Opened in 2018, this small café set below the fort is a real success story. Ignore the tiny room on the first floor to take shelter under the covered terrace upstairs.

Many backpackers find refuge here for a solid breakfast, a coffee, the time to write their logbook, or a meal before jumping on a bus or a train for their next destination. The service is a bit nonchalant, so it's better not to be in a hurry.

Salt modestly claims to be the best restaurant in Agra, which does not necessarily correspond to reality.

The momos cooked in the tandoor turned out to be disappointing as well as the chicken afghani, too dry. On the other hand, the restaurant's terrace, on the top floor, is very nice for a drink. It is huge and the tables are far enough from each other not to take advantage of the neighbors.
