    Yogurt Sauce

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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!

    I have gluten and dairy sensitivity, they confirmed with the chef that I could have the kadhei lamb. Highly recommend. Good service, kind hospitality, beautiful setting!

    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! :)

    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.

    Lunch special
    Amy F.

    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!

    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!

    Excellent, casual spot that is opened late at night. Always packed. I imagine this is what the…read morestreets of India is like at night when people go out to get casual bites. Friendly service. Their curries are on the spicier side.

    Before I ventured there on a Saturday evening, I tried to call several times to ask some menu…read morequestions but no one ever picked up the call. I was hopeful that they were possibly just very busy at that moment. The parking lot is shared with several other businesses located in this plaza. There is disabled parking in front of the business, but the ramp is in front of Sauce on the Side next door. As I entered this casual spot, they were very busy on this Saturday night. You can place your order online or at the walk up counter. There were several people in front of me, but the line moved fast. The menu is on the board behind the counter and you can see some of the fresh items displayed. There are some tables inside the restaurant if you decide to stay. It seems that the majority of the people ordered takeout. I ordered the onion pakoda, which is similar to onion straws, and it was a huge serving, enough for 2-4 people. It was served warm and crispy. The onions were sweet and the fried batter had good flavor. I tried the weekend special, which were 3 vegetarian choices out of 5-6: Palak Paneer, Paneer Butter Masala and Eggplant curry. Rice or naan does not come with it. It costs extra. The garlic naan was fresh and flavorful. The Palak Paneer was adequate, mildly spiced, and about what I expected. The paneer butter masala was well-spiced and had a slight capsaicin kick. The eggplant curry was absolutely delicious and rather spicy. I'm glad I had a drink close by. This was a very good value as I had enough leftover for another meal.

    Great food, service, and atmosphere!…read more This space is massive so bring in your family, friends, colleagues, and teams in for a great meal. The portions and prices are amazing. They have vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options too. I would say the biggest meat protein on the menu is chicken. They have great music playing and some nights have live singers playing as you eat. They have a full cocktail and liquor menu so grab a drink on the patio and enjoy some gobi and naan to snack on. I loved their kid menu options and names so grab those picky little eaters. They offer a lunch buffet on the weekends too so come and fill those bellies with healthy and tasty food. It's not all spicy but you can certainly tell the cooks to crank up that heat flavor on your dishes. The staff was one of the best parts. They all were so friendly and gave their best recommendations and pairings. They moved as a team and everyone knew what we ordered and got it out fast. This location is very accessible and the bathroom set up is top tier. They have multiple seating options and a chair or two can be easily removed for wheelchair users. The silverware was strong but not too heavy which is great for those with less muscle control or littles learning to use utensils.

    We've been to a number of restaurants over the years that specialize in Indian cuisine. I had read…read moreabout Mint & Martini and added it to my list of places I want to go to. I made a reservation, but when we got there, it was so empty and toldwasn't necessary to have a reservation. We were there at 7:00 on a Saturday night and there were only eight other diners in the huge restaurant and I believe there were four outside. We were seated right away and then menus were brought over. They have an extensive cocktail/beverage menu and a separate food menu that was also rather large. We ordered our martinis and started on the food menu. We ended up ordering way too much food! I had the French Martini and do not recommend it. I had a Lemon Drop Martini after that and it was good. My husband had two Dirty Martinis and liked them. We started with the Samosa Chaat and it was good! It was actually the food we liked best. We ordered some Butter Naan but there was very little butter. We asked the server what his favorite entrees were and he mentioned one of the things I had been looking out, so I ordered it. Then he tells me one diner had complained that it was too chewy. I think he expected me to change my mind. I did not, but wish I had. I had the Lamb Roganjosh. The flavor was good, but the lamb was very chewy because it was full of fat. I have never had an Indian lamb dish that had lamb like that in it. My husband had Goat Bhutan Masala. He said it was okay. It did say it was bone-in goat, but the bones were tiny and hard to find until they were in his mouth. My husband had looked up their menu online and had seen fried jalapeños on it, but they weren't on the menu. They made some for him anyway and they were so hot, they were inedible. We were taken care of by three different people and they were all great! The space inside is huge and the patio probably doubles the seating they have inside. There were ten of us in the restaurant for a while and I think only six more came in before we left at 8:30. They are open from 11:00 AM until midnight. They have live music in Saturdays, but not the Saturday we were there. There are a some Indian restaurants in the area that we really like, so I don't think we'll be back.
