The best restaurant I've found since moving to Cambridge two years ago. The food is perfect every time, staff is friendly, fast, and patient if you're not 100% sure what each dish is, and the location has a lot of parking and seating. I can't get over how amazing the food is here. Wonderful.
Absolutely loved the Grain of Salt restaurant when it was on King street, now since they have moved to Hespeler road (561 Hespeler Rd #18 Cambridge, ON N1R 6J4). They have a more intimate space, absolutely lovely decor, and just as expected the food is still amazing!
I love the new location and the decor but it's always the naan that keeps me coming back for more. It's clearly made fresh and the portions are huge. The garlic naan is my favourite. I love the lamb curry which always has lean chunks of lamb and wonderful curry sauce. I generally go for lunch so the thali is perfect with your choice of main dish, daal, rice, naan, salad, a tiny portion of sweet rice pudding and a piece of tandoori chicken served in a metal tray. I always end up with a hubby bag when I leave.
The service is always fast and friendly and it doesn't take long for the staff to remember you. This restaurant has never let me down and when compared with any other Indian restaurant I've been to, it's a clear winner.
We are great fans of Indian food and like to try different place. Never went to their old location as it wasn't very inviting. Since they moved to a new location and having read some good reviews we decided to try Grain of Salt last week but very sadly the quality of the food came sub par. Chicken tikka masala had no flavour to it and the chicken pieces were dark red with food color very oily and tasted stale. the goat curry was bit better but i have had way better than that at other Indian Places, The Roti was too doughy. The Place is new but old chairs bring the tempo down. We will stick to our favourite on Jamieson for our indian Fix.
I've been to Grain of Salt many times with my sister and mother. It's hands down the best Indian food I've ever had. AMAZING naan, and delicious dishes. We always eat too much because we just can't stop!! The food does take a while to get to your table, but it's worth the wait. My favourite is the paneer makhni; delicious cubes of homemade cheese in a creamy tomato sauce. Dip some naan in there, and you're in heaven!!
We've never had anything but good service there as well. Our water glasses are always full and the servers are always polite. I can't wait to visit their new location on Hespeler Road!
