complete Architecture of the Temple. After the Construction is done, I would like to visit the Temple again😁

Grand temple being built, this would be new land mark in Salem, Hospitality is awesome. The Prabhus at there are very kind and supportive. Aarti, Kirtana and Prasadam are unforgettable.

Grand temple project with very hospitable and supportive management. Temple is being built from pure stone, according to ancient architectural science, with so many spiritual, educational and cultural elements incorporated. Even the present facilities are amazing - real mural paintings on the walls, prasadam cooked exclusively on wood, daily worship from 4.30 am till 8.30 pm. Best place to get authentic spiritual knowledge.

The construction works are still going on but you can still visit and pray. If you are bringing kids please bring mask to avoid the dust from the construction..The road to the temple is narrow, please be mindful if you are coming in bus or van. Once completed the entire landscape will be changed.

Good place for peace and silence prayers for lord krishna. And this ashram is still under construction. So they will open this place for public in a huge space which like to be in bangalore and chennai. This place located in bypass road with 1km from main road. I Have attached few clicks of the ashram construction and present place!!! Added recent update after years with photos !! Maybe I will try to update the progress in the near future as well.

Temple Construction is in progress. All structure's and pillars are being constructed with Granite and Marble. Very clam place. After completion it will be nice place to visit.

Iskcon lord Krishna temple under construction, located near to karuppur salem. One of the beautiful architecture designs, I have seen Bangalore iskcon temple but this one is my favourite. This temple is pure bliss for lord Krishna bakthas, The peaceful vibe surrounds us after entering this temple. Can't wait to see the temple after all construction works are completed.

Was here a couple of days ago and for a super early breakfast. The experience was peaceful and the food scrumptious. Loved everything that I had, except for the chutney. Such a balanced meal and the options were a balance of East Meets India. The staff here are extremely polite, keep checking on you for any need you may have. What could be better - paper towels in the wash area.

Reaching - on the highway , but need to cut across the road. Be careful. Parking - plenty Food - we ordered alacarte. The lunch buffet was 1000/- + GST. Chicken biryani - light and hot. Chicken was tender and well done. If you like your biryani a little fatty then you may not like it as much. Prawn ghee roast - ( review by dad as I did not have ) the marinating is insufficient hence the prawns feel almost seperated from the gravy. Mutton fry - too much marinade the taste of mutton lost completely. Raitha - was perfect , almost homemade. Not watery , not too thick just was missing some chilli there. Curd rice - came too late so got it packed and was taken by a relative so can’t review. Service - afternoon seems a very busy time. The staff are coordinating the buffet and in more than one table I notice alacarte orders delayed. Guests walking up to the waiters and requesting to check on the orders. Also waiting time for food is about 20min ( so don’t come in hungry and expect order to come in fast)

Nice ambience with courteous staff. The spread was nice with dishes to spike your culinary buds. We went for Sunday brunch which was 1650 exclusive of tax. It was a good experience with family friendly vibes

The breakfast buffet was excellent. My daughter liked the veg omlette and veg clear soup very much. There were a wide variety of dishes. Dosas, Paniyaram from the live counter were yummy. Salman's service was good. Kambu koozh was a surprise dish found very rarely these days in restaurants. Elaneer payasam as the dessert was a good one. Good table service. Cucumber juice was very fresh but strawberry shake was the tastiest. Coffee served was not hot enough and was too strong for our liking.

We dropped in for breakfast on our way to Bangalore from Kodaikanal We were pleasantly surprised to see such a great buffet spread, with an excellent choice of food.... traditional South Indian as well as Continental...... and all fresh and tasty Special mention must be made of the service.... Mr Salman took great care of our requests...... like eggs well done, extra strong tea. He is a thorough professional Will definitely come back to Tangerine whenever we visit Salem

Wonderful stay at Radisson Salem!!! A vigorous team and great staff that made our stay lovely… A special mention to PARI in Tangerine restaurant for making sure we have been served well!!! Keep up the good work team!!!

Visited the place for Mangalore festival. Food could have been better. Ambience is great, staff is awesome. Looking forward to visit on a day when the normal menu is being served. Have heard some good things about this place.

Great place to socialize with privacy. Courteous and friendly staff and a great atmosphere to spend the night. Must visit if you prefer fine dining in privacy. Buffet is worth it with high quality food but more variety would be welcome

We had a good experience in Grill by Promenade in Radisson Salem. Liju and Gopi attended our table and customised our request for the grill and the food was delicious. The sous chef Koteeswaran dropped by to check on us frequently if we were ok with the food. The overall experience was good.

