"With chic interiors, an open-air courtyard (particularly crowded during winter) that hosts live music, a well-stocked bar, and an elegant menu, the Salt House is one of Kolkata’s most popular spots. The restaurant serves a largely European menu with a bit of Mediterranean and regional Indian cuisines stirred into the mix. Some of the dishes come with quirky twists. The roasted pork belly is dressed in vindaloo jus and served with a side of zesty fried rice tossed with fiery Goan sausage, while the Bengali prawn malaikari (a satiny curry of prawns cooked in coconut milk) is folded into al dente risotto." - Priyadarshini Chatterjee
