Favourite takeaways in Oldham

“Absolutely love the food here always fresh and delicious.We always order the extra spicy king prawn fried rice and it never fails always satisfying!We always dine in but you can also take out.I would very much recommend this place. The two lady who work there are very lovely and friendly. It's my favourite thai place.”

“Food is amazing. The special mix shashlik for two is one of the best kebabs I've ever had and I've sampled a lot!!! 10/10 all round”

“This place has certainly become my go-to option on Uber Eats. Always some decent promotions going on with some food items on half the price. I must say I am always impressed with the packaging and quantity of food. The containers are absolutely loaded up to the brim, and the food is delicious. There are lots of options to choose from from the menu. I love the concept of 3 different gravies on a portion of rice, with each bite having a different taste to it. I have ordered about 4 times already, and I am always craving for more. Their chapatis are bang on. Can't fault much about them, to be honest. If suggestions are asked for, then perhaps they need to improve on their delivery times. Can take up to 100 minutes on a Friday. Also, might also need to hold off on the extra layer of oil added on every portion . It makes the food slightly oily and less clean. Love from barkwell lane”

“Nice clean cafe, staff were friendly and the food was great.”

“Friendly staff, speedy service, lovely food and an ideal location. Really enjoyed our visit. Thank you!”

“We had never used them before but the one we normally use was closed and at the last minute having guests arriving to expect our normal meal had to ring Couldn’t have been more helpful on the phone , it arrived on time hot and the quality was extremely good , we will use them again”

“Lovely Chinese takeaway. The family are so nice especially mother and daughter who tend be out front. Food is excellent I really enjoy it. My personal favourites are the barbecue spare ribs ( dry) very little fat on these and delicious and Char Siu satay delicious and just enough spice and heat but not too much. We have never been disappointed with our food and as we tend to have a big order there's always something added free like prawn crackers or drinks. I used to live near to happy house but I'm a little further away now and don't get to see the lady who owns it but I wish her all the very best, she always gave the children and I fortune cookies and was ever kind and gracious”

“Wow popped in for a burger on my way home, lad said there's a bit of a wait, then changed his mind and said no, we will get it done for you now pal and went out of his way to get my food for me. The food was beautiful, service was excellent !!! Please pop in or give them an order”

“I've frequented green chilli for years n years for as long as I can remember and never had an issue with there food, everything I've ordered from there for am excample dinner kebabs on nan or pitta, fries, Asian style tikka kebabs, onion bharjis, tandoori chicken, Pakoras, pieces of chicken tikka, all the side items, chicken, burgers, I've been enjoying a meal deal called south Indian thali which consists of 3 curries, a chicken korma, chicken tikka massala and a lamb curry (can't think of the name right now) i can tolerate spicy food and do enjoy it but when it comes to curry my favourite is chicken korma its always been the same followed by chicken tikka massala so this deal is perfect for me. You also get a nan bread, a tandoori chicken leg, pieces of chicken tikka, chicken pakoras and salad and sauce if required I order it for myself as my kids won't eat curry so i have some then have seconds the day after so there's definitely enough to go around although if you like a pile of rice I'd order an extra potion but it's an absolute bargain staff are always kind and friendly they temporary shut for a while not so long ago and they certainly was missed from all of threw local customers definitely recommend z”

“Ah, Cheerful Garden. A name that conjures up memories of my OG Fiat Punto, Friday nights, and the purest form of salt and pepper chicken imaginable. My cousin and I, two seasoned veterans of Friday night feasts, embarked on a pilgrimage back to the hallowed halls of this culinary institution after nearly two decades - both having moved away. The anticipation was palpable. Would the magic still be there? Had the years dimmed the flavor, dulled the spice? We nervously approached the dimly lit sign, our hearts pounding like teenage drummers. The aroma hit us like a tidal wave, a symphony of sesame oil, garlic, and pure, unadulterated deliciousness. Nostalgia washed over us, stronger than a particularly potent Satay sauce. But alas! Tragedy struck. After rattling off our order with the fervor of a seasoned auctioneer, I was met with a chilling realization. The sight of a grown man totting up on a casio calculator can only mean one thing... cash only. My heart sank. Years of climbing the corporate ladder, of meticulous budgeting, of carefully navigating the treacherous waters of modern finance, had all led to this – a cash-only Chinese takeaway. Despair threatened to consume us. Luckily, my cousin, a man of resources (and apparently, a card-carrying member of the American banking system), had plastic. But the ordeal was far from over. Finding a cash machine in Lees, a town that seemed to exist outside the realm of modern convenience, proved to be a Herculean task. We circled the "Co-op" (now an Aldi, a cruel twist of fate), only to find ourselves cash-less and craving. Just as hope began to dwindle, a beacon of light – a cash machine shimmering beside the legendary "Legends" – appeared. And whilst it accepted his Bank of America card, it was clear that the Chinese gods smiled upon us. And then, the feast. Salt and pepper chicken that could convert even the most ardent vegetarian, chow mein that danced on the tongue, black pepper chicken that set our souls on fire. The Singapore vermicelli, oh the vermicelli! And the soup, a fiery elixir that warmed our souls and banished all memory of our cash-related woes. Now, let's be real, reheating takeout is an art form. But even after a journey longer than most cross-country road trips and a brief stint in the air fryer, the Cheerful Garden experience remained unparalleled. It was an 11 out of 10 performance, an oriental masterpiece that could only have been orchestrated by the culinary gods themselves. If I didn't know any better, I'd say they must have droned it in from Beijing. Now, another 20 years may pass before I have a legitimate reason to return to Oldham. But when I do, you can bet your sweet and sour pork that Cheerful Garden will be my last stop.”

“It's been my favourite chippy for over 20 years I've tried every chippy around and found some good ones but always end up back at Great wall.”

“Very authentic Chinese food. Love the sweet and sour Chicken Hong Kong style. Go to for comfort food :)”
