This Diwali, Saltt at Karjat invites guests to experience the sweetness of tradition through an exclusive festive dessert menu in collaboration with P·TAL – a brand that celebrates India’s living legacy of handcrafted metalware.
At Saltt, every dish tells a story – of local produce, seasonal inspirations, and soulful craftsmanship. For the festive season, the culinary team reimagines beloved Indian sweets through modern sensibilities, while retaining their timeless warmth. From decadent halwas to redefined mithais, each creation evokes nostalgia while offering a touch of contemporary flair.
The desserts are served in P·TAL’s exquisite handcrafted brass and copperware vessels that hold not just food, but stories, rituals, and intention. Every piece is crafted by India’s UNESCO-listed artisans, bringing alive an age-old rhythm of metal being shaped by hand – the same rhythm that once echoed in traditional Indian kitchens.
