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.

The vegetable pakora was not quite as good as I recall, but the tamarind sauce served with it was quite good. The Gobi Manchurian was flavorful an satisfying.

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.

The biscoff shake was nothing short of amazing. But the real star was the pizza. A really solid crust, heaps of gooey cheese, the right proportion of ingredients to allow the flavors to pop (and good quality ingredients to boot), and a wonderful curry masala sauce. This is how fusion cuisine is supposed to be- the best of both worlds that comes together in a way that is both new and comfortably familiar. Staff was polite and service was fast. I can't wait to bring my family next time. I have some picky eaters and some adventurous eaters (I also have serious food allergies) and there is something here for everyone.

The value for money is near unbeatable at 7.99 for 2 curry type options with roti, rice and a small papadam. I chose paneer masala and chole. The paneer masala was a good balance between simple home cooked and elaborate, with small fried paneer chunks, bell peppers and onions in a creamy but spicy tomato gravy. The chole was very tasty and nutritious too. The portion size was right on for feeling full but not stuffed for a lunch. Even as a vegetarian meal, the choice of chole and paneer provided a solid amount of protein. With the plethora of options for Indian food in the west county area, Tatva by focusing on simple vegetarian lunch combo or thali style offerings has created its own niche. It beats other nearby fast food options hands down on nutrition, flavor and value for money for a nearby office goer or remote worker.

The resturant is a nice size and they were able to accommodate our party of 10. The noise level was average. Not loud and not too quiet. Exactly how a resturant should be. The food came out within a decent time and everything taste great. Very flavorful! I used a spice level of 2 while my husband did 3. No one at our table went over 3 spice level (it goes up to 5). Our table ordered a variety of entrée with some including egg and goat. No complaints but they have large portions, in my opinion. Everyone enjoyed their food and some had leftovers. Nice resturant and I would return when I'm in the mood for a good Indian cuisine.

When I got home and unpacked our order we all instantly noticed the small containers, Fancy containers. But small. The the size of the container matched the amount of meat in our dishes.

The butter chicken was wonderfully buttery, tomatoey and embodied a really good butter chicken flavor but could have used some cream and less heat for a mild level. The butter naan was decent.

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.

On the side I had the garlic and cheese naan with basmati rice. This place appears unassuming from outside but on the inside it has an upscale feel with cloth table tops and cloth napkins, glassware, and attentive dressed up staff that frequent your table often. I will be back. Perhaps even again this weekend!

This time around, the experience was a little better. I ordered the curry chicken with a side of garlic naan, while my wife chose the aloo baingan. The food took about 25 minutes to come out, which felt a bit long for lunch but wasn't unreasonable. One thing I did notice was that a table that was seated after us (they arrived about 10 minutes after we were seated) received their food before we did, including another table that had a larger party. It wasn't a major issue, but it did stand out and is something the kitchen could and should improve on. They should really work to a FIFO (First in First Out) schedule. That said, the food itself was very enjoyable. My curry chicken, ordered at a medium spice level, was cooked and seasoned perfectly to my taste. The garlic naan was especially good--fresh, flavorful, and a great complement to my meal. Overall, this visit improved my impression compared to the first time around.
