Friends Restaurant in Oldham

It was my first time coming here a few weeks ago. I came with approx group of 8. We ordered extra nan and chips and the staff were very responsive and immediately had it sent over. We tried the chicken shawarma, Kobeda, and pizza and yes it was delicious. I’ll definitely be coming again.

The guy did not even listen me what i was asking him, he was rude and in the end packed all wrong order. Its a shame on those guys who works there, at least u can be more attentive to your customers!

Lovely place with very nice food and flavours

Excellent food been here 3 or 4 times now kobeda is dripping with flavour amazing juicy succulent chicken is the same everything is really nice nan is bought fresh as you eat sauces are amazing, my mouth is watering as I write this, staff are so friendly and no hassle do everything with a smile immaculately clean inside tables are constantly cleaned after customers leave my son loves it here SO DO I

I’ve been a customer of friends restaurant since it's been open and it never disappoints. Food is always delicious and fresh, staff are very friendly as always and brilliant service. Restaurant is always clean. I definitely recommend friends restaurant.

Great food. staff are really friendly too. Even offered to recook the chips cos the first batch were too greasy.

Love a mix kabab from here AMAZING 😊 Always fresh..... The lamb chops are beautiful!!!! Always a lovely meal feeds me and my partner 2 nans there happy to help.

I used to love this place! Everytime in Oldham I would come. This time waited 30 min for the Donnie and chips. No problem about waiting. But atleast listen to me. Tiny bit of Salad was dumped in a box and KETCHUP in a little tub. Told them I want it on top of the dinner and chips as always and the guy said NO I’m Too busy. No sauces not enough salad for the meals we ordered. I was disgusted.

Old guy with a small well behaved little dog, they served me,inviting me to wait inside. Told to leave a lesser take away a few doors down. And wow they even fed my little dog free kebab meat. Above and beyond service.

Beoutifull food very good customer servie and special dall soup next level. Thank u so much lads

I’m very disappointed with food and service. I ordered Lamb Qozi , but test was not good, I never recommended to anyone. Also you can serve by own (self service in restaurants), ridiculous. It’s a restaurant not a take away. Food was average and not hot in feb month. Just think about it.

I paid £8.50 just salad and mix Doner no nan donar is to dry probably 2days old just eat chicken staff no bother I wouldn’t recommend this place now a days £8:50 hard to pay

They charged me for salad but did not put it in bag. Always check your order .

Great quality food. Friendly staff and very clean.

Fresh as you can get. Always a great experience eating here. Can be difficult to get seating at peak times.

Friends is one of the best restaurants for arabian cuisine in city. Different types of kebab are special.

Another take away having great taste, they serve you friendly and make every customer their priority.

Always good has quality in food an excellent service thanks guys you seem to beat Santos in town 😀 👍🏾

Grilled chicken is fresh and tasty and so was kobeda but the shawarma chicken was bang average.

Best restaurant I ha e been too. Brilliant service and tasty food. 😋 JazakAllah

Nothing special about the food or service I wouldn't go there again. Disappointed.

Nothing special. All slammed on to a plate. Salad tasted more nice. Chicken was very crispy and was hard to bite. Naan was like poppadoms and donner was definitely not soft how it should be.

Can't believe their attitude when you have made a mistake on line,to be fair my fault but they wasn't interested. Food is great but that is it,staff need to learn to go extra mile for customers.

Went in for a pizza. Vertical clean, friendly staff and very polite. Will go again. Lovely pizza as well

My favourite restaurant to eat kebabs, but everything else is delicious too. I have moved out from Oldham but still going there every month just for the food.

