Salt Whisky Bar and Dining Room — Restaurant in London

Don’t let the outside fool you. What at first seems a Middle Eastern-themed bar in the Edgeware Road area is in fact one of the top rated whiskey bars and a fantastic place to have your face numbed by a fine Talisker 10 year old whiskey.

I was lucky enough to be invited to a Talisker whiskey tasking at this venue which treated us to a fantastic evening started with a “skye manhattan” cocktail which was comprised of 10yr Talisker whisky, vermouth, bitters and orange peel squirted over it. This fantastic cocktail lead us in to our first tasting.

The Talisker’s 10 year old single malt whisky which we had for the first tasting was likely the first time I had my face melted off by a whiskey. How often really is getting your face melted off a good thing – in this case it was a FANTASTIC thing. Nothing better that that numb effect left from holding the whiskey in your mouth to really get the flavour.

The Talisker Distillers Edition was, I think, a little less face melting, a little more a laaayyyydeeee whiskey. Much easier for me to take, I really enjoyed it and whether holding it in my mouth or just taking delicate sips I really enjoyed the second whiskey but we had yet to have the haggis which we were all looking forward to and after adding some whiskey to the haggis I found a new taste sensation – really nice haggis and really nice whiskey.

Finally we had some CHOCOLATE with our Talisker 57North and finished off the evening in style. A further “Hebrideas old fashioned” which they say was made with Talisker 10 year old, ginger, bitters, honey and orange but hey… I was a bit numb at this point so I can’t vouch for it – and a delicious “cool walker” which had no Johnny Walker in it thankfully but Talisker 10 year old, drambuie, lime juice, and ginger ale making it a long tall and cool drink. Definitely one to order again for the likes of me!

This bar though… THIS BAR… my goodness I have never before seen so many bottles – enough that when I showed my husband what I saw when I was there – two long full walls of shelf upon shelf of whiskey goodness – even he oooed.

For the range of whiskey alone you really have no choice but to give this place 5 stars – at least I do since I have done no tours of anything quite as impressive as...

I rarely have a bad experience anywhere but this was a disaster. We visited yesterday at around 7pm. Bad customer service. Sat down ourselves, got the menus ourselves, even tap water didn't come until asked for again after food arrived. On top of that, the food was not great at all we are happy we didn’t order more. We ordered paneer wrap which was flavourless, dry, lacked in everything such as salt, chilli, general seasoning. Some paneer pieces were hard and uncooked. Even the table next to us had to ask for some chilli sauce, in which the sauce that arrived was super mild. The restaurant has huge potential with the right customer service and chef. When told gentle feedback the waiter was getting defensive as if he was eating the food or as if he had made it himself which topped off the bad experience. Regret not taking a picture to actually show you how uncooked and unseasoned the paneer was. The only good thing there was the music but genuinely any other place would have been better than this. Really disappointing since we wanted to try...

The restaurant is cool itself, great location, ive visited with a bunch of friends over the weekend. Great atmosphere, our server was fantastic, she even recommended some good dishes.. thank you Bianca!🙏🏻 I will definitley go there again, i dont mind paying the service charge as some places still have it added on the bill and nobody mentions anything even if the servers are not helpful. For the amount of work we put our server through and the attention she gave us, we gladly payed and we was not even pushed into anything. I guess people expect a brilliant service for minimum wage, isnt it? And no, thats not what they re payed for.. they re payed to bring food to table and clear up after you, not to cater to your every whim. So dear people who are complaining here, take your head out of your a** and be decent human beings. Food was delicious, love the packed armosphere both inside and out. Great place to chill after a long...
