Salt’n Pepper opens first overseas restaurant in London

By James Russell: Salt’n Pepper opens first overseas restaurant in London

January 16, 2014

It is generally accepted that London has the best curry and Tandoor cuisine outside Asia and most recommendations direct tourists towards the city’s Brick Lane. This can no longer be considered the case, with a number of quality pan-Asian establishments popping up across the city in recent years.

Now, Salt’n Pepper London has opened, the first overseas restaurant of Pakistan’s revered Salt’n Pepper Group. The group was established over 30 years ago by the renowned hotelier, restaurateur and food writer Mr. Mahmood Akbar, with the first restaurant launch in Lahore in 1983. The restaurant group is considered Pakistan’s most recognised and distinguished hospitality brand.

The bona fide tastes and traditions of Pakistani dining 

Salt’n Pepper takes as its mission statement the desire to bring the authentic flavours and culinary sensibilities of traditional Pakistani cuisine to the UK, with the aim being to re-educate both locals and visitors to London about the bona fide tastes and traditions of Pakistani dining. The restaurant aims to set this unique cuisine apart from its Indian neighbours, to project its own identity within the world’s culinary landscape.

The new, modern restaurant offers diners a choice of much-loved classic Pakistani dishes with traditional influences from the Punjab, Sindh, Turkish, and Persian regions, by presenting these time honoured dishes in a contemporary setting.

Pakistani chefs, including BBQ, Tandoor and even Biryani specialists deliver rich, vibrant yet healthy dishes that truly reflect the nation’s ethnic and cultural diversity.

Salt’n Pepper adapts historic and traditional cooking methods and presents these delectable dishes with simplicity, combining the freshest ingredients with all natural flavours and spices to bring diners a truly authentic feast for the senses. Some of the acclaimed regional specialities include kebabs, karahis and biryanis, prepared to Mr Mahmood Akbar’s secret, signature recipes.
