Curry Chef Winner LogoWinner of “Shropshire Curry Chef of 2013″

I am delighted to announce that I was voted the Best Curry Chef in Shropshire for 2013/14 – thank you everyone for your kind words. Read all about my Curry Chef Competition experience here.

Shrewsbury Restaurants are becoming renowned for their diverse cuisine. Old Hall Persian Influenced Restaurant is considered to be amongst the best restaurants in Shropshire.

Through time, Persian cuisine has grown and influenced the culinary mores of the Middle East, Central Asia and India.

Persian cooking is renowned for its elaborate rice dishes, delicious kababs, nourishing soups and hearty stews.  Persians delicately flavour their food with herbs, spices and dried fruits.  A variety of nan-like impressive flat breads supplement rice.  Pomegranates and dates provide a sweet finish to meals.

Our cooking is dominated by simplicity and yet the results are amazing; to look at, to smell and to taste!  It is full of pleasant surprises!

Fusion of Persian and North Indian Cuisine is our speciality. Please note that we are NOT an Iranian Restaurant anymore! Our food is unique to us.

Dr Lal Haider is a former Shropshire surgeon who swapped his doctor’s coat for chef’s whites and in recent years has become renewed for his unique slant on Persian Cuisine, influenced by more Western Palates, but still with a definitive nod to his Persian roots.

In recent years Dr Lal has been as accredited as a chef, as he was a doctor.
