The Salt Cafe in Agra offers a dining experience that blends flavorful cuisine with a few notable drawbacks. While my visit to this establishment was marked by both positives and negatives, there are several aspects worth mentioning. There was a view of the Taj Mahal in the distance. For good, the butter chicken I had at The Salt Cafe was undeniably delicious. One significant drawback of dining at The Salt Cafe roof top was the presence of mosquitoes, which detracted from the overall experience. Additionally, many of the staff seemed preoccupied with their phones rather than focusing on providing attentive service to diners. Upon leaving, we discovered that The Salt Cafe had another floor below, which we were unaware of during our visit. This discovery led us to wonder if opting for the lower floor would have provided a more comfortable dining experience, especially given the mosquito issue on the rooftop.

One word for this place ‘Amazing’. We are regular visitors of this place. Food & service will never disappoint you. The ambiance is decent. You can visit this place without thinking twice. If you are planning to throw a party then do keep it in mind that it gonna be a bit heavy for your pocket. Which is justified keeping the overall experience in mind.

If you’re in Agra, this place is an ABSOLUTE MUST!!!! Food was really delicious!! We ordered the vegetarian pizza, Mexican tacos and meat platter. All items were really well cooked and so delicious!! Really recommend the Mexican tacos, they’re really different than anything we’ve tried in India!! Our waiter, Neeraj, was absolutely amazing and very helpful in answering our questions about the menu. He was also really accommodating to our requests to adjust the food to our liking. You must also try their ice cream brownie!! It’s so warm, soft, and moist!!

I felt like this is a big tourist trap with being able to dine with the Taj Mahal in the background. But only until the sun goes down, then you can’t see it. We checked in and were sat up in the open bar area, which was a mosquito infestation! Luckily they did have bug spray for us to use. And most of the viewing seats were taken-but not a big deal because they were uncomfortable to sit at, the height of the sofa vs the height of the table didn’t match up. Service was a bit here and there and not very attentive, when the many servers weren’t busy you could view them all on their phones. At the time of our dinning experience, I was on a bit of a dietary restriction, so when ordering food I wanted something bland with a crunch-and ordered French fries. The server told me “no”. No? Am I not allowed to order fries? It seemed as so! Me and also my partner were insistent on the fries and they did come to the table in the end (they weren’t that good either!). Food was meh, nothing to write home about. Upon leaving and not wanting to wait for the lift, we chose the stairs. Coming down the stairs we saw another part of the restaurant-enclosed and looked like mosquito free. The Google rating is what brought us, but after the experience I am not sure how it has such a high rating. If I return to Agra, I would not return here.

Really great food and atmosphere. The food was served quickly and everything tasted amazing. You can make a reservation in advanced, lots of tourists here because it's near the Taj Mahal. Definitely recommended if you're in the area. We ordered the chicken jalapeno poppers, Mexican chicken tacos, chicken tikka pizza, and butter chicken pasta. The lime soda was also very refreshing.
