The restaurant was so welcoming and the staff were so friendly. The food was presented well on the dishes. Everything was so savory and delicious. The desserts were not overly sweet. The restaurant was well decorated and clean. The staff consistently checked in to be sure all our needs were met.
I have been wanting to try Black Salt for a while now since I saw it on the STL top 100 list. I ordered a butter chicken and some naan for take out. It was hot and ready before my pick up time which was great. The staff were super friendly as well. I enjoyed my meal it was tasty. I would definitely dine in next time as I think it would be even better and I can truly enjoy all the flavors.
I couldn't give this restaurant anything less than five stars. When I say I had flavors literally dancing on my tongue, I mean it! Every single dish we tasted was phenomenal perfectly cooked, it was authentic Indian flavors, and it was beautifully presented. There is honestly not one thing I could or would change about my experience. Actually, there is one thing that I would change how the garlic naan is presented on the menu it does show garlic/ chili naan and it seems like it's one item, but in reality it's two different options Just listed on the same line. So we ended up with two orders of naan bread but they both were delicious so it was okay. While the restaurant is located in a shopping plaza, the interior is warm, inviting, and thoughtfully decorated. The service was equally impressive; the staff was attentive, prompt, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. The entire time I was dining, I kept thinking about all the friends and family I want to bring back so they can experience this culinary gem for themselves. I can't wait to go back.
I have visited black salt several times. They share a parking lot with other businesses. It's a smallish restaurant with very good Indian cuisine. The decor is tasteful and they have both tables and booths. I really appreciate that. They have plenty of protein options, including vegetarian and vegan dishes. On a particular visit for lunch, I ordered the executive lunch platter with the Punjabi choley and butter naan. The food was better than average. Service was very good.
Delicious dinner. I have been eyeing this place for a while. I went on a Sunday and there was plenty of seating. The hosts and my waitress were friendly and helpful. My server recommended the shahi paneer. This was my first time having this dish. It was so yummy and rich. It reminds me of butter chicken but less spicy. I also had the samosa chaat. I love any type is chaat and this one did not disappoint. It was another first for me. The yogurt, deconstructed samosas, beans and everything else in the dish was fantastic. Chaat, an Indian street food. is so good because there are all these flavors and mixed textures. They come together to create a perfectly balanced dish of sweet, tangy, and warm flavors. There are so many tasty sounding dishes on the menu. Can't wait to go back to try new (or the same) delicious dishes!
We went here for early lunch and immediately admired the cute, modern yet cozy interior decor. We ordered a mango lassi, which was the highlight. It comes in a cute glass and is not just creamy, but has cardamom flavor in it as well. They also have some tiny chewy mango pieces as a topping for the mango lassi. Besides that, we ordered Pani Puri, which was alright but I would have liked more potato filling in each one as there was only a little. For curries, we got Lamb vindaloo and chicken tikka masala. Lamb vindaloo was too watery, and did not have much flavor besides spiciness and tomato puree. Usually vindaloo is supposed to be a drier curry with less liquid gravy. Lamb also tasted a little overlooked and rubbery. Chicken tikka masala was good, nice creaminess and flavor. But my partner, who had been before, said butter chicken was better than the chicken tikka masala. Con: would like their lunch menu to be more clear. They had a lunch special but it just said "appetizer" and didn't specify that it would be a samosa. Also would like more of a description for the lunch Thali on their menu. We were also only given lunch menu initially and had to ask for their full menu. There were only 2 parties seated at the restaurant, so we would have liked for the servers to have paid more attention that our water was running low as we never had it refilled.
Wonderful! The food is amazing IMO. My fiancé is a tandoori chickn connoisseur so he says 'he's had better' but I'm a vegetarian so idk LoL! But the curry and mango margarita were amazing! The service is attentive, it's a small & cute little restaurant but worth a try for sure!! Especially if you love Indian food ;)
I LOVE Indian but dislike when it is so spicy you cannot taste anything but heat. Black Salt does a great job of adding tremendous flavor without too much heat. We requested our entrees mild and both the Lamb Korma and Signature Lahori Murgh. Black Miso Chicken Tika was a bit too spicy for us but luckily the sweet dressing on the side salad helped cool it down. Props to the Old Fashion, really good! And you must try the Fresh Lime Soda, so refreshing! Service was slow but we arrived during a busy time and it was obvious the other parties placed orders just prior to us.
My wife and I had a date night this past Friday, and she had been craving Indian food--specifically from Black Salt. I'm glad we finally gave it a try. The restaurant was clean and featured a modern décor, which made for a nice atmosphere right from the start. We were seated immediately upon arrival, which is always a plus on a Friday night. To start, my wife ordered a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, and I went with my usual--a Corona with a lime. For our meals, she chose the Veggie Biryani, while I went with the Tandoori Chicken, with a side of rice and garlic naan. Her Veggie Biryani had that classic slow-building heat you expect from Indian cuisine. I tried a bite myself, and it definitely had a nice kick without being overwhelming. My Tandoori Chicken was cooked perfectly--tender, flavorful, and very satisfying. The garlic naan was also a standout and paired well with everything. Overall, the food, service, and experience were all very good. We'll definitely be returning to Black Salt the next time we're craving Indian food.
Went here for lunch with a friend. Ordered the lunch special of chicken tikka masala. It came with rice, naan bread and somosas. We were asked for spice level and I asked for mine to be spicy. I also ordered a cucumber water to drink with it. Cucumber water was refreshing. Food came out relatively quick. Food was good but not very spicy. I love spicy food! Service was ok. Waitress came pretty quickly when we sat down, but it took a very long time to get our bill and when we did she gave us the credit card reader and left. We had to figure out how to split our bill. The place was smaller than I expected but clean. Had some interesting art work in the walls. I would def be open to going again, but there are some better places in the same area.
Damn this place is good! Joined some friends for dinner. Attentive "team" serving by multiple people. I liked the cocktail options. Mostly ordered what we have gotten before, but some standouts include: - Palak Chaat with Mango (4.75/5): this is addictive! GET THIS. - Kadhai Chicken - Medium spicy (4.75/5): I like this better than chicken tikka masala and butter chicken. Very tasty! - garlic naan (4.75/5): Phenomenal as always - Elaichi Mascarpone Gulab Jamun (4.75/5): Excellent, elegant, light. GET THIS!

