Tasty takeaway options in Oldham

“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 review will be updated with more photos eventually! Smashville Oldham is head and shoulders above the competition in the area. Using well seasoned prime mince and having some of the best chicken tenders around, there are many reasons to make a second order here. Initially, we bought the munch box, which comprises of a choice of two patties, two tacos, two tenders, a portion of chips, drinks and a waffle. I can't explain in words how good the box is, because each bit is as different and flavoursome as the last. The products in the pictures are a set of their seasoned tenders, Korean (spicy) tenders and a biscoff waffle. The chicken has a light batter that is crunchy to the taste and is smothered in Korean spicy sauce. Stronger than buffalo, it's something most people will find a comfortable level of heat. The review left here has to state that Just Eat are a shocking method to choose to buy food from these guys through. At no fault of their own, the Just Eat driver we had either ate or lost part of the order. Smashville went above and beyond to try and arrange a remedy on the day, but being a Friday it was busy and just not possible. They have however, made upon request, the missing elements of the order with some free additional tenders and a waffle to boot. I have genuinely never had a takeaway where the staff have been as polite or gone above and beyond to fix an issue that wasn't even their fault. We will be returning to Smashville and I encourage you to do the same. Screw Just Eat.”

“Very hygienic with friendly staff. Service quick and food was great.”

“Excellent service and the food is very tasty I would recommend this place to anyone who likes pizzas and grill food especially to go and try it out”

“I've been here twice recently (once drunk), and both in the rain, though that's hardly relevant. These guys have accommodated my request of a non menu meal thrown together in a tray I can carry and eat whilst walking (one time stumbling) home. The foods always been fresh, hot and delicious. Check it out. For the record, it's a tray with chips, battered chicken balls and satay sauce. It's about £7 and well worth it!”

“Second time we have had pizza from here and it's great. We drove 20 mins from Ramsbottom so it's not far and knowing it's a 100% vegan place is reassuring. The Marinara was delicious and my boyfriend had the Prosciutto and Fungi for the second time which he raves about. It's his favourite pizza. It would be awesome if they could deliver but the fact that there is a vegan place so close, well, we can't wait to actually go in and eat and have a night out there with some mates in a few weeks time (hopefully)!”

“Great little butty van. Friendly chaps with good banter. I had a bacon, sausage and egg breakfast sandwich and it was spot on. Can't fault it.”

“Delicious bagels with wonderful fresh ingredients. Service is lovely and welcoming. Amazing place to pop in for a morning coffee, brunch, lunch or an afternoon sweet treat. Delish!!!”

“We dined here on a Wednesday evening on the £13.95 special offer menu. Fantastic value fo money. The food was lovely. Highly recommended.”

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Lana Thai Food in Oldham and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience. This cozy little restaurant offers a fantastic selection of traditional Thai dishes that are sure to satisfy any food lover's cravings. The standout feature of Lana Thai Food is undoubtedly the amazing flavors that are packed into each and every dish. The food is bursting with authentic Thai flavors, and every bite is an explosion of taste. I particularly enjoyed the garlic chicken with rice, which was cooked to perfection. The chicken was tender and succulent, and the garlic added a wonderful aromatic touch to the dish. It's definitely a must-try! One of the things that impressed me the most about Lana Thai Food is the excellent value for money. The prices are incredibly reasonable, especially considering the generous portions that are served. You definitely won't leave this place feeling hungry! Whether you're dining alone or with a group, you can be assured that you'll get your money's worth and more. Another highlight of my visit was the warm and friendly atmosphere created by the lady who owns the restaurant. She greeted me with a genuine smile and her friendly nature made me feel right at home. Not only is she welcoming, but she's also incredibly funny, adding a touch of humor to the dining experience. Her passion for Thai cuisine is evident, and she's more than happy to recommend dishes and answer any questions you may have. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Lana Thai Food in Oldham. The food is delicious, the prices are reasonable, and the portions are generous. The owner's friendly and humorous nature adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the dining experience. Whether you're a Thai food enthusiast or simply looking for a fantastic meal, Lana Thai Food is a must-visit. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!”

“Had lovely fish chips and curry. Also tried the gyros platter which is a taste sensation. Would definitely recommend this place. Staff are nice and polite and the shop is very clean 5*”

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

“YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. This is the only burger place we go it beats all burger joints including five guys we never been disappointed. We have recommended to family and friends and they now order from here”

“Visited this place as the reviews on Google looked amazing. We arrived for brunch and we were greeted with a very friendly member of staff. The place was about 10% full, which was great for us! This place has a good selection of breakfast/brunch options, as well as many savoury, desserts, ice cream flavours and hot/cold drink options. I eat vegetarian, vegan and halal food. this place is 100% halal. We got the Berries, Pancake Stack, Turmeric Latte, Brioche French Toast and an Iced Latte. We did have to wait long for our order, however it was well worth it. The berries pancake stack that I had Was deliciously light and airy. I could tell it was made fresh. The menu did not mention the addition of chocolate sauce on the pancakes, however I wasn’t fussed about this. It was actually a nice addition to the dish. The turmeric latte was also tasty, and made me feel nice and warm. As turmeric does not properly mix properly with liquid, there was some turmeric left at the bottom of the mug, however I didn’t mind this. Overall, we had a very positive experience at this place and I highly recommend it to friends, couples and families!”

“I visit Georgia’s frequently. The food is served to a high standard, it’s delivered quickly and the service is always amazing. I’ve brought family from abroad and they’ve said the best burger’s they’ve tried are from this place. Can’t get anything like it anywhere. Lovely people, lovely place. Definitely recommend.”

“The best pizza in the area. Always delivers on time, pepperoni pizza is soooo good! 100% would recommend!”

“The pizza is so crusty and delicious. The staff extremely respectful and the most important thing, it is very clean, staff using gloves cooking with great care. Would totally recommend!”

“So I was about to go to Sainsbury's cafe when I chanced upon this lovely little cafe. Pleasant place for a nice bite to eat. Only takes cash so make sure you have some on you. The price is reasonable and the staff are helpful.”

“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.”

“Best Chinese chippy in Oldham. Never had a bad meal from here but sadly will close their doors for good on 7th May 2023 at 10pm.”
