We visited Salt- Nexus Shantiniketan recently on a Sunday afternoon. The ambience was quite a let down as the lighting was not sufficient and the space wasn't effectively utilised. However the musician on the mic performed incredibly well and evoked a beautiful sense of nostalgia as he crooned to Bollywood songs from three 2000s. When it comes to good, we ordered their Cheese and Olives naan for starters which were delicious. In mains, we ordered a lacha Paratha, garlic naan and paneer tikka hare pyaz. Though tasty enough, did not justify the price attached to them. Their desserts felt quite underwhelming in comparison to other fine-fine restaurants in Bangalore which boast very skillfully curated and delectable dessert spreads. We had their chocolate cheesecake and gulab jamun tiramisu. On the whole, we had a satisfactory experience at Salt.
Went to SALT for a Sunday night dinner.
The place was full but we were seated in a very short time.
We ordered the Lal-Bagh Tomato & Basil Shorba. It was delicious, hot, and perfect for a rainy cold evening. Masala papad was yummy and loaded with peanuts. For a peanut lover like me, it's heaven!
For starters we had the Paneer Hara Matar tikka. Soft paneer tikka stuffed with spice peas stuffing. It was slightly spicy for my palette but my companions enjoyed it. Main course was Lasooni methi paneer mutter and butter garlic kulcha and rotis. The Lasooni methi paneer mutter was definitely not what I had expected. It was a pleasant surprise. Perfectly cooked, balanced flavour and good portion size. Kulcha was slightly burnt but was fresh and hot when served.
To accompany the food we ordered Orange Virgin Mojito and Orange Iced Tea. Both the drinks were refreshing.
The best part of the dinner was the Filter Coffee Crėme Brûlée. It was light, just enough sweet, and had the taste of the perfect filter coffee decoction in every bite. It was plated beautifully too.
Ambience is good. We sat in the open seating area. Music and lighting made the experience warm.
Service was prompt and as quick as possible with Sunday night crowd. The service staff was polite and efficient. When our order got served to another guest, we didn't have to wait long for our order.
Overall a wonderful experience. Definitely going back for the shorba and the Crėme Brûlée.
Went out with the office colleagues to dine in. They have both indoor and outdoor sitting. Lovely ambiance with decent drink/food options to opt for.
The overall experience was good and I would recommend this one to the folks with family as well.