Ate from here before and food is decent but service isn't the best, ordered today and it took them 45 mins or so to call and let me know they can't make my order which just wasted my time and had to deal with hungry child at home

Fantastic food. Recommended by a friend and they were 100% right to. Genuinely THE BEST kobeda and chicken tikka I have ever tasted. Served with soft naan bread and wonderful fresh salad. Service was excellent too. Plentiful parking available on side streets. Best food I’ve eaten from a takeaway or restaurant in a long, long time. Highly recommend Friends. 10/10 👏👏👏

Food is very nice and lovely but serves is not good. Need nice staff. Please

Takeout was great. Will be regular customers now

Food is quite quick and clean. Staffs are very friendly but the taste have to improve. Overall it's good.

Absolutely love their kobideh kababs

Ordered a takeaway for collection. Cheeseburger meal, garlic bread and tray of donner. Ordering was pretty straightforward. Got to Friends and seemed like chaos. The guy serving me seemed lost and didn't know much about my order. Eventually he got order together but I had to mention I had ordered a garlic bread and a drink for meals. On to the food, the burger was burnt and assembled upside down. Garlic bread burnt and harder than stone. The donner was okay, not the best but not the worst. Definitely alot better places in Oldham.

My favourite fast food place in town.

First time here. Food was great and enjoyed by all. Friendly helpful staff. All in all a great value evening out. Thankyou

Quick and Fresh food every time.

Been ordering from here probably since they opened but in the last 3 month I've lost count of how many times they have missed things off our order. After waiting 1hr 30mins and spending a minimum of £30 each time the last thing we want is to be missing food. The food is usually good hence the reason we kept going back but its not worth the disappointment anymore. I feel like you're just too busy to give a good service to everyone.

Great fresh food highly recommend

If I could give zero stars I would

One of the best food and restaurant places in all of Greater Manchester.

Ordered 2 items from the menu and have been waiting for almost 2.5 hours and still no food arrived, tried calling the restaurent a few times and no answer, will not be ordering again

Peace be upon you all guys. I think the food is good here however it does seem a bit steep for what they actually provide. Portions could be a bit bigger but paying £7 per burger meal definitely a bit steep. Fatayers seem to be the speciality though and kebabs which I would recommend - only issue with kebabs is they could be salted a bit more for extra flavour. Salads tend to be amazing and fresh as well as the roast chicken which is a real speciality for friends. Service could improve sometimes as I have found the staff to be a bit rude but depends who is there though.

Just ordered from friends takeaway for the first time, the meal was disgusting. The 3 portions of chips were like rubber and freezing cold, my nan bread was cold and like rubber, the chicken was just about warm and burnt and dried out and the kebab meals were the same very very disappointed absolutely rubbish do not go there avoid completely.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent food, service and price. Always busy for a reason.

Friendliest Staff Around, The Best Kobidah in Oldham! Nuff Said!

Best in Hathershaw and on Ashton Road!

Alright food couldn’t smoke my ecig tho

Excellent food, brilliant service and food was fresh

They did not give me my kebab meat still enjoyed it

We love friends we've never had a bad meal for what they do one of the best places in the Manchester area never mind Oldham we try to go at least once a week. Thanks

Been a regular customer for several months only to bite into a slice of pizza and almost break my teeth....random piece of plastic in the pizza. Unacceptable.

Best restaurant in the Oldham on best pizza, they have ever

Fresh, tasty, and a good choice on the menu. Definitely go back 😊

The food is awesome. Loved the koobideh kababs and the doner. Quick service aswell.

Their kobeda on Nan and fillet burger my daily diet. Love that.

Ordered the spicy chicken burger meal and it was soggy and bland. There was no batter on the chicken, no spice, loads of mayo and salad to drench any taste it may have had. It was my first time and last time ordering here.

I asked for a weird order of a plate of chips and a plate of salad. Was treated with respect, given generous portions of both and had really good service and for a very cheap cost too! Thank you!

Absolutely love this place great food great staff

Good value food and nice staff. 👌

Great food, love there pizzas, 16" brilliant for family's

Decent although they don't serve lamb shawarma hence had to go a few doors down to get a mixed shawarma on chips.

This place has been very popular since it opened and hasn’t looked back since. It has gone from strength to strength and is always busy whenever I go. The food is always fresh and on point! Highly recommend.

