“Lovely place with nice food. Bobbed in for some lunch and now I'm stuffed. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Our server/ waiter did his best to accommodate for any extras we asked for.”

“Wrigley Claydon Solicitors had the pleasure of attending Indish Restaurant for a business meeting followed by a meal. We were most impressed by the warm welcome extended to us by Mr. Afsor and all members of staff. The atmosphere was exceptional, and the food was of the highest standard — both beautifully presented and delicious. We would highly recommend Indish for both private dining and corporate events. Our sincere thanks to the entire team for their outstanding hospitality.”

“I recently dined at Chef Diao, and it was an outstanding experience! The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for family dinners or a night out with friends. The menu offers a fantastic selection of authentic Chinese dishes, and every bite was bursting with flavor. I highly recommend the Casserole, it was cooked to perfection! The staff were friendly and attentive, enhancing our experience even further. Overall, I can’t wait to return and explore more of their delicious offerings!”

“What we really like about going to this Costa is that most times we are there there it's not too busy. Tables are spaced out well so that they don't tend to feel claustrophobic. The music is not too heavy, so we are able to enjoy both it and conversation. Not always a great selection of foodstuffs. And, although you can use your Costa card to add points, you can't redeem them at this location (bit of a pain). Still, it has also thought about families with very young children in providing a few things to do. On the whole, it's not a bad place to visit if you don't mind paying the Costa prices!”

“I've been to Oldham many, many times, and I've only just noticed they had a rollers. The Pecan cinnamon roll is soooo good. Seems like a nice place to eat in, and the service I received was very good.”

“Very nice. I enjoyed tray with kunafa and choclolate sauce along with brownies , strawberries and baby size pancake. Was so yummy shared with husband but still their was enough to eat for another 3rd person. Quantity was alot. I would recommend to try it definetly.”

“Great boozer in delph, was very busy as it was whit Friday contest, brilliant atmosphere, also had a outside bar. Staff were very good and pleasant to talk to. Well done.”

“For the first time I entered this pub I'm really enjoying it, good music super nice, I hope it stays that way.”

“Bright, clean & cosy pub. Lovely friendly staff. Good selection of beers at a reasonable price. They have some good live bands on too. Well worth a visit”

“We had a fantastic time at bottomless brunch! The drink and food selection was excellent — plenty of delicious options to choose from. The setting itself is lovely, relaxed, and perfect for a weekend treat. Our server, Jasmine, was absolutely brilliant — so attentive, friendly, and made sure we were well looked after from start to finish. We honestly couldn’t fault a single thing. Highly recommended!”

“Absolutely top place. Owners are amazing as are all the staff. They have amazing nights especially a Friday. Top door men pretty much a top time if you go. People are lovely, no trouble. Deffo recommend and the prices are amazing”

“Out and about in Manchester with Albrecht. Have not been in this non real ale pub in many years but fancied a pint of Guinness. A very good choice. Albrecht had a pint of Estrella. £12.20 for the two pints. A one room pub taken back to the bare brick. A small rear outdoor area. Impressive spirit collection. Very friendly staff. The toucan murals take me back 60 years; we had metal trays with the Guinness toucans when I was a lad. ( sister still has them!) They do have live music. Pipped music was pretty damn good.”

“first time i went to this shop i bought peri full chicken and chips with all salad and put some sauces in to the food was awsome and do recommend A1 i think his name was waheed great thank you guys”

“Decades. Nostalgia! Still delicious classic mild donner and chips. For a decent price too. What’s not to like”

“Lovely staff, amazing range of vintage items to choose from :)”

“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.”

“Great treat wonderful taste genuinely value for money a definite for next time highly recommended give yourself a treat and try the ice cream sundae”

“Lovely traditional pub with a decent selection of well maintained beer, live music every week and loads of old photos of the local area. The staff are friendly and helpful. I would recommend”

“Great local pub with friendly staff and good prices on beer. Just beware of ordering spirits as they can end up being very expensive for a double. Sunday dinner is really cheap and cheerful at less than 7 quid for a HUGE plate of food that even a fat guy like me can never finish. Saturday night atmosphere is great with karaoke.”

“Very friendly pub on Manchester Rd. Welcoming staff and friendly locals. Pool table available, and sports show. Unicorn ale available.”

“Best kebab in a long time and met me old work mate grabber”

“I've never tried the food like this in my entire life they are the best I wish I could give them 10 stars..”

“Absolutely brilliant food. I’ll be going again soon. Food was piping hot and really tasty. The restaurant was empty which is sad. People should be supporting small businesses. I’ll be going again for sure.”

“Absolutely great food at Gourmet. The place is clean the fresh is amazing very juicy and tender. The chicken steaks full of flavour and would definitely go again. Mocktails were really nice as-well. Friendly staff members and great customer service.”

“Honestly, one of the best noodles takeaway that I have been to. They have variety of options that you can order, as well as their food is freshly made and tasty. Top customer service.”

“Westwood east restaurant is a top rated restaurant in the north-west of england because of their food quality and world class service and the well explained and well organised staff. Anyone who would like a top Indian food experience I recommend you come here. The main staff members who stood out to me were Mr Jamal Uddin and Mr Ridwan who both helped me out during my experience here. Following facilities are available, plenty of free car parking, a meeting and conference room available, small and big party advance booking available. Oldham Town Centre within walking distance. Westwood tram station nearby. Manchester airport within 20/25 minute drive.”

“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.”
