Indian Ocean in Oldham

Excellent food, prices and staff. We have been going for years changes are made but always for the better. Totally recommend the chef specials.

We went for my birthday treat. Food was delicious good choice of drinks alsoThe restaurant is clean and nice decoration

Had a fabulous meal tonight on early bird menu New Year's Eve. What fantastic food for the price and brilliant service. Always have an outstanding meal, best curry for miles. See you in New Year Michelle and Russell

This place is a 10 out of 10 from going in to being served the staff are great nothing is to much trouble and the food is as great 👍

Well, yet again, thank you so to the staff at Indian Ocean never let us down no matter how many people are there. Brilliant food loves this place. I know I should not rave about this place as we might not get in next time. You must try this place you will love it. A++++++ THANK YOU INDIAN OCEAN

Well, once again not let down my second time here. 1st class service 1st class food & of course drink. The staff can not do enough for you even let you bring your own wine. We had a 13th birthday party & they treated us 1st class. There were about 20 adults and children they looked after everyone. 👏👏👏👏👍

I was staying in Oldham with work at the Premier Inn. After an extrememly disappoiting meal at the adjacent Brewers Fayre I decided to venture further afield and found Indian Ocean. I returned every night and had differnet dishes all of which were superb. The staff are readlly friendly, all food is served fresh and piping hot there isn't rally any more that you could wish for. I am returning to Oldham with work soon and will definitely be returninig

Went to Indian Ocean for the first time, but others from the party have been a few times. My wife & I were amazed with the food & service it was amazing. The staff were so friendly, a big thank you. We will be back. A little tip you must book a table the restaurant is large but we got there for 6pm left at 7.30pm & it was nearly full. That's how good it is. A BIG THANK YOU.

We ordered two different dishes that were identical when arrived. The food was bland, tasteless and disappointing

I visited with 10 members of my Family on Christmas day. I had the Turkey dinner and it was delicious, Turkey cooked to perfection. There was a choice of Indian meals which my Family enjoyed and the staff and service were spot on. We was never rushed. Better than any restaurants I have had Christmas Dinner in before. Definitely booking for next Christmas

Received a lovely, warm welcome on arrival from lovely, kind staff. Nothing was too much trouble for them and we had a really lovely meal. Food was delicious

We all ordered 4 different curries and they all tasted pretty much the same. All were supposed to be medium strength but they were all very mild. The service was pretty quick which was a worry as this is a very big restaurant and when they arrived they weren’t piping hot. The food was ok at best but you’re probably best sticking to the smaller ones We won’t be going back

Best Indian food tasted for ages, staff were very good. Restaurant clean and comfortable. Menu choice excellent and value for money. Faultless evening.

just another ordinary restaurant nothing special at its very hard to find a good indian restaurant in oldham that does something different such a shame ah well we will keep looking,

We had a takeaway via Uber eats. The food was very fresh and enjoyable. The price is good and lots of choice. Not visited for a while but will do soon

Never ordered a takeaway from here before, however have eaten in the restaurant. Just had a takeaway delivered absolutely amazing I have some tricky people to please in my household and they all absolutely thought the food was fantastic I would definitely recommend this restaurant and takeaway... ordering from here we used Deliveroo and the food was red hot ..... no complaints keep the hard work going thanks so much

We had a lovely meal on Saturday night. The food was fresh and tasty and the portions very large. This was lovely

Went to Indian Ocean restaurant last night with my family, I am in my daughter's support bubble, had a wonderful meal, great service, looked after by Jamal who couldn't do enough to make it a brilliant experience, gorgeous food, brilliant staff and so reasonably priced, social distancing was very well done, everyone felt safe,5 star evening.

Indian ocean is the only place where we go out to eat indian.The curries are the best especially the chicken madras and chicken chilli tikka masala.It was my birthday today and loved my complimentary strawberry daiquiri from my fellow liverpool fan.I have to say it was the best strawberry daiquiri i have ever had....

Just eaten at Indian Ocean taking advantage of the government offerThis restaurant has gone to a lot of trouble to implement covid restrictions and they have done it well,all waiters with masks on partitions between tables and yet it still having a relaxing atmosphere.Food was great too wewill definitely be going back.

First meal out after lockdown and it was worth the wait. Visited 6.30pm on a Saturday and have to say the service was excellent, all staff well trained on the current guidelines and polite as always at Indian Ocean. Fantastic food - £14.99 pp for 5 courses. Well presented and very tasty. Been here many times and it always hits the spot. Give It a go if you haven’t been before.

Beautiful food as always and fantastic service. The chicken tikka bhaji was so good. Would highly recommend.

