    The food at Salted Egg is genuinely some of the best food I have had in Darwin! I love many restaurants in Darwin, and this food was extremely good! The service was a little slow, however, because I was enjoying the food so much, it didn't really have a greater impact. Thoroughly recommend and will most definitely be back - MANY times!

    Pavel was a most friendly and informative waiter. I was most impressed to watch the chef as he was teaching an assistant his meticulous way of plating the food. We enjoyed our selections.
