SALT FACTORY
952 Canton St, Roswell
770.998.4850
Words cannot describe how disappointed we were to find out our favorite tapas bar, Little Alley, had recently closed down. Fortunately, owners Hicham Azhari and Fikret Kovac made it up to us by opening this little OTP gem, which was formerly known as Red Salt.
Set in the heart of Historic Roswell on the same foodie-friendly street as Indigo, Pastis and Rice, Salt Factory comes across like a swanky gastropub/wine bar offering comfort food with decidedly international influences. Brick walls and hardwood floors and tables give it warmth, while moody lighting and music give it the hip vibe of an intown hotspot (appropriate, since the night we visited the sidewalk was lined with people waiting to get in at 6pm).
We were delighted to see a few faves held over from the Little Alley menu, including Thai-Style Braised Beef Short Ribs and Keftegie, a North African veggie dip made from potatoes, pumpkin and chile sauce. We managed to find a few new favorites too, including Seared Ahi Tuna with roasted butternut squash and portobella mushrooms, and London Broil served with cheddar mashed potatoes and crispy onions. We were also excited to learn that Azhari and Kovac are opening a new restaurant (INC Street Food) just a few doors down soon, and can’t wait to see what they dream up next. –BRET LOVE