Excellent food. Tasty. They serve only Dinner, Grill items. Service is good, peaceful. Out door seating, might be humid sometime, during summer. Gopi provided good service.

Wonderful and open air ambience. Friendly staff and service. Beautiful interiors. Nice choices of starters and salad/desserts. Tasty grilled starters, salad and desserts. Main course was just Nawabi Biriyani and Naan/roti + dal makhani, which was average. They also have mocktails and drinks. A bit expensive since it's in Radisson, but I would prefer this over other grills like Barbeque Nation, Absolute Barbeque etc. Good place to spend a few nice hours with family. 10% discount with the Radisson members card, which I forgot to avail.. lol.

We were looking for candle light dinner for our anniversary and got recommended of this place. Booked late afternoon and they accommodated my request. When we went we were totally surprised by the decoration and the hospitality. Kripa was the manager who checked us often.all those who waited and served us did an awesome job. They had a cake and wished us with a song. They took pics and surprised us with a greeting and printed photo of us when we left. Totally flawless and had such a wonderful time. On top of this,their food was fantastic. Overall a place you could surprise your loved ones without a doubt. The chef personally wished us and got the feedback. Thanks #grillsbythepromenade for such a nice hospitality.

Ambience is great. Food is average not worth for 1500. Need to add more starters and desserts.

Great open sir restaurant. Freindly staff. Wide range of grill.

Located in salem bypass. Recommended for non veg foods. Mutton bone soup is must try. Non veg meals also recommended. Variety of non veg items available. Food quantity is small when compared to the price. Few items above the normal price. Rest room available. But not accepting cards and even QR code. Forcing to pay by cash or mobile number transfer only . Even though they have 3 card machine. Free car parking available. Overall ok. Service staffs are kind.

This hotel which is the Chennai highway has poor service. I did a take away. The guy who is taking was least bothered on my order. He was busy on something else. I waited for 10 mins and then he took the order as if he is giving free. It took nearly 30 mins to get my 4 idilis and 2 fish fry. I waited outside and at the time of delivery, the delivery boy noticed that they packed only 1 fish instead of 2. Then again went inside get it. After few minutes he checked again and gave the package. So, when you’re receiving the take away, check the boxes particularly for the number of fish if you are ordering more.

The food was really awesome and tasted really good. The service is good but would be more helpful if they could talk in little bit Kannada, English or Hindi, but I would not blame them as they are local guys and they have their own constraints. The taste of the fish, chicken and mutton is finger licking. We had Vanjaram Fish which was very fresh and nicely cooked by the cook. The biryanis which we took were 2 mutton and 2 chicken, chicken was good good and mutton should have been cooked for another 5 minutes more and it would have tasted even better

We stopped here while driving to Coimbatore and the stop was worth it. The restaurant itself is easy access from highway and they have a huge parking lot. They also have clean restrooms. The restaurant may look crowded but they are upgrading and lots of tables available inside. Surprised to see lots of helpful staff ready to take your order as seen as you sit down. The restaurant is known for its non veg food and siraga samba rice Biriyani , so you can go wrong with your order. Wr ordered mutton, chicken and egg Biriyani and also some lollipop chicken and mutton Sukka. The mutton sukka goat pieces felt a bit touch to eat than the Biriyani pieces. Since we were travelling the Biriyani itself felt heavy and sufficient. No need of any extra sides unless you have an appetite. The cost was around Rs. 240 for chicken Biriyani and Rs. 330 for mutton Biriyani. Definitely a place to have non veg food If you are travelling on the highway. They also have a soda and juice shop where you can order sodas to help with digestion. :)

Overrated mess. The high ratings on Google and YouTube don't align with my personal experience. We went on a short trip to Yercaud and decided to try Selvi mess after a lot of Google search. The branch we tried on the Aathur highway has a waiting area and ample parking space, which is the only plus. The food was very average. The waiter recommended us to try meals instead of Biryani. However, the meal was also average. The gravy and all lacked richness, failing to deliver the expected South Indian cuisine. The prices were ok for the average quality of the food. Those seeking authentic flavors will get disappointed. I even bought snacks from their mithai shop and the taste was not good. Badam Halwa is 10 days old with expiry date on the same day we visited.

