a return visit, as a treat before going on a trip away. Food even tastier than I remembered, unique flavours, would visit every week if we could! The bread even bigger than before and makes any other nan or pitta seem dull. A warm welcome as always. Thank you.

We had heard good things about Dorrington Hall so decided to try it for my mom's birthday back in April. On arrival place did not look up to much but we were pleasantly surprised once we got inside. Although we went on a sunday afternoon we expected it to be busier than it was, our waitress seemed a little confused... More

Dear Charl 1991 Many thanks for the kind review. I am delighted to find out that you enjoyed the food. As regards outside, we got a bit behind due to the atrocious weather (and some lack of funds!); since it picked up, in the last fortnight, we have maintained the gardens and the borders! As Saturday nights are extremely busy,... More

I have visited here a couple of times over the past year and the standard of food and service is superb. I have pretty much visited all eateries in Shrewsbury and the local area and many I would not choose to go to again but this one is definitely worth going to. There is so much passion that goes into... More

I had no idea what to expect from Persian food, other than indications from other reviewers, but the set buffet was delicious and we all found food to enjoy. If you're a bit wary of unfamiliar food, don't worry. The staff will guide you, and there's a good indication as to the spiciness of the dishes. I avoided the one... More

It's some time since I heard the restaurant owner interviewed on Radio Shropshire. At the time, I thought Persian food sounded very interesting. Three years later...my partner brought me for a 'surprise night out'. We were first in, but the restaurant quickly filled, indicating that, although in a rural location, it has a good reputation and can draw the crowds.... More

Since our previous review we have visited twice, and we haven't been disappointed. It was Saturday evening and the restaurant was busy. The main reason for this review is that we forgot to mention the naan, which is unlike anything we have had in any other restaurant, and is light and crispy and utterly delicious.

The restaurant was quiet (only one other couple), perhaps because it was mid week. The atmosphere was still good and the food and service were excellent. I recommend the set meal which offers great variety and big portions!

I live in Shrewsbury only 4 miles away but had not visited this retaurant before, although I had heard enthusiastic reports. It met expectations with dishes that were well thought out with flavours that were subtle without over use of spices. The owner and staff were friendly and informative and we first had a starter that was brought to our... More

We visited this restaurant recently for a family meal. Never having tried Persian food before we were not sure what to expect but we were suitably impressed with what we found. We opted for the taster menu which provided us with a variety of starters, breads, meat and vegetable courses - all delicious and we could have top ups on... More