Had a lovely meal here . We had the 5 course deal for 13 pounds 95 pence. The choice was varied and the food excellent. The staff are very friendly

We are regular visitors here never been disappointed. Large size restaurant well staffed good size free carpark at the side. We usually have the set menu slightly more expensive at the weekend but still worth it. Our service a little slower than usual even though not that busy. We had to ask a couple of times for our next item of our set menu. Hopefully this is only a one off maybe our waiter a bit distracted.We will still call here as we love the food chicken Tikka thawa a personal favorite

What a great time good and super food. A 5 course meal at a set price of £13.99 not that but you can take your own wine in and they don't charge corkage what a night we had highly recommended and will be going back.

Can’t believe the recent mediocre reviews of the Indian Ocean, we have been going for over 5 years and it is consistently excellent. Went for valentines meal which was probably the best meal we have ever had. They have introduced a few new dishes on the menu, the wife decided to try one, sizzling fish platter, it was amazing,I stuck with my usual tandoori mixed sizzling platter which was excellent as it always is. Staff here are brilliant and very attentive , Jamal served us and was excellent, shah friendly as he always is, thanks again for a fantastic meal, we are looking forward to our next visit already.

We were staying quite remotely so had little choice and opted for here.Good friendly service. Completely empty at 2130 hrs on a Tuesday nightBut they had had an indian wedding we are toldMixed starters were good. My wife’s duck dish just ok and my Chicken Methi not as good as Walsall recent visit. Felt like they had put left over chicken tikka pieces in it.Slightly surprised re prices, higher than average for this part of the world I thought.

went for the five course set menu it wasn't great the food was average the service was very poor wasn't helpful at all no pleasantries nothing from the waiter will not recommend or go back cooking of food was rushed onions and peppers under cooked

Fab place ,great staff , great food would definitely recommend to friends and will be going again .food was delicious the service was also great made to feel really welcome staff couldnt do enough for us

Best in the area Me and my family often eat here Great food,staff and price really is a nice place to eat try it .

My colleague and I are working up in Oldham, and we fancied a curry, so went on the trusted TripAdvisor, and found the Indian Ocean restaurant.This is where TripAdvisor is so good, the reviews were good, so we booked a table.We arrived at seven, we met by a friendly member of staff who set us down, he took our order within five minutes and the starters arrived within five minutes, we ordered our main meal and a few drinks and within 5 to 10 minutes everything was in front of us.The food was absolutely delicious, the fact that they were Asian families in the restaurant says a lot about the food. After about an hour we ordered the bill, which was extremely reasonable.I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough, if you are in Oldham and I’m looking for somewhere to have a meal please go here it’s brilliant!

Accommodated 30 family members for son's 30th birthday celebration! Cake provided by us and taken to restaurant, no problem.Been to many Indian restaurants over the years but without doubt this is up there as one of the best!Wonderful food, well presented and ample portions!The service was professional and excellent in every regard!Will be re-visiting! Well done!

Visited this restaurant on many occasions, would recommend to anyone who likes Indian food and value for money visit.

Came here for husbands birthday even though it was a week late, great food and wonderful company. Has the £14.95 5 course meal..worth every penny!!

This is our third visit here. We had the set menu. For starter i tried the garlic chicken chaat it was very tasty. For main I chose the chicken and cheese kofta one of my favourites from our local takeaway. It was very tasty nice and spicy. Followed by ice-cream and coffee then a shot of Bailey's to finish off the night. Would recommend it. Staff polite and friendly.

Celebrating our son’s 12th Birthday and he decided he wanted a curry for his birthday meal, heard of this place and decided to try it, 10/10 food and great staff!

Came here by recommendation and i was not dissapointed at all, the food was lovely and service was spot on. The restaurant is modern and stylish so all in all a great place and i would recommend any one to try this place if they get a chance.

Just got home after walking out!

In town for a short overnight stay with work colleagues and went here for dinner with 8 people. Easy to find, easy to book and the food was great. Unlikely to be anywhere near Oldham in the future but if I was I would certainly go again.

Came here as the previous place that I booked (last night) turned us away, shame on them. Rang up and booked a table instantly even though they are busy themselves. Will definitely be back at some point!!