Entering the restaurant everything was very clean and modern and just absolutely gorgeous. Staff was very welcoming. Seated immediately. We ordered samosas and tandoori chicken for appetizers. Definitely the best samosas I've ever had.... And I've tried a lot of them lol. Very well seasoned and the two sauces it came with paired beautifully. Tandoori chicken was super moist and flavor was incredible, exactly what you hope for. Entrees were butter chicken (had to try it here), lamb biriyani, and garlic truffle naan. Butter chicken sauce was absolutely killer, one of the better ones I've had. Good portion of chicken in it. The Biriyani was also really good, rice cooked perfectly, also good portion of meat on the dish. Large portions for the price. The cucumber infused water was incredibly refreshing and flavor was amazing. We were so full leaving there and so happy. Bill came out to about 95$ very reasonable for the amount of food we ordered and got to try plus the portion sizes. Service was great, checked on us frequently, very friendly and food came out pretty quickly. Would absolutely eat here again! Highly recommend! read more
We visited Black Salt for dinner. It wasn't too busy and we were seated immediately. I ordered the Lime soda and korma paneer. The lime soda was $6, which is pretty expensive and I didn't like the flavor very much. The korma paneer was good but a little sweet for my taste. I would like to try this place again and order some different items. read more

Food: 5 Stars Service: 5 Stars I had always hoped for a fine dining Indian restaurant to open its doors near us, and the Food Gods must have heard my cries. In 2023, Black Salt dropped on my front doorstep and it had been one of the best things to happen to Chesterfield. I love this so effing much. Located within the heart of Chesterfield and along Clarkson Rd., you'll find Black Salt sitting behind McDonald's in the most unassuming place- A strip mall. It's a relatively small restaurant, but tables are always full of people smiling and laughing-clearly enjoying themselves. The restaurant is capable of seating small and larger groups. For larger groups, you'll want to be sure to coordinate with the staff in advance. Their menu offers a contemporary take on traditional Indian dishes, being sure to highlight the fragrant spices and bold flavors. Some of our favorites include: -Punjabi Samosa: Pastry pockets filled with spiced potatoes and peas. Pastry exterior is fried, giving a crunchy texture while the spiced potatoes on the inside are savory and fragrant with various spices. These make a great appetizer! - Andhra Sea Bass: This is my go-to. Their sea bass is seared so the outer layer has a beautiful crust while retaining a lot of the moisture within the flesh. Fish always ends up flakey and moist, almost melts in your mouth like butter. The coconut coriander sauce is creamy and hearty without feeling over indulgent. - Zafrani Lamb Chops: Savory and creamy saffron sauce is dressed over luscious lamb chops. We love sharing this with others at the table. - Naan: We have tried all of their naans, and our favorite is the chili garlic naan. (We like a little bit of heat in every part of our lives.) But honestly, they're all pretty fantastic. Enjoy! :) read more

Great place to try Indian food for the first time. The menu is so large and they also have pictures on their menu via yelp. You can also book a reservation via Yelp. The restaurant is smaller, so I highly recommend a reservation and they were consistently busy throughout the evening. This was on a Thursday night. I love that you can choose your spice level for your dishes. You can do low, medium, or spicy. We have tried the old-fashioned chicken, chicken, marsala, butter, chicken, and goat. Then we also both ordered naan. The old-fashioned chicken was good definitely spicy. The chicken marsala was good and I liked it had sausage dip the bread in. My family really enjoyed their dishes, which were the butter, chicken and goat To make it even better that we stop by our table and ask if there were any suggestions on improvement for his restaurant. Then he offered us mango smoothies and gave them to us at no cost. To meet an owner that is so engaged, personable and really cares about their customers is so rare. It was so nice to find at this restaurant. read more

