Nestled in the heart of Karjat, Oleander Farms has a recent history that adds charm to its environment. In 1991, the family purchased 11 acres of land in Karjat, creating a peaceful retreat for the Ahuja family. Weekends spent amidst nature evolved into cherished celebrations, with Diwali and special occasions drawing friends and relatives together. Over time, the younger generation began choosing the farm for their weddings, prompting the development of picturesque lakes and venues.
When COVID-19 struck, the family made the farm their full-time home. Amid the pandemic, their Ahujas embraced a long-held dream - transforming the property into a thriving restaurant famously known today as “Saltt Restaurant & Bar”.
