Great place for candle light dinner. Bit expensive, but really worth it for money. Try BBQ chicken sizzler and flavoured lassi.

I have been thinking about trying the food at this restaurant. Finally i went today and tried the food over here. The quality and taste is good. I had Malabar paratha and kadhai mushroom and really liked the way the how it is prepared. The price is little bit higher but for a fine dining restaurant it is fine. The restaurant specializes in Indian cuisine.

Being a strict vegetarian I had many different choices of vegetarian items..totally different I had never before. Mirchi baingan salan was hyderbadi style with milder spicier peanut sauce...garlic naan was very thin good for apetite . Veg biriyani was really awesome hyderabadi dum style with mild flavors.. this restaurant was a pleasant surprise inside a mall.. A big applause to the chef.. please go with your family. Must visit..

We were a group of 7 who had booked a table for dinner. The reservation was prompt. Coming to the food, there was a South Indian food festival going on and few orders from that menu like vaazhaipoo kola urundai, paneer kuchi varuval were really good. Our other orders included tilwali baby corn, dahi ke kebab which were also pretty good. For the main course, we ordered karaikudi veg rice, butter naan, roti and palak paneer which were excellent. No qualms about the food. Our final orders were the mocktails which never arrived after even after a wait of 25 mins. On being asked, the response was pretty blunt that the order was being taken up only then and no apology was given. The waiters can be a little more warm and friendly.

#foodreviews #SALT #Forummall

So, this visit to 'SALT', at Forum Mall, was long overdue, and true to form they did not disappoint at least in taste.😊

They were as usual jam packed, on a Sunday evening, and after a few minutes wait, we got seated.

Now, we have had really good experiences here before, but today, the staff, though courteous, were a bit absent minded.

Nevertheless, our order was as follows:
Starters
Our first dish was 'Vayal Nandu Ras', a delicate dish of minced crab meat with a tangy soup. The presentation of this dish was classic, but for the price (275/-) way below expectations. This was from their special on Tamil week!
Second we ordered Calcutta Fish Vara (375/-). This was really tasty with a combination of fish and dal shaped like vara served with a beetroot dip and mustard dip. In fact, this was the highlight of our meal.

Mains
'Khas Methi Murgh' (425/-) a simple chicken curry with fresh methi leaves was well paired with butter naan (95/-).
Their Biriyani is something we really like so ordered 'Chicken 65 Biriyani' (425/-). Highly recommended, as the chicken was well marinated and soft.

Dessert
This was new for us but is sure going to be a hot favourite. 'Elaneer Panacota' (195/-). A coconut Panacota with a gauva paste. The proof was definitely in the pudding😋

Though the food was good, the prices seem to have been increased. Not in proportion to the servings. It makes one feel unsatisfied, especially with starters.
Maybe, if they cater to number of people per dish, it would make it easier when ordering. In our first starter, there were only four pieces to a plate. And we were three.
It is not really possible to taste completely, especially when the quantity is miniscule.
Diet coke was a whopping 125/- which was quite surprising really as compared to the 30/- in the market.

This is a place you can visit, if you want an authentic taste. Their cooking style has more of the Bengal flavour so for us, it is very welcome.

But overall, they need to improve on their quantity and service.

Hi had recently been to this place and had a horrible experience. The soup came after the starters, the main food was cold and on top of the desert order didn’t turn up even after 20mins and when asked they said they had missed it earlier. This happened on saturday 4pm when there was not much crowd and the servers were idle and chatting around. Overall the service quality has degraded significantly. I doubt whether i’ll go here again with this ignorant attitude.

We went here for lunch. Though nothing to complaint about the taste, prices of each dish are way up high compared to the portion they serve. We ordered Saffron Murgh Malai Tikka, Cheese Naan, Chicken 65 Biryani, Andhra Chilli Chicken and Chicken Hungama Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted good. Another call off apart from the price was, when the staff placed the plates on our table it was a little dirty, it would have been much better if they wiped the plates with tissue before placing it to the diners (can take this as a suggestion as well). Overall it was 4/5 for us. 1 point less for the price and dirty plates.

Nice ambience with courteous staffs. Delicious food.
We ordered the following:
1) Special Chicken 65 Biryani - The Biryani had great flavour with very tender perfectly cooked chicken. The masala was not too flavourful but was perfectly blending with the rice. Side with raita. This was just too perfect.
Taste: 5/5 Price: 4/5
2) Railway Chicken Curry - chicken in the gravy was so so tender. Haven't had such great tasting gravy before. I just enjoyed the gravy with soft Rotis.
Taste: 5/5 Price: 4/5
3) Citrus Mint Cooler - this was good but after trying their Biryani and curry was expecting it to be perfect. I have tasted better mint coolers.
Taste: 3/5 Price: 4/5
Overall: Just enjoyed this place. Great place to dine in with family when you visit the Forum Mall. Service was too good. Keep it up!

The food was really good and we enjoyed all the dishes. We had a different expectation with elaneer payasam and hence felt it wasn't upto mark.
The chicken 65 briyani and aloo kheema briyani were absolute class - rich in aroma and not too spicy.
Suprisingly the quantity, which didn't seem a lot when dishes were brought to the table, were in actually quite filling.
Dinesh, who waited on our table, was very courteous and gave us a good service.

The ambiance is absolute love. It's a nice comforting niche spot decked away in a bustling mall.
We were very warmly greeted by the staff and seated immediately. We went there for a weekday lunch, so it wasn't very crowded and noisy.
We ordered using Zomato Gold.
The food was rather underwhelming. If I had to put it in 1 line, I'd say "It wasn't too bad".
Value for money- The service is definitely too good, so I guess we can't really take an unbiased call

Salt is one of the few places in Chennai with some absolutely scrumptious Mughlai food. They never miss the mark on their tandoori items. Their seekh kebabs are to die for. Definitely give the place a try.

Mango day spring, malai broccoli and prawns starter were nice. But, the biryanis can definitely be better. Though they were not bad but they definitely didn’t taste like Hyderabadi as the name said. Also, the prices are really high compared to the quantity that they provide. Ambience was really nice.

Taste of food is definitely very good but at a high price. Must try resturant. Don't get shocked with the price. Few points to note 1. Service charge of 10% will be charged on your bill, beware of it. 2. Water bottle with an MRP of INR 20 will be billed at INR 60. During my last visit, veg clear soup was very salty after complaining they waived off the cost in the bill. Staffs are friendly.