Excellent pizza’s Very tasty Fast delivery Nice delivery guy Highly recommend 5/5

Kobeda Fatayer Shawarma What more do you want?

This place never disappoints. Absolutely fresh salad. Moist and juicy kebabs. Naan bread always fresh off the tandoor. Lovely sauces to complement it.

Great kebab shop. I eat here once a fortnight when I'm working close by. I usually get the chicken shawarma on pitta but occasionally I'll go for a double kobeda on naan. I've also has some if the other dishes and the bean soups, which are excellent. The staff are great and the place is spotless, it's so good to see more and more kebab shops offering excellent food that you can eat during the day and stone cold sober. Not the old elephants foot of yesteryear at 3am!!! Thus is quality food that is resonably priced and a joy to eat.

Came here the other day for the first time. I have heard great reviews about this place. Every time I drive by its always busy. That's a good sign. Nice clean place. Staff were friendly. Price is a little on the expensive side. But portion was good and food was great. Definitely going again.

Amazing services and Great food

I would definitely recommend this place, the food it always delicious and freshly prepared, with a welcoming and friendly service

Walked in a and tried ordering food the guy who was taking my order doing 5 things and taking my order and guess what happend messed up my order and then I paid for 2 meals!! He wouldnt understand!!! Then refused to give me salad it doesn't come with it!! Pathetic behavior I know this place is very busy but they shouldn't be treating anyone like that all I ask for salad the guy said even if its a million pound worth order it's not coming with the order ridiculous!! Never again I hope these guys learn how talk to customer before anything!!

Chicken showrma smells off I will never order again

I wouldn't feed my dogs food from this place the first and last time i order from here and i definitely won't be recommending this place to any body

Donna meat just taste different. Massive selection of meats..

Not impressed at all. Ordered a vegetarian pizza and it was basically a cheese pizza with the thinnest slither of veg very sparsely scattered over it. Mustn't have used much say r either as it had dried into the pizza and couldn't even be tasted Chips were soggy. Won't be going again.

Absolutely fabulous, food was spot on and freshly cooked in front of me definitely will be back

Wasn't too happy with the food and service. Not going there again

!SHOCKING! We ordered at 7pm and it didn’t arrive until 8:40pm. Not only that, the donner wrap and donner kebab were swimming in grease, the chips were like wet cardboard. And to top it off, the food was cold. Will definitely not be returning

Excellent service quality food good priced

Avoid if you can we placed a order for delivery and half the order was wrong and items was missing and then some of the food was cold as it took just under 2 hours to come the chicken tikka is nice and Donner meat but, rest of the food was utter rubbish can't believe we wasted over 30 quid on this and can't believe the takeaway allowed this to happen.

Reasonable price with yummy taste.

Very nice and stylish restaurant. Food was delicious. Will visit again this restaurant. Thank you

Very nice Taste but sometime in rush because i order today doner kebab but i received chiken shawarma

The food here is absolutely superb and amazing value. Highly recommended.

Main chicken tikka look too small and rotten salad! Suppose be fresh food. Sauce is missing. Never again.

Best mix grill shwarma, donnet and tikka I've had, fresh bubbly naan, fresh salad, proper home made chilli sauce everything perfect 👌

Ordered a chicken shawarma meal from here. The chicken was very dry but still had a good meaty flavour. The chips were also dry and tough so perhaps had been microwaved or sitting on a hot plate for hours. The salad tasted fresh though.

Great quality middle Eastern food. Definitely will go again

Donner price his high everywhere esle cost £3.00 theses want £4.50 also the menu has gone up in price and when you confront them with the menu price the guy hangs up FRIENDS

Went to this place with the family, food and service was great!! Thanks boys!

Excellent chicken shawarma on naan, always delicious

great restaurant, their food there is so fresh and delicious, the staff are great and welcoming, the place is clean and the service is extremely good. I would recommend going.

Great kobida keebab and the Ayran was 👌
