Grain of Salt is, without a doubt, one of the top three Indian restaurants in the region! The food is simply exceptional. The Badami Murghi is a masterpiece—rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The Lamb Biryani is equally outstanding tender, aromatic, and bursting with authentic spices
What truly sets this place apart, though, is the service. Sachin amazing!! providing impeccable service and making sure our experience was flawless from start to finish. We were a group of 12 people and he managed to provide us with an outstanding service.
Grain of Salt is a must-visit. I can’t recommend it enough!
Let me know if you’d like to refine it further!

I dined at Grain of Salt and was impressed by their Badami Murgi and Saffron Rice. The chicken was tender, with rich, nutty flavors from the almonds, and the saffron rice was fragrant and perfectly cooked. The dishes were both delicious and comforting, showcasing authentic Indian spices with a modern twist. A fantastic experience overall!

Grain of Salt Indian Cuisine: A Culinary Gem Worth Visiting!
If you're searching for authentic Indian flavors served with warmth and care, Grain of Salt Indian Cuisine is an absolute must-visit. From start to finish, the dining experience here is a delightful journey through the rich and diverse tastes of India.
We began with a selection of appetizers, including crispy Pakoras, flavorful Manchurian, and perfectly spiced Paneer Tikkas. Each dish was accompanied by a variety of fresh chutneys that elevated the flavors to a whole new level.
The main course was equally impressive, featuring traditional dishes like Maratha Curry, creamy Dal, and the indulgent Paneer Curry. These paired perfectly with a variety of breads, from soft Rotis to the aromatic Garlic Naans all served hot and fresh.
What truly stole the show, however, was the chai—rich, aromatic, and perfectly brewed. It was the perfect way to round off an exceptional meal.
The ambiance of the restaurant is inviting, and the staff are attentive and welcoming, ensuring you feel like a valued guest throughout your visit. Whether you're a connoisseur of Indian cuisine or trying it for the first time, Grain of Salt offers a dining experience you won’t forget.
If you're in the mood for authentic Indian flavors, this restaurant should be at the top of your list. Highly recommended!

Grain of Salt has been our go-to place for Indian vegetarian cuisine. They have most of the commonly eaten dishes but every one of them is freshly prepared and has a unique taste. They serve non-veg as well but we have never tried it. Their service is great and pretty fast. All their main course items come with either 1 naan, rice or 1 roti which make it a little economical due to less number of items to order. Last time we ordered Kadhai Paneer (which is ideally a 3 star on spiciness but they customised it to mild for us and it tasted great) along with Naan, 2 rotis and mango lassi. The Mango Lassi tasted like it should. They offer papad, mint chutney and tamarind chutney as complimentary starters. The best part is how silent it is even with guests. It is frequented by a multi-cultural population which shows how well accepted it is. I recommend it for everyone looking to try out North Indian food.
Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options. However, it's not a pure veg restaurant
Dietary restrictions: They customize as per your requirements. 1 star is mildly spicy and 3 stars is hot. "G" is the restaurant's signature dish
Wheelchair accessibility: The plaza is wheelchair accessible. The restaurant has standalone tables and booths.
