“SALTT”- A Must Have!



 Pre-covid If you had asked me to travel down to Karjat for a gourmet restaurant, I would have probably denied. But, since we've been limited in our travel, it's become even more clear that there are numerous locations closer to home! Mumbai certainly does not provide the distinct feeling that Saltt does, which is just a short drive away and offers a high-quality dining experience in Karjat! Aaliya Ahuja, 22, decided to build 'Saltt' on her family's farmhouse, and it's the perfect spot for a weekend vacation!

 

The Ambiance - It 's like being on Vacation!!

This rustic bistro has its roots on the Ahujas' farmland. The family has been in the travel retail business for decades, operating as duty-free operators in India and nations such as Sri Lanka. And they somehow convey their knowledge to this posh eatery. Saltt is located 70 kilometres from Mumbai, on a 170-acre plot of land immediately as you reach Karjat, on the family-owned Oleander farms.

As you approach the restaurant, which is housed in a barn-like structure with a distinctively rustic look, you are greeted by a floral-lined pathway. The family constructed this restaurant with their love for nature in mind! In a nutshell, Saltt is ideal for a romantic date or a meaningful get-together with your loved ones.



A Pet Zoo and Vintage Cars!

Saltt already has a cafe, a bar, and a vintage car area where you can view the family's personal vintage car collection. Don't leave your pets at home because this location is pet-friendly! Is it necessary for me to add that you should not forget about your children? The Ahujas intend to build rooms and turn this beautiful location into a resort. But, for the time being, a fun day out with your family or friends, nice food, and a farm-like setting to breathe in the pure air is ideal!

Surprisingly, a petting zoo with iguanas, bunnies, and hedgehogs can be found. A Maruti 800, Ambassador, Fiat, and Morris 8, which originally belonged to MF Hussain, are among the vehicles on display. That's quite a feat, isn't it?

 

The Food - Craving some Comfort Food!

The cuisine is diverse, ranging from European fare to pan-Asian fare. Don't be discouraged if you enjoy Indian and street-style cuisine. You won't have to travel far for a day break if you always dine in the city. Plan a surprise date or a friend's birthday celebration here, away from your city's packed restaurants.

Pav Bhaji, Chole Kulche, Bharwan Aloo Ki Chaat,  are some of the dining options. Botanical cocktails, Caprese pizza, vegetarian biryani, and salt caramel mousse are all worth trying. These meal alternatives will most likely transfer you to the bylanes of Old Delhi if you are a Delhiite!

Without alcohol, a meal for two costs around Rs2,500.
