"Arrived in London late and hungry. We still had to check in to our hotel and had noticed, on the Yelp App, that Salt was not far. We asked the front desk guy about it but apparently he wasn 't a fan. He referred to it as where night people went. Not sure what he meant by that at the time but, it was night and I was hungry so, I guess that made me one of them. Left our things in the room and walked to Salt. As we approached the restaurant we realized what he meant. We were in a middle eastern part of town and this place was packed even though it was already 10pm on a weekday. The people at the outside tables were smoking hookah, having delicious looking Nan bread with dipping sauces, and everyone seemed to be having a great, relaxing time. Seemed like a great place so far. Went in and liked it even more. Plenty of tables all around, beautiful and very organized full bar (with a long list of whiskeys), and we were seated immediately. Took me a while to decide on what to eat, they have a good variety of dishes on their menu, mostly Indian cuisine but there some dishes for people who prefer things like a burger or fish and chips. Finally decided on their Chicken wrap, and we also ordered a lamb wrap and potato cake. While we waited for the food we got our drinks... vodka soda and a Campari Spritzer. The food came out fairly fast and hot. Big portions and Big flavors. The Chicken wrap had a delicious curry taste, and you can ask for it to made with nan instead of a regular wrap bread . The Nan makes a huge difference, trust me. Made me want to ask for more on the side but I refrained as what we had on the table was more than enough already. It comes with a mint sauce on the side but, I enjoyed it more with the yogurt sauce from the potato pancake. Which were very tasty too! Our server came over from time to time to bring us new drinks, refill our waters and make sure food was to our liking. So glad we didn 't listen to the guy at the hotel. As mentioned it was my first night in London, and so far it started on a great note. Definitely a place I would recommend!"

"A Local Favourite. I can't quite understand some of the reviews I have seen here. I have no idea why anyone would choose this small, independent restaurant for your office party of people -I'm pretty sure you couldn't fit anything like that number in here..This is one of the few remaining traditional, independent businesses in the area, and it offers a much more intimate experience than can be found at the likes of Lobster Burger or Polpo. I'm not saying that it cn't be a bit cramped on a busy night, but this is part of its charm...and there is outdoor seating too, if you are so inclinedMy food was simple, unpretentious and excellent: my lingine con frutti di mare was packed with very fresh prawns, scampi, squid, clams and mussels and steamed in foil. The tomato sauce that accompanied it was delicate and well-balanced.My companion had the set menu: avocado vinaigrette, followed by risotto agli asparagi (asparagus risotto) for The avocado was perfectly ripe,and came served on a nice (if unannounced) bed of salad -the only criticism was that the sauce wasn't exactly vinaigrette, but something slightly creamier -it still tasted good though. The risotto was also very pleasant, the asparagus being cooked through (but not over-done), which made a pleasant change from the current trend for serving it partially-cooked. I also liked the free prosecco to start with and the amaretto and amaretti biscuits that they gave you after your meal. Sure, it isn't the reason i came here, but these nice little touches are appreciated. Service was charming and very attentive. I liked the fact that they gave me a finger-bowl because of my seafood."

"I have been meaning to try Carluccios for a while and I thought today would be my day as I was passing it in Leeds. My first impression was that a hoarder runs this place and it wasn 't a resturant at all, going into the resturant is like a shop. They is a place outside where I guess you wait to be seated, but I stayed their a few minutes and no one came. When I was finally greated by a member of staff when I walked in, I just thought she was an average person as I didn 't see her or any other members of staff wearing uniforms. I ordered Scrambled Egg with Salmon, i shared a laugh with the waiter and I told him Don 't make me pronounce it , they have a large gluten free menu with breakfast and gluten free bread, which was nice to see, it is just a shame that the bread was awful. Service was relativley quick with my drinks and food coming at the same time. I didn 't really like my coffee, it has quite a strong taste, I like coffee quite strong but it didn 't taste the quality it should of been from an itallian resturant. My meal cost about £7 and I still was hungry after it because it was such a small portion, I admit the scrambled egg was very rich and delicious and the salmon just sweetend the deal but I feel it still isn 't worth that price for how much food I got and simply I left hungry. My friend ordered Eggs Benedict and also had to pay quite a bit of money and he also left hungry and got a small portion. As I enjoyed my food, I decided to get something else from here, I can 't remember the last time I ordered a dessert, even as a young kid I never ate sweet stuff but today I ordered a sorbet, I decided to opt for Melon. I was delighted that the waiter offered to get me another flavour, she said you can choose 2 flavours because you get 2 scoops, some waiters would just leave it without telling me, it was nice she let me know that and I got a scoop of mandarin. The 2 scoops were quite large and cost £3.95. The sorbet was very cold as it normally is but I found the flavour to be quite nice, even though I found the mandarin flavour to be too overpowering the mix of flavours with Melon and Mandarin were quite enjoyable. I was confused that the frozen sorbet took 10 minutes as it is only getting it out of the freezer, one scoop, two scoop, then deliver it to my table which was quite close to the kitchen. They is a few charging cables so you can charge your devices. As much as I would love to give more stars, I can only give 3 because the food prices are just too expensive even if it is quite nice, as I left hungry and had to order a dessert, and my friend had to go to another cafe. It can 't cost that much to make a little bit of scrambled egg, salmon and 2 toast so they should be able to give me more for my money, if I got much more food I would of even considered full marks for this place. To sum up, the food is delicious but expensive and you leave hungry, as much as I would love to give 4 or even 5 stars, as I said the portion sizes and pricing just lets it down."
