The Salt Restaurant

"Good food and good ambiance and river view. The place offers a wide variety of dishes from Indian, Arabian, seafood etc. Tried alfaham, fish curry meals and avoli pollichath. Everything was good. Price is average. Pollichath though having too much oil was really tasty. There is ample parking space. A bit busier during lunch times. Waiters were well mannered."

"This is a great place if you’re looking for good food with an excellent view. The ambience easily deserves 4.5 stars — calm, well-designed, and ideal for a relaxed dining experience. The food was quite good and consistent, earning a solid 4 stars, with well-balanced flavours and a decent variety on the menu. The highlight is undoubtedly the view, which is a 5-star experience, especially during the evening and around sunset. Do note that the place can get crowded in the evenings, but they have plenty of seating, so waiting time is usually manageable. I’d recommend skipping the AC dining area and choosing the upper deck instead — it offers the best views and really elevates the overall experience. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Kochi."

"Lovely dining experience with a calm and pleasant ambience. The food is well-presented and flavourful, with a good mix of local Kerala dishes and international options. Service was attentive and polite, making the meal enjoyable and relaxed. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality and atmosphere make it worth it. A good choice for a nice meal in Kochi."

"I have seen this restaurant in many movies and always wanted to try it. Went around dinner time on Sunday. Although was less packed, there were no window seats available on the first deck, so sat on the second. It was beautiful. We ordered Beef Rib Mandhi- our favourite; the rice and meat both cooked to perfection. Second order was Saro Mandhi, which was tasty but the flavour of rice was a bit off and did not go well with the chicken (which by itself was good; the sauce also was delicious).Nazi Goreng on the other hand was good but way too spicy to handle and we got couple of limes to calm our tongue. Overall a nice place to dine out, especially on a weekend with the view of Thoppumpady bridge."

"The location is good and car parking space available. Other than this I do not see anything interesting. The staff seems to be very cunning. They forced to order a dish which they said is good and served in less than 10 minutes. But it was not hot. Looks like it was cooked almost an hour back and trying to find a customer. Though they accepted the mistake immediately and offered to change, the reason they said is more funny. "Dish may become cold when they bring that from kitchen to serving table as if the kitchen is in another district :-)". The other things is, they don't share the price for seasonal dishes and you may get a costly dish if you do not ask the price upfront."
