Salsa at Corinthians bring some authentic Greek cuisine for the food lovers, while they also serve best of Indian dishes

Names like Revithokeftedes and Dolmades Mezes might not set you drooling, and if you said its Greek to you, you would be right as authentic Greek food is being served at the restaurant Salsa, at Corinthians. To solve your problem, while Revithokeftedes (at Rs 275) are chickpeas cakes, Dolmades Mezes (at Rs 350) is lamb rolls with Vine leaves. Serving some traditional delicacies from the land of rich culture and history, Greece, the ambience at the restaurant complements the cuisine. While soft music in the background just sets the mood right to indulge and have some good talking over it, pictures of stalwarts like Charlie Gabriel, Paul Whiteman, Horace Silver and Marlyn Monroe also give direction to the discussion.

Arun Arora, general manager, says, "Greek food though is not popular here in India, but it's very near to the Indian palate, only a bit lighter in oil and spice content. While we have Indian avtaars of Chinese and even Italian dishes, Greek is not easy to experiment with. Though it involved risk to introduce Greek food, but a calculated one."

Another highlight of the Greek food served there is that it is more towards the healthier side of the taste, where it takes care of taste and health with equal emphasis. "While baked bread (chapatti like bread make with special flour) and Patates Tigarites (special cheese on boiled potato at Rs 275) gives you a healthy feel, food items like Vegetarian Mousaka (Rs 325), a dish that is associated with celebration, introduces the rich Greek palate with potatoes, eggplant, zucchini, mushrooms and much more. An extensive use of olive oil makes eating much tension free for people who count calories.
