A unique dining experience has arrived in the heart of the capital with the opening of The Salt Road Doha, the famed South African dining concept.

Founded by renowned South African chefs Craig Cormack and Beau du Toit, with Chef de Cuisine Calum Anderson, The Salt Road Doha is the first of its kind to open outside South Africa and celebrates salt as a vital ingredient in food preservation and flavour enhancement.

The concept draws inspiration from the global salt trade, from the Mediterranean Sea to the Sahara, transforming this ancient mineral into the hero of its menu, which encourages diners to take a journey with curated dishes that reflect diverse culinary traditions. Each plate is crafted to honour the historical significance of salt in shaping cultures and cuisines worldwide.

Located on the ground floor of the new Andaz Doha by Hyatt, the restaurant marks a key milestone in the lifestyle hotel’s mission to provide authentic and immersive experiences by offering a culinary destination boasting succulent wholesome dishes catering to all tastes.

With a focus on sustainable and farm-fresh produce, it offers a dining experience that is both innovative and deeply rooted in cultural heritage with an offbeat menu featuring signature items with various types of tantalising salt.

Dishes include a refreshingly sweet Cape Malay Carrot Salad, a Salt Baked Celeriac, paired with fried artichokes and pumpkin gnocchi, offering rich and earthy flavours, and a South African Melktert treat for a sweet finish, with charred pickled stone fruit and burnt cinnamon ice cream.

With an open kitchen, farm-to-table ingredients and a communal chef’s table, The Salt Road Doha offers an interactive and immersive experience where guests engage with the culinary team. By day, the eatery fosters a sociable atmosphere with open seating, while by night, it transforms into an intimate retreat with warm lighting and cosy accents. ✤
