1.About Place- Located at the heart of the city , in Astelly Hall, near Mc Donalds. Salt and cravings is undoubtedly one of the best (yet underrarted) fine dines of Dehradun. A small food place to cater your 'all- mood' food needs. From fresh bakes to brews, from customized starters and main course to freshly made dessert, this place has it all. Their 'open kitchen' concept is sure to serve you the best and unique culinary experience. Well open kitchen not only ensure the transparency but at times also provides you the opportunity to alter or customize your order(even last minutes- because you can see at what stage your order is at, ). Appears to be an expensive experience(per se ) in terms of charges, but personally nothing more than what any descent food place ought to charge. This place is among few (and the best) places in Doon ,be it family get togethers, a date, or even a formal meeting.
2.About Food- Amazing food experience. Ordered and tried a few things from their wide list of items from their menu. If i say they have amazingly exotic menu, i won't be hyping at all.
Tried- The spanish white garlic and tortilla soup (5/5) .Even the simplest of the soups like lemon coriander noodle soup was amazing.(4/5) My another absolute favourite was 'Grilled Fish Garlicky with lemon butter sauce'. It was heavnly, theFish was well cooked but the sauce took the cake.. it was insanely amazing.(5/5) other specialities- mezze platter, pasta, cheese cakes and other fresh bakes. If you visit this place- don't forget to include these...
Read moreWe visited Salt and cravings recently with high hopes based on friends’ recommendations. The ambiance was pleasant and the staff were friendly, but unfortunately our experience fell flat when the platter of mixed starters arrived noticeably cold.
When we flagged it with our server, they took it away to be reheated. We appreciated the effort, but it came back cold again—same temperature as before. That was disappointing, especially for a platter designed to be enjoyed hot. We were excited to eat but the taste and texture suffered when the food wasn’t warm.
We weren’t trying to be unreasonable—but we felt the kitchen might have rushed it or under-prioritized plating temperature. A quick check with a kitchen timer or having a warmer holding station could help ensure dishes reach the table at the right temperature.
Overall, the concept is good and the staff handled themselves well, but cold food really impacted our enjoyment. We hope the management can address this to elevate what otherwise seems like a...
Read moreMy family & I visited Salt & Cravings today afternoon after reading online reviews. It turned out to be surprisingly good experience for my family . The food was well made and delicious. We had ordered chicken Minestrone soup, Chicken Arabiata Penne Pasta, Veg Mezze platter, Sri Lankan curry, Cilantro Lemon Grilled Chicken along with dark chocolate pastry and tiramisu . I have to say there's a diverse variety of international cuisine here . I loved the open kitchen concept wherein you can see fresh preparation made by the chef. The food was delicious. All the COVID protocols were being followed by the restaurant. The staff was courteous and prompt. Overall a great experience, a must visit place if you are longing for good...
