The restaurant is owned by Razak Helalat who opened the Coal Shed which has been an overnight success, quickly making a name for themselves as serving the best steaks in town. He has teamed up with Dariush Tamadon-Nejad, previously of Restaurants Etc Ltd (Mark Hix), to act as General Manager of both The Coal Shed and The Salt Room.
The Salt Room heralds a very welcome addition to Brighton’s burgeoning food scene.
