Salt Indian Restaurant Bar Grill, Whitefield

Click to visit their official website

This review is for a team lunch at this new restaurant in town. One of my colleague reserved this place for 30+ team members.

I was chasing a deadline in office and was in no mood to take a break for a long lunch. But went along with team as part of "good" gesture. 

Cuisine: Indian

Address: 3rd Floor, VR Bengaluru, Itpl Main Road, B Narayanapura, Mahadevapura, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560048
Phone: 080 49652540

Lets come to the point:

Seating arrangement: They ask you to take a seat and food will be served right at your dining table. Isn't it exciting?  The restaurant space is much smaller then you expect.
Read on to find out more.
Price: 650 + TAX , I will rate this as expensive and fine dining restaurant.
Ceremony begins: 30+ members were seated in two rows. It appears we filled up 1/4 of the restaurant space.
Serving process: One of the restaurant staff and identified food preferences (Veg or Non Veg)
Starter Menu: Menu was fixed with unlimited serving, we were served 3 portion of vegetarian starters. Among them I only liked panner tikka.
Main course was: Choice of bread (Naan and Rot), Daal, Mix vegetable and yellow Lentils.

Finally we were served with Biryani, Raita and Desserts

Problem statement:
a. Food was supper spicy, not for every one.
b. Our wait time was frustrating
c. Limited choice of desert
d. Even though staff identified people with preference of vegetarian and non vegetarian choice. They keep on asking vegetarian people choice of Meat (chicken or mutton).

Final blunder:
They served chicken soup to a vegetarian person

Recommendation:  Big No for a team event. Family with younger kids may enjoy the place as they do not have to get up and take food. I am surprised with the reviews on Zomato.