Called here on a Sunday evening with friends. Ordered from the £13.99 set meal which is good value. Nice surrounding with a car park. Staff friendly &" helpful food cooked well with good portion sizes. Started with a favorite chicken chaat puri, followed by thawa chicken Tikka both delicious. With a side order egg fried rice for me then ice cream & coffee to follow rounded of with a Bailey's. Not sure if this is standard as we were quite a large group. Would call again as a good enjoyable experience

first time visit with my sister who is a regular ... great service and even better food .. staff very courteous

Went to ocean Indian for the first time last night went to order my main meal and the waiter bent down and quietly recommended that I may wish to choose different meal as he,d got a couple of complaints about that dish in the past and I asked what he,d recommend the dish he said was beautiful and I would not usually of ordered it they were friendly with being in your face and making you feel rushed the whole experience impressed me and my friend will be back again soon plus I,m disabled and the disabled toilet was large and spotless only thing I could say even though it didn't affect me is if your in a wheelchair the turning circle from entering the corridor into the toilet area maybe a little tight I never measured it but just thought I,d mention it so people are aware of it

We came for an early valentines meal, as usual the food was amazing at a great price. Really enjoyed my night.

I’ve visited Indian Ocean a few times prior with no issues.

Every time we visit from Australia we come here for a top quality curry. Have even been known to come in twice per trip. Excellent food, always spot on what ever we order. Very efficient & courteous staff. Very reasonable prices for both food & drinks. Thank you Indian Ocean you never fail to impress us

We have been going to the Indian Ocean for years now and I must admit it is my favourite place to eat. Food is always first class, staff are amazing. We have never had a bad experience here. I was quite shocked to hear some negativity about the Indian Ocean recently and following our latest visit I can honestly say the standard of food, service and surroundings are the best! We would not go anywhere else and will continue to go to the Indian Ocean as the whole experience is consistently first class. Thank you shah and all the staff, you are a credit and please keep up the good work!

Went for my 50th Birthday and our wedding anniversary meal. Excellent food and service as always highly recommended as always.

We have tried most restaurants in oldham but we still go back to the indian ocean, they have got everything just about right, the price, service, atmosphere and most importantly the food.

We only ate here once and that was enough.

Called in for a table for four and although busy we were taken straight to a table.

Always go here. This is our go to place of we fancy a curry for tea. Never had a bad meal and it is always enjoyed by me and my family! We've even had a few family gatherings here too. Added bonus you can take your own wine!

The staff are friendly and welcoming, the restaurant very clean and nicely decorated, modern, we have been as a couple but more recently as a family, the staff were great, a high chair provided for our little one and we were well looked after. We had a party of 8, the food was excellent and whilst the prices are already reasonable the bill was still lower than expected as we ordered off menu and they put it through on the weekly special deal, we hadn't realised we qualified for it, it was a nice surprise. They don't ask for tips when you pay as some restaurants do but they are well worth a tip!

Food is always delicious from here.

I went for the midweek deal, I found it excellent. Really good value, with good quality food. Nicely spiced. The service was good and efficient. Would definitely try again when in Area.

We have not visited this restaurant for a while. It was very quiet when we arrived but soon got very busy. The food was excellent and the service was great. The price was also very competitive

I went for a meal in the Indian Ocean and for a change I chose the Thawa Chicken, this is strips of chicken, pepper, onions, garlic etc, served on a sizzling hot plate, with rice or Nan bread, it was absolutely delicious. It is rated with one chilli, which means it isn’t very hot, however you can taste all the spices and the food, it seems to get a little hotter as you eat it. The surroundings are very nice and the staff clean and accommodating. We chose the ‘’special” deal, this is popadom & side dish’s, a starter, any main course from the menu, ice cream & coffee. £13:95 (King prawns are extra) they also do a very nice Nan bread, it’s quite thin, and not as stodgy as it often the case. They have a full bar but, allow you to take your own wine. The Indian Ocean is a lovely restaurant, it is very clean and has wonderful food, I would recommend a visit.

Went as a party of 20 hence had the party menu at £13.95. Excelent food but not the best value for money at £13.95 per head. It included a nan bread and chips to share by 4 people. I would have much preferred the option of dhall or another nan bread instead of the chips. Very nice interior, but the staff a bit slow to serve the drinks on arrival. Would still go back.

This is definitely my favourite indian restaurant and I've been to a few. The food is always beautiful and well presented. The 5 course meal is amazing value. Its not a set menu but anything of the menu. Staff always very pleasant and never a wait for food. Cant recommend this place enough. See you soon

Dined here with a friend last week and the food was superb. We went midweek and there was a special offer on for for courses for £15 which was ideal. The food is not your usual Indian food they have some very unique exquisite dishes on the menu to choose from and the food was cooked to perfection. I will definitely return even though I live 30 minutes away.

Eat her twice this week, had the Tandoori sizzler twice. The staff in this place are first class. So friendly and pleasant and very attentive. the food is excellent and the menu is very varied.

