SALT Introduces Indian Cuisine Expertise to Hyderabad's Dining Scene

Hyderabad’s culinary scene, known for its iconic biryanis, is expanding with the arrival of SALT, a restaurant that promises to offer a wide array of Indian dishes. Already popular in Chennai and Bengaluru, SALT is now bringing its unique approach to Indian cuisine to Hyderabad, focusing on preserving the traditional flavors, aromas, and dining experiences that have won over patrons in other cities.

The restaurant, led by Chef Balaji Balachander, aims to offer an exceptional dining experience that goes beyond the food itself. Co-founded by Chef Bala, Chef Gowtham Balasubramanian, and hotelier Michael Anthony, SALT has been making strides in the culinary world since 2013.

“My mother always says, we have to cook with such love and passion that it brings out real flavors and character to a dish even with simpler ingredients. My team and I follow the same principle in everything we do here, in the kitchen and beyond. This success is not one person’s work but each one of us has put in equal passion to deliver a great dining experience,” said Chef Bala.

SALT's menu spans across India, offering dishes that reflect authentic tastes and comfort the soul. Some of the signature dishes include Subzi Quinoa Seekh, Mutton Seekh, Ras-Bhari Kofta Curry, Tandoori Ratan, Alleppey Fish Curry, Parda Jhinga, SALT’s Special Biryani, SALT Special Dal Makhani, and Avadhi Chicken Korma. The small plates, such as Bambaiya Ragda Pattie, Chettinad Lollipops, and Old Monk Chili Chicken, are also highly recommended.

In addition to the food, SALT also offers a range of innovative cocktails, such as Madhosh (vodka with litchi juice), Angara Martini (vodka with spiced syrup, elderflower syrup, and ginger), Bagh (Gin with lemongrass, curry leaves, and ginger ale), and Nut Khat Bourbon (Bourbon whisky with hazelnut, rosemary, and apple juice).

“For us, Hyderabad represents a vibrant culinary landscape, and we're excited to bring SALT's unique blend of authentic Indian flavors to this dynamic city. We look forward to offering our guests an exceptional dining experience that celebrates the rich heritage of Indian cuisine,” added Chef Bala.

SALT’s approach to Pan-Indian cuisine is a key aspect of its identity, preserving the diversity of India's cultures through its food. The use of traditional techniques and the finest ingredients delivers an immersive dining experience. In Hyderabad, the restaurant plans to cater to local tastes and preferences, further refining and diversifying its offerings.

For those craving a memorable Indian meal, SALT offers a destination where traditional flavors meet exceptional service, now in Hyderabad.
