My guest and I ordered quite the spread, from pani puri to samosas to chicken byriani. I also got some masala chai and garlic naan to pair with my entree. All the food was delicious and the portion sizes were large. The standout for me was the samosas. Fried to perfection and the interior was flavorful. The service was good and I look forward to coming back!

Delicious, authentic Indian food!…read more Black Salt is a cute medium sized restaurant in a strip of business down Olive. We made a reservation for New Year's Day and it wasn't too busy. Service was okay, the wait staff was nice and helpful on spice level. They didn't check in as often as I'd like to refill water etc. The food was fantastic. I love Indian flavors so this hit the spot! Would for sure come back

$17.95 for a lunch buffet with just water…read more The food was amazing. The service was fabulous. The price is becoming "only for special occasions". Not for my budget on a random Wednesday. I need to be fasting... ready to eat plates of food for lunch. This Wednesday I was not ready. For me and a friend, this was expensive. But I had agreed to lunch for him driving me around this morning. The ambiance was with great staff. Our water was kept full. I still tipped even though it was a buffet. The cashier stood in one spot. I am just shocked by the price- otherwise 5 stars. And glad they found more employees.

We finally made it to Bombay Food Junkies! We had only talked about it for a year, and I was so…read moreexcited to finally get over there and give it a taste! We decided to dine in so the food would be fresh and hot. When you order, you use a screen to choose what you would like and order it without interaction with an employee. I was cool with it, although I think it could be an issue with people not familiar with the cuisine. I know I went overboard, but I wanted to try a variety of everything, especially in the dessert category. We placed our order and found a table in the corner. The restaurant itself is very cute and quaint; it's not busy, and the vibe is serious 'hole in the wall' cafe. I really liked the murals promoting veganism on the walls. It was rather neat! My husband ordered Mac and cheese with chick'n. I ordered butter tofu with naan. We also ordered samosas, french fries, tiramisu, cheesecake, and a cake pop. I told ya we went overboard! I really enjoyed my butter tofu. The tofu was breaded and crisp, and it was a nice contrast in the tomato porridge. My side was fried rice, and it was great: full of fresh vegetables that were crisp and perfect, and the flavor was on point. The samosas and tamarind dip were absolutely epic. Perfectly seasoned, a nice crunch on the outside with a savory mix inside, and a very nice choice for my husband who had never had a samosa. The naan was great too. My husband enjoyed the Mac and cheese quite a bit. The chick'n would be soo good in a plethora of dishes, and I'm eager to get back over there. The desserts...wow. The cheesecake and cake pop were fantastic, but the star of the show was easily the tiramisu. I've had tiramisu literally all over the country, and this was close to the top on the list of favorites. Bonus points: it didn't make me queasy like MOST tiramisu does. I will be planning a trip back if just for the tiramisu, if nothing else, because it was that epic. I'm so glad we finally got to try this place, and I'm so ready to be back for more.

But I was disappointed when I asked if i can taste the sauces of there wings to help me decide on which flavors to buy. The young man up front said no problem. But he went in back and they said no. I was close to leaving without purchasing anything. A customer said everything is good here. You cant go wrong. My concern was the spice levels. I didn't want it too spicy that everyone wouldn't enjoy it. I decided to try the sweet and spicy wings and the tangy and spicy wings. Note: I would've given this establishment a 5 star review if the would've made a small accommodation and allowed me to sample the the wings sauces. Therecwas 4 to choose between. As stated i was very close to not getting anything. Initially I wanted to come back and try other dishes other than the wings. Now I may not come back to try anything. If I do give them a 2nd review, you know why. I was going to try their pizza and butter chicken. I believe a few more items as well.

Our daughter came to town and decided that we needed to try Indian food. We had not tried any…read morebecause my husband doesn't do spice. The restaurant has nice decor with a dessert counter. We were seated pretty quickly but it took a while for our orders to be taken. It wasn't really crowded. The guy seated a table behind us had a lot of questions and a big order. They bring the food out as it's ready so we weren't waiting for all of the food to be done. Drinks were served in cans but there was also bottled water on the table. Not sure if this is how it's always done or if there was an issue. Having never had butter chicken before, I didn't have a reference point. It was delicious. The garlic naan is amazing. I ordered some to go. It started my love affair. My husband liked his fried rice but it had eggs in it. He doesn't eat eggs. (Yeah I still love him though). He grew tired of picking it out so he didn't finish it. I don't remember what our daughter got but it's the brown dish in the picture. Overall we had a good time with good food out of our comfort zone. I will be looking for garlic naan and butter chicken everywhere.

Mid-2026 and this has stayed my only spot in or around STL for Indian food. Everything I've tried…read morehas been delicious, and I've tried many things I've never had before because of my faith in their kitchen. I will say I want to update my review in regards to service. It can be lackluster sometimes! For me it's been like 2/3rds of my visits (and I come here a lot) have fine-to-good service and then 1/3rd it's quite slow and inattentive. Some of my good visits have been while they've been busy--so I'm not sure what causes the difference in service outside of obviously who's on staff that day and how they're feeling about being at work lol. But yeah overall service is fine imo after ~35 visits

My wife and I have been on an Indian food kick lately, so we turned to Yelp to find an authentic…read morespot near our house. While browsing reviews, we came across a hidden gem in St. Ann called Maaji's Street Kitchen that had surprisingly high ratings. I couldn't believe how well-reviewed it was, so we decided to check it out for ourselves. We arrived around 5:30 PM on a Monday and were greeted warmly as soon as we walked in. We made our way to the counter to place our order, and the staff member was very helpful once we mentioned it was our first time. He walked us through the menu and even pointed out different dishes and combo options on their digital signage display menu, which made ordering much easier. We placed our order to go and waited inside. It's a small space, but it's decorated with unique art and has a really unique vibe. There was a hypnotic Indian song playing in the background, which added to the atmosphere. We sat at a table that had a game on it--I believe it was called Carrom, a tabletop game where you flick checker-sized discs into corner pockets, similar to a mini pool table. A woman who I assume was the owner or manager came out from the back and greeted us. While we waited, she showed us how to play the game. As we were playing, she came back and even offered us samples of the food we had ordered. I was honestly impressed by the level of hospitality--it's not something you experience very often. The sample alone was some of the best Indian food I've had. The spices were perfectly balanced for my taste, and it made me even more excited to get home and dig into our full meal. My wife ordered the Mixed Vegetable Curry Bowl, and I went with Combination #2 (Shredded Chicken Curry, Steamed Rice, and Parantha), along with a side salad. Overall, the experience was fantastic. I can't remember the last time we were treated this well at a restaurant, and I'm already looking forward to coming back to try more dishes.

I've always enjoyed the Ani's lunch combo, but I decided to try their dinner options this time. I…read moreordered the papidi chaat as an appetizer. It's a combination of chickpeas, papidi (fried crackers), and mint chutney that tastes refreshing. The chicken 65 didn't taste that fresh and perhaps was leftover from lunch... and unlike the lunch combo, you don't get rice or naan when you order the dinner entree, and this completely changed how it tasted (the rice/naan is essential in my opinion). So make sure to also buy rice or naan if you get the chicken 65; otherwise, it'll taste way too salty. The raita isn't as good as it used to be - it's much thicker now with consistency of actual yogurt and has less of that mint/cucumber flavor. The mango lassi is still excellent and cools down the spice from the other dishes. Overall, I still prefer the taste and value of the lunch combo over what I ordered for dinner this time.
