Pink Salt in Bray

Top class Indian on Bray main Street

We visited this restaurant for dinner to commemorate a special occasion. Our original choice of location were all fully booked but this place had availability. Since we were dining with a toddler we asked for a quieter spot upstairs away from the crowd. The staff kindly accommodated us and we had the whole upstairs area to ourselves which was a good start. Service overall was good and the food was okay, nothing particularly memorable but nothing to complain about either. The issue began when our toddler got excited and let out a quick scream, as toddlers sometimes do. Almost instantly a staff member came upstairs and told us that customers downstairs had complained about being noisy. We found this hard to believe as it happened within seconds, far too soon for anyone to have reported it and for the staff to come up. Given that the downstairs music was louder and people were talking over dinner, it did not feel like a realistic concern. This left us feeling that our celebration had been spoiled unnecessarily. Afterward another staff member stood nearby and kept looking at us, which felt uncomfortable. When we made eye contact the staff asked if everything was okay, we said yes and staff went downstairs. It would have been better if they had simply told us directly to keep the toddler calm rather than implying that other customers had complained. Toward the end the staff handling our order, who was kind, brought ice cream and said it's free for you which we politely declined. We understood it was an attempt to make up for the awkward situation. Interestingly our toddler noticed everything and still said a mature thank you very much before we left which was a sweet moment. One staff member gave us a genuine smile and wished us a good day while leaving, which we acknowledged. The experience left a bad impression. We will not be returning, nor ordering from them again online and I would not recommend this place to families with young children who want to dine in.

Regular customers takeout or eat in. We noticed a change last night in something, not quite sure what it was. But the quality of service was way down. We went out for a birthday dinner last night as a family . The review I am leaving is in relation to very small things, but a few things across the evening. At the end of the day this is a premium restaurant that would boast a higher price tag and from our experience here we assumed we would be getting the same premium service we always get. When our waiter came over at first and saw we were a family of 3 (not 4) she removed our second small poppadom dish , did not think much of it but felt okay maybe they are cutting back a little. When you go out you want to feel like your being treated and not scraping by like we do every day in life. Initially we had to wait almost 30 minutes to get any communication to our waiter to say we are ready to order, she possibly did not understand when we asked and walked away and then we waited a further 10 minutes for someone else. Eventually we got our order in and in fairness The food as always was perfect 5|+ stars for food. When our starters and mains came on both occasions waiters almost spilled a full dish sliding off the tray onto the table and spilling water multiple times when pouring. Again nothing major but a little on edge, it seemed the waiter was more focused on his phone ringing in his pocket at that moment in time. When we were given our dessert menus we were looking at a small cake and coffee as we usually order, so we waited 20 odd minutes to order dessert and when the waiter returned to take our order we asked for coffee only to find out the machine was not working... a little work before hand to say just a heads up coffee machine is not working would have been extremely appreciated. Staff did not seem on the ball last night and seemed unsure of what to do Food amazing but service I will give 1 star for service

Lovely food served in a very welcoming and modern interior.

Visited Pink Salt with my family and had a superb experience! The food was absolutely amazing — every dish was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. What truly stood out was the warm hospitality — the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout. Everything was truly 5-star. Thank you, Pink Salt, for such a lovely experience! We’ll definitely be back.

Reallt tasty food, comes out fast. Service overall good but one young waiter was very awkward and was poorly trained. He kept reaching across our faces with his arm instead of moving around our bodies and use his right arm from our right side, which I found annoying. Atmosphere is OK but could be improved.

As an Indian, I approve the food here 🤗

Had an early (5:00 pm) dinner on a Saturday. We were the only ones present. The restaurant was fully booked between 6:00 a. 8:00 and turned away a group of 3 who showed up Around 5:30 because they needed the table for reservations within the hour. It was very quiet when we were there, but i imagine it can get noisy when full. The chairs were very comfortable. Nicely decorated interior

Absolutely brilliant first time my wife and I were there and will definitely be back great staff very pleasant and most friendly staff I’ve seen for a long time would definitely recommend menu brilliant

Food was excellent. Service was very good, even though 2 mistakes were made but they were quickly rectified. Finally we ordered 2 double espresso. What we were served, was not espresso, it was weak instant or percolated coffee and for €8. What was otherwise excellent was spoiled at the end.
