SALT - Street Food Kitchen & Bar in Darlington

Ah, SALT in Darlington – what a gem for anyone craving some elevated street food with a cosy bar feel. I've got to say, the burgers and sides are spot on; they're packed with flavour and really make the meal something special, like those cheesy garlic fries or the bao buns that folks rave about. It's a lovely place to kick back with mates, enjoying the comfortable setting and that global twist on the menu – think tacos and Korean chicken that keep things exciting. But, let's be honest, it's not all perfect; you might find yourself waiting a good while for your order, and sometimes it turns up a bit cool, which takes the edge off. Plus, the portions can be on the smaller side for what you're paying, and with them only opening evenings a few days a week, it's easy to miss out if you're not organised. Still, with such a solid overall rating, it's well worth popping in if you're nearby – just go in with realistic expectations and you'll likely have a great time.