Good ambience, food was tasty, loved the porota set, we order chicken curry dosa, kalaki,chicken liver and mutton chukka, except for mutton chukka everything is nice. And there is ample parking space

You will get one of the best Biryani of south india , Parrota, Dosa ,kal dosa and chicken chuka was also Good , near and well maintained hotel ,with good and friendly staff, Situated near highway, ample amount of seating capacity and large parking area

I was looking for a relaxed place to eat and have a mocktail while returning to Coimbatore from Yercaud, and this spot had a really nice ambience. I tried a refreshing cherry based mocktail, which was quite good. The service was decent. Among the food, the lotus stem stood out as the best. I also had a rice and curry sizzler, which was decent, and a kebab that was good. Overall, the food was good but not exceptional. However, the ambience truly made the experience enjoyable.

Fresh baked pizza from oven is must try. Ambience is friendly, service is delightful and the space is cosy as well classy. Would like to visit this place often with friends.

Everything is good. But bartender was little rude. Why show attitude in this business? They strictly denied to play music. We are only supposed to watch loud extra innings and cricket eventhou we were their only guests

I’ve been coming to this place for past 5 years but when I went there for the last time, the service was too bad. The reason for paying such a huge amount for this place is to experience the ambience and have good time with friends. But there’s this bartender who just rushes you out as if she’s giving drinks for free. Very disrespectful and didn’t expect this from a reputed place like this. This was not the first time. For the past 2 times she was showing lots of attitude and I don’t wanna mention her name. I kindly request the management to take care of it and give their customers best experience instead of treating them bad like this.

Urban Dhaba is located in Park Plaza. 4 km from Salem new Bustand and 2.9km from Salem railway junction. It has Great ambiance. And their service also Great . Perfect place for Hangout with friends.

The overall experience and food was all great but bartender Meena kind off ruins the mood it happend a couple of times not only for me but few of my friends felt the same!

Beautiful place awesome location on the rooftop ( except the PINK & BLUE lights wrapped around at the far end are pathetic and disturbing, we decide to sit near it and settled and after a drink it started irritating, looks cheesy and sleazy the pink & blue lights) Ordered 3 large and 3 starters. Never got served in time (we waited for 1 hour from 8 p.m and after checking almost a hour later that the Order was taken by Mr. Mohan ( who was trying to upsell Don Julio tequila to my wife in her margarita which would cost Rs.1500 for the cocktail) and conveniently forgot. We ordered Mutton chukka, Kandhari Prawn and panniyaram we wanted to order a 3 starters but decided against the 3rd one. The Sou Chef did not know what Kandhari is. They served some thing from the Buffet and garnished because they realised after 1 hour that the order was not placed. The five star hotels manage things very well, but I was not. I was 3 large drinks down with snacks and boiled nuts ( highly recommended). My wife had to go go back to the room and ordered room service. It was a special day for me and I was prepared to not let this event screw up my day. So I stepped out of the Radisson and walked to SELVI MESS right outside and had a sumptuous food at a fraction cost and the food was out of this world. I had a great day. Thanks to SELVI MESS.

Had south meals, chapati and subji. Meal was decent. Serice was little bit slow. I will recommend to have meals as it was very tasty. Kids enjoyed in open area and small park.

Quantity and quality of food served here is pretty decent. The ‘Panankalkandu paal (milk)’ I had here was superb. The crispness of Rava dosa was perfect. The chutneys were good, but sambar needs improvement. Their service is really good and they have courteous staff. Excellent location.

Fresh Hot Soft Fluffy Spongy Idlis delivered in a hygienically packed condition. Price was a bit higher even after considering the delivery charges, so only 4 stars ⭐

I have ordered mushroom biryani The taste was average and the quantity is very less, the rate little High.

Situated opposite side of the new bus stand. Was one of the regularly visited hotel many years when I was in Salem long ago. Visited during November 23. The hotel remains the same. Not much modifications. Quality and taste also remain the same. Cost is little high only. There is no car parking in the front.

A very good stop for good food, easily accessible from the highway. The prices are affordable and the quantity of food per serving is good. There is ample parking space and clean toilets. The service is quick but not hurried. There is AC and no-AC seating.

Food and service was good. But the ambience was dark, maybe due to the new flyover. Don't order parota kuruma it is typically the size of coin parota ( see pic ) and charging 70+taxes for that is not at all acceptable. Sambhar rice and Gobi 65 were good . RESTROOM IS EXTREMELY POOR 😐😐😐 Seriously they need to take care of it
