Food

Starters & Salad –

Watermelon & Feta Salad – It’s a great way to kickstart your dining experience! The saltiness in Feta was just right which perfectly went with the watermelon. In fact, it’s one of those healthy recipes which will give you a good break from the fried starters which you would usually order in the restaurant!

Fiery Bites – As the name suggests, it had chili peppers, other spices that evoke a desired intraoral sensation. Fans of spicy food, you’re going to be fixated with these Fiery Bites.

Super Dynamite Shrimps – Fabulous dynamite shrimp in a flavorsome zesty sauce were to die for and it was the most incredible dish on the platter.

Mac n Cheese Nachos – This dish is innovative, bursting with flavour and sinfully delectable, loved the crunchiness of the crust! It’s a party in your mouth with the crunchy corn, creamy nacho and mac n cheese.

Citrus Corn on the Cob – This fantastic combination of sweet and citrusy was simply mind-blowing.

Drinks

They say we eat with our eyes first, and these guys know the cooking technique that makes for a pleasing visual feast before the spoon or fork is even picked up. The drinks were crazy with the touch of molecular gastronomy, making it a visual treat.
So, as you all know, molecular gastronomy is a branch of food science that utilizes the principles of chemistry and biology to develop enjoyable food that can be presented in innovative and fascinating ways – solid cocktails, desserts or vegetable foams and bubbles. It’s basically the science of food you thought could only exist in Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory.

Good-ole Mint Mojito –

Classic Pina Colada – Black Salt never failed to amaze us by its presentation. The drink tasted kickass and it stayed true to its gastronomical look.

Jalapeno Watermelon – Doesn’t this combination make you curious to know its taste? Well, we had the same reaction. The sweetness of watermelon and the spiciness of jalapeno took us completely by surprise! This was one of the best coolers at Black Salt.

Berry Smoothie – Smoothies are always welcome and when it comes to berries, there is no doubt about it!

Banana Chocolate Smoothie – This extreme smoothie had delicious ice cream scoops, spritz of whipped cream topped up with a brownie & dished up with a hodgepodge of toppings right from pretzels, candy, hot fudge, broken-up candy bars, sprinklings of fruits, nuts, and gems bursting out from the huge glass.

Main Course

Shish Towk on Paratha – Another interesting dish served to us on a platter. Its got kebabs, fries, salad and a special sauce served on the bed of paratha. This was absolute magic on the plate!

Butter Chicken Chow – This dish has definitely got looks to kill! It’s incomparably juicy and mildly spiced. The dish has a filling of butter chicken inside a huge bun! How cool is that? This is surely exotic looking, with the flavours of home.

Pepper Chicken Pasta – It’s rare that a restaurant can go wrong with the deliciously cheesy fresh Italian pasta. Well, Black Salt does it perfectly well, with fresh fettuccine, parmesan, pepper and spicy chili flakes. The creamy texture and the authentic flavor will surely leave you craving for more.

Veg Pizza – Thin crust, with a spicy tomato sauce spread & covered in rich cheese, spinach, and baked to perfection. This drool worthy pizza is something you really need to try!

Desserts

The desserts looked more like an art on a plate!

Red Velvet Cake – It was moist, fluffy, and has the perfect balance between acidity and chocolate. Topped with cream cheese frosting, its smooth texture, and buttery-rich frosting made it everyone’s hot favorite.

Black Salt Date Cake – This took our dessert experience to next level! Date cake inside a caramelized sugar dome, this definitely sounds interesting and a must try.
