Black Salt brings contemporary Indian cuisine to Chesterfield

Start your meal with the samosa chaat, potato samosas lashed with sweet, tangy tamarind chutney and a fresh and spicy blast of mint chutney. A cool drizzle of plain yogurt works to chill the underlying heat of the samosa’s chiles and cumin laced potato filling. There’s a variety of biryanis (spiced rice dishes) like goat, paneer, or lamb; our favorites were the chicken and best of all, the veggie. 

The breads here were fabulous; if you’re feeling adventurous, try the garlic-truffle naan or the chile-garlic naan which were standouts. The assorted bread basket comes with garlic and plain naan and also a flaky paratha, a more neutral option that easily went with saucy main dishes like ajwaini bhindi, sauteed okra glazed in a tomato-based sauce, or a rich rogan josh made with lamb.
