Amazing experience at Shimlas Oldham! The food was delicious and beautifully presented — we loved the “Chicken Dynamites and Chicken Donner. Aseeba was very friendly, professional and attentive, making us feel truly welcome. The ambiance was perfect. Highly recommend for a memorable meal. We’ll definitely be back!

I really enjoyed our night out with the lads here. It's nice for families too. Delicious food, good atmosphere and friendly staff. The owner, Kashif, seems like a great guy. I would definitely recommend this place 👌🏼

Been here twice now and love the flavours they have. It is on a busy road with limited parking behind the restaurant but there are a few parking spots not too far away. You must remember, if you park behind the restaurant, you have to provide your vehicles registration number otherwise you'll get a fine However, the restaurant is walking distance from the town centre. The restaurant looks very nice and clean 10/10 and you can tell they take care of the place. Both times we went was lunch time but it seems like it's always busy. They have many options on the menu and the lamb chops take about 20-25 minutes to cook so best to order them as soon as you sit down if you want them. They are delicious and worth the try. However, what we ordered the second time, didn't take long to arrive and took about 15 minutes. The service was great, they are always smiling and happy to help, assist and answer questions. The food had a mix of flavours and although we were quickly full, we could not resist the delicious food and had to finish everything by only giving back the plate empty. Recommend you try the dynamite prawns. Prices are a little higher than some other places but worth it if you want quality, that little extra is worth it. Will definitely be going back Again and can recommend. Might even try a take away soon too. Great place, great service and great food. Perfect!

Absolutely love shimlas this place is always a good shout. Food is always 10/10 family friendly and there’s free parking around the back just log your reg in when you go inside, or there is a pay and display across the road. The lamb chops are always 10/10 flavour wise and the meat so tender. Love the fish pakoras can eat loads of them lol. The fresh lamb balti or lamb chop tikka masala is our favourite curry. Blue lagoon mocktail is nice. Over all this place is always a good choice and I would certainly recommend.

Lahori Grill and Tawa is amazing! The food is super fresh and full of flavor. Their Lahori Tawa is hands down one of the best things I’ve tried—perfectly cooked and so tasty. The staff especially Hammad was really friendly and helpful. Loved the ambiance too. Perfect for having a great time with family and friends. 100% recommended! Will definitely try it again.

Valentino

A big thank you to Seb and staff at Valentino’s for looking after us at all of our meetings and our big event in May. Nothing is too much trouble and the restaurant has started to feel like home! The function room is perfect for our meetings and we love eating before too. The food is always great. The catering for our event was first class too. We had a film launch with a buffet for about 50 people. Pizzas and pasta were cooked continuously over the evening to ensure everything was fresh and hot. No one left hungry! Seb was happy for us to decorate the room (and outside!) for the occasion. Valentino’s is a gem. Small and cosy. It feels like going to an Italian family for dinner. Proper Italian food!

I’ve been coming here for over 20 years and it’s consistently good. There’s nothing flash, just authentic Italian food, made with fresh ingredients, cooked well and at sensible prices. You can have a three course meal here for the price of a main in Manchester. The specials board always has something interesting (frogs legs on occasion!!) but the steaks are my favourite. I usually have the Rossini (see photo) with ‘special peas’ as I’m too fussy to eat the veg that comes with it. Pizzas and pasta great too. Save room for Seb’s tiramisu!

This is a right gem. Went on Friday afternoon before it was closed. Tracey and the girls were dead friendly and helpful. The place is spotless with a 5*hygiene on the door. I ordered a blt baguette, the best blt I've had, proper cooked bacon and fresh French baguette out the oven, and generous with the bacon. Plus being Friday I had a chips with gravy. Can't fault this place.

One day, I was very hungry during lunchtime, went into the restaurant and ordered chicken karahai, and freshly made hot hot chapati. There is halwa puri as well. Don't miss and try it yourselves!

Very friendly staff, recommend booking, car park not very big but can park on the road. Food choice amazing, curry night on Mondays, Tapas 5 dishes for £20 on Thursdays and Saturdays, set menu great value, lots of specials on the board both main and starters. Excellent choice of meals on the main menu, average prices, we had the Moroccan lamb , very spicy served with rice or chips and vegetables, generous portion, really tasty, food came quickly, seating outside but not dog friendly inside, didn't ask but they probably would allow dogs outside, best to check . A bit hard to find but we'll worth the effort, thanks to all the staff, and the Chef, your food was delicious

Tomato and roast pepper soup 10/10 Pea and ham soup 10/10 Gammon eggs chips 10/10 Steak and cheese pie 10/10 Massive let down was the mashed potato 🥔 really bland mash not buttery or creamy. We are looking forward to visiting again for the cheese and onion pie I just really hope the mashed potato is improved. The homemade soups were absolutely gorgeous the food was served piping hot, staff were lovely the service was fast even when super busy. It only works out £20-30 per person which is fantastic!

One of the best and most consistent dessert places. Always come here when I fancy something sweet in Oldham. The service is always spot on and if there’s a problem the staff always sort it out. They handle busy times very well, still getting your dessert out in good timing. Atmosphere is nice and there’s plenty of seating, including sofas for that extra level of comfort.

Amazing food and experience! I must say, it's actually one of the best places to go for a chill and enjoy desserts in Oldham. Desi chai is top as it's freshly made to order. Friendly staff and very considerate. I went in with my little one and they helped me to warm my food up and his milk bottle with care 🥰. Thankyou once again! Also, parking is very easy 👌

A small group of us ate at the Kings Arms last week for a lovely catch-up meal. I'd read many of the reviews, so I was excited to visit myself, and it did not disappoint. The food we had was presented very well and the service was wonderful. We very much enjoyed our visit and would not hesitate to return if ever in the area.

I recently visited the Boathouse Cafe and had a delightful experience! The staff were incredibly polite and friendly, making us feel right at home. The atmosphere was lovely, creating a perfect setting to enjoy a relaxing break. The cafe was also very clean, which added to the overall pleasant experience. One of the highlights was the stunning view of the lake, providing a beautiful backdrop while we enjoyed our drinks and snacks. There was a fantastic variety of cakes and drinks to choose from, catering to all tastes. Whether you're looking for a quick coffee or a sweet treat, there's something for everyone! I highly recommend the Boathouse Cafe for anyone looking for a charming spot to unwind and enjoy great service!

Set in a Beautiful location. The friendly staff sell; Delicious "Pure Coffee" in association with the Pure Innovations Charity to help those in the local community in need of support. Reasonable prices and Tasty Food. From Breakfast, Lunch and Dessert. I tried their Mocha with Soya Milk along with a Cheese and Ham Panini including a fresh side salad. Plenty of still and fizzy drinks in the fridge and a variety of Ice Creams. Unfortunately the Cafe doesn't allow dogs inside. But there are tables and chairs outside.
