Spice up your life at Salt n Spice

I loved every dish that was served…Chicken Charmoula, Chicken Wrap Prawns, Veg Spring Rolls, Teriyaki Paneer, Chicken and Egg Fried Rice, Pan Fried Fish and Pad Thai Noodles. Just a bite into Chicken Charmoula and I understood that I was in for a very tasty treat! It sure was…the flavour of Chicken Charmoula took me by surprise; boneless chicken was perfectly cooked in coriander paste.

It left me craving for more but there was more to sample. If I were to rate them in order of my preferences I would say…Chicken Charmoula, Pad Thai Noodles ( loved it), Chicken Wrap Prawns …innovatively rich, Teriyaki Paneer, Veg Spring Rolls, Pan Fried Fish cooked with red wine and the Chicken and Egg fried Rice. In fact, each and every item was impressively presented, fresh to taste and good to eat!

"Interesting additions to the food culture of Bhawanipore emerged during the last two decades or so, especially with mixed community vendors selling fast food off carts from around street corners," informs Jaspreet Singh, F&B head at Salt n Spice.

The food being served is more of a fusion spread or rather one should say… ‘comfort food’ which have been created keeping in mind the  traditional preferences for healthy, filling, delicious meals rustled up quickly to cater to a diverse taste.

The menu also undergoes occasional changes where seasonal ingredients are added to make it even more interesting.