Came here last week and walked away satisfied the food was of a high standard imo the service was excellent and the prices were cheap for £20 per person I got poppadoms followed by the Shami kebab starter then came the Bengal fish and to finish off with ice cream and coffee great value for the price I recommend this place, ample parking too I will come again

Wow had a cracking meal last night with my wife and two kids.

We were a group of 14 family and friends ranging from 4 to 70, one a wheelchair user. We parked three cars easily and received a warm welcome on entering the restaurant.

Been to this place on a lot of occasions got a booth. Very tasty and good service, did not choose the special deal just went off the main menu and the food was very tasty. Will definitely call in again

A large group of 18 friends went for a birthday meal, the food was very good and service was impeccable.

First class in most respects. Limited car parking in a shared area, Friendly welcome in a spacious entrance. Showed to...

Called to make an enquiry a couple of days ago in regards to a party booking. The little lad that...

Went for a family meal 18th August and the food was delicious, the service was great. A fabulousnight was had...

my wife and myself visited the indian ocean we fancied a curry so we went here we had the 12.95 menu very good popadoms , starter , main , sweet and coffees at the end 5 course . I had lamb chops starter , main chicken tikka Balti , ice cream and coffee my wife had the same. nice restaurant , nice service 9/10 will be going again .

Had a problem with my starter but in all honesty they did try to solve it .. even with the problem I still would recommend it as the food its good there.

We didnt book a table on a saturday night but managed to get a tableThe food was excellent the staff were very friendly and professional

I work in Oldham and often spend a number of nights away from home. As a result I have visited many restaurants and pubs in the area over a number of months and I consistently return here, often multiple times a week.The reason? It is quite simply the best Indian restaurant in the area that I have come across and possibly one of the best that I have ever been to.The restaurant is quite large with a number of booths as well as a private room and tables. It is well decorated and exceptionally clean and well cared for.Service is exceptionally friendly and professional, I am welcomed like a local now and I have found no reason to fault it, even turning up 5 mins before they finished serving.The food is superb and if you take advantage of their fixed price menu it is exceptionally good value. The range is extensive and the quality without question. Some of the best Indian food that I have tasted.What is there to fault? The only thing I could mention is that there is no dedicated parking and you have to park in the car park of the warehouse next door. When the food is of the quality that it is that really is no hardship!

A group of 7 ate here straight from a hard day at the office. Were going to go for the full menu but waiter offered us an full meal "deal" on everything bar a few items that had a surcharge, fair enough. The portions were full size and everyone enjoyed the food. We had various starters, mains, rice & breads and plenty of drinks. All in the bill was less that £130, a bargain I'd say and I'll be back.

Excellent restaurant and staff are great they cannot do enough for you, the food is excellent and the great thing is that they allow you to take you own wine which is a bonus. It also has an excellent atmosphere and great value for money. I certainly Highly recommend this restaurant.

Food was amazing and the service was spot on couldn't have wished for a better birthday mealWill definitely be returning again

Food was delicious and had a pleasant afternoon, the only criticism I can say is that the staff aren't very hospitable and there wasn't any interaction. They were also slow to clear the table as our mains arrived and our starters were still at our table even though a number of them had walked passed us on numerous occasions. The food made up for it but like I said the staff need to make more of an effort

I hadn't been to Indian Ocean for a while, but the food was so much better than I remember. Everything from the poppadom dips to the mains was spot on. The garlic naan was one of the best I've had - really well flavoured. Overall a great meal. One of the cheapest yet best quality Indian restaurants in Oldham.

I booked a table for 6 people online with no problems, the table was ready on arrival. The service was excellent and the food was some of best (if not the best) in town or the surrounding area. The restaurant and toilets are very clean and the staff smart and tidy. You can take your favourite wine with no corkage charge and, they have a good selection of beer. This is my favourite Indian restaurant and I would recommend a visit and would advise you book in advance, Saturday night is exceptional busy. 10/10.

I have been coming to this place for over 20 years and sometimes things change because it is bound to over 20 years but I love the food and the people who run the place, especially Mo and Sha. I can't recommend it more highly. Love the place.

Been to this place on a lot of occasions and it is a good place with good food. However, after the main course the service standards drop off dramatically. Long wait for dessert and followed by a further long wait for coffee and that put a spoiler on the night. I will go back purely due to family invitation but will not be in a rush to return of my own accord when I have the feeling I have been poorly treated.

Another great meal here. Always really nice food and good service. Cobra on draught. Chicken Tikka Lava was gorgeous. What more could you need, great prices too!