I'm not super familiar with Indian food, so I was very happy that they gave a lunch special that lets you try several different dishes. It comes with rice and naan, and you can get unlimited refills (which I didn't need, it was plenty of food). It was a fun way to taste several dishes! The chicken curry was really tender and perfectly spiced. I'll definitely go back! read more
Food was amazing!! Appetizer platter was done well! Pretty much anything fried is good but sometimes it's not always done well. This was done well. Cauliflower was tender and juicy, Samosa had great flavor Everything had a nice crispy crust. Pretty much had pictures of everything so you can see how delicious it was. What really stood out about the food in general was how fresh everything tasted and how the spices were perfectly balanced. The garlic chili naan is the perfect example of this- a hint of spice with the right amount of garlic. Everything was phenomenal. The Dal Makhani was so so amazing- rich, comforting and the seasoning.... Oh the seasoning- I ate it over rice- but could see doing this with some fresh bread- comfort food at its finest. Service was friendly and efficient. Definitely on the list to return to try some other dishes! read more

We made a reservation for dinner and we were glad we did. The place was pretty packed! I am glad the food did not disappoint. For appetizers, we had the Black salt assorted sampler. Everything on the sampler was really good. For our entrees, we had the cheese infused kofta, Dal Makhani and Chicken Tikka masala. All the entrees were very rich and flavorful ! The food was representative of North Indian cooking. For the breads, we tried the Rosemary Naan and the Black salt signature Katlama Naan. Both were cooked very well! For dessert, we had the Zafrani Kheer - it was delicious! We even tried the chocolate jamun mousse but preferred the Kheer. All the food was good. Looking forward to trying out more of their menu! read more

Enjoyed my visit here! Smaller restaurant, good for more intimate meals. Wasn't too busy either. Located on a strip with other stores, so there is plenty of parking around. They have a small bar area and a few outdoor seating options. Plenty of options for non-meat eaters. Ran into a small issue with one of our orders but the staff quickly fixed it. They are very attentive and stay always within reach for water refills or any other needs during your meal. I tried the Chef's Signature Dal Makhani which was pretty good. I do wish it had a little more spice to it as well as additional protein to add more texture to the meal. Also, got some garlic naan for the table which can be shared with two people. read more

I got the lamb chops - burrah chop adraki. This was some lamb that was very well prepared. The char was delicious, the lamb was tender and juicy, and came off the bone easily in my mouth. It was the comfort food I was seeking and more. If I lived in the area, I would come back here or more. I was on a business trip. read more

My new favorite Indian cuisine! So delicious and love the modern atmosphere. We enjoyed the Indian Cosmo and Dirty Martini. The chili garlic naan and the Kashmiri naan are amazing! We tried the sea bass special and chicken tikka with basmati rice. We got the Elachi Mascarpone Gulab Jamun for dessert and it was the perfect ending to a special meal. Can't wait to come back! read more
2nd time here, was equally pleased. Service was fantastically attentive. Manager checked on us as well. They were very concerned with our satisfaction. True sign of good management. It was fully booked after 6. Need reservations but we were ably to get an early booking (5pm) in same day. The portions are generous. We had two entrees and one app and had plenty of leftovers. We tried the Biryani - Chef Signature. Rice was perfectly cooked and had plenty of protein in it. Nice and flavorful. Also had the chicken tika masala once again, and still great! For an app, we had Samosa Chaat. EXCELLENT! What an explosion of flavors. May be my favorite thing on menu. Black Salt is a little gem hidden in a strip mall. The small restaurant is simple and elegantly decorated. Fresh, bright and cozy. Excited to hear they'll be opening a 2nd spot! read more

Black Salt is my new favorite Indian restaurant! Black Salt is located in Chesterfield and although it's a new restaurant, it already has a HUGE fan base for a good reason. It's seriously incredible! Every single dish is literally plate-licking good - so be sure to get their bread basket to sop up all the sauces! The vibe of the entire place is upscale but still very welcoming. They have an extensive menu but we took the server's recommendation and they were more than spot on. My favorite dishes were: Samosa Chaat Palak Chaat with Mango Black Miso Chicken Tikka Chicken Chettinad Chicken Tikka Masala Reservations are recommended as this place gets packed quickly. Be sure to follow their social media for details on their new location coming soon!! read more

Took a risk with the dal. The most amazing dal makhani I have had in Delhi makes the rest of the world dissapoint normally. But we shall see! Hedged my bet with a Chicken Tikka appetizer and both butter naan and their local featured Black Salt naan. won't go away hungry. The traditional items were very solid. The local featured items did not move my needle, but left full and happy. Will be back. read more