I have been here several times.Always enjoy it.Good value and service. Pleasant relaxed surroundings and I have taken my own wines. I would recommend that you book in advance during busy times as even then,the wait can be tedious but once at your table, I'm confident that you will enjoy what's on offer

My girlfriend and I have been coming here for well over a decade. One of the first Indian restaurants in the Oldham area to offer a 'set price' menu.Always great value for money and above all a range of delicious dishes to choose from. Being a vegetarian presents no problem as they are always more than happy to make a dish to suit you.I guess their success has come at a price as it's now hugely popular and can get extremely busy and noisy towards the start of the weekend. My advice would be to come mid-week when it's quieter, you won't be disappointed.

Food was very good tonight shame the waiters although very good at serving they are not so good at understanding requests.very reasonable prices and there is a deal for £12.95 where you get a popperdom and accompanying sauces and a starter of your choice and meal of your choice ice cream and a coffee toilets are adequate. Restaurants does have disabled ramps at the entrance. Very near parking facilities where there is a small car park. They said they had No wifi but later said they had but it was not working .They got a drink wrong twice and at the end over charged for an extra meal on the bill so always check your bill..if I was judging on the food only would be 5 stars tonight.. the food can vary a bit as it depends on who's cooking that night..as I have been many times it's been mostly good but still better than most places I've been.. but they are always very good if something is not right to put it right when requested too.

Wonderfully evening at Indian ocean had a table for 5 excellent service gud job lads I ate the ocean special felt like I was diving in the ocean will definately be back guys maybe with my diving gear

8 of us went for a meal at this restaurant on Thursday night , this was my first time having an Indian meal , I prefer Chinese. On entry a young waiter came straight to us to show us to our table he was so polite and courteous. We all had starters of pompadoms and dips which was so fresh and crisp, we all had different mains and I had Chicken Korma with rice and chips (share) , It was really delicous and creamy, the rice was so light and fluffy. All the staff were very attentive and eager to please you, the restaurant was very clean and beautifully decorated. On leaving you are offered a shot of Baileys and after dinner mints. We loved our visit to the Indian Ocean and can't wait to go again, I'm a convert.

I went here with my partner for our Christmas celebration. We had a wonderful time . The staff are so friendly and very attentive. Nothing is too much trouble. The food is fantastic and the prices are so reasonable. It's even a bring your own wine, which is unusual for a restaurant. Ice buckets are even provided on request. They have recently had a make over and the new decor is just so posh.

ordered takeaway but too much ghee so ruined the taste. also poppadums were crushed and full of bits - not in hurry to reorder or revisit!!

We have been to other restaurants but we always come back to the INDIAN OCEAN, the food is lovely, the service great and the price you can't beat for what you get.We always go as a table of 4 and never been let down as they are always busy, they also cater for large groups which the food and choice you get is unbelievable.

We tried this place on recommendation from a friend and we were not disapponited at all, they do a 5 course meal offer which is brilliant, the food and service is very good. we have been going to this restaurant for the last 6 months and i cant fault the place at all.All i can say is try the place and you wont be disappointed for anyone who has not been.

very disappointing portions small, and food could of been alot hotter as after 10 minutes everything was cold to finish off because of this we asked to take curry which was left home with us once home decided to reheat the meal and realised they had taken some of the chicken out of the curry there was definitley 5 or 6 pieces but when opened there was only 3 im certain of this as id left some aswell as my wife, would not reccomend to anyone

Been here a few times always with a group and we they offer a good deal of popadoms, starter, main with rice or nan, ice cream and coffee for £12.95. Other additional items can be chosen and paid for separately. All staff are efficient and helpful. We always get a separate room or occasionally shared with another party but still a good atmosphere, need to book if you have a group or you will have a long wait.

A group of us attended here, when your group is large, you get to order of a pre-defined menu for £12.93, you get poppadoms and onions and chutney, then you can order a starter, then a main course from the actual menu, and you get pilau and naan with that choice, the naan is shared between 4 people, can't remember if you get the choice of a pudding, as we had a birthday cake that we took. It has a bar but you can also take your own. The food was really nice, and extremely tasty, the staff were attentive and pleasant. We had an area to ourselves where we didn't disturb others, which I think is considerate to the other diners.People who wanted other items could order them, they just paid the extra at the end.

Good place to eat and friendly staff. Serve alcohol but this does mess with your taste buds so wasn't that bothered.Would recommend for a nice evening

Visited this place yesterday with 3 friends for Eid dinner. Didn't know what to expect, however was really glad we picked this place as the food was very authentic Indian/Bangladeshi.The starters were brilliant and not covered in oil like wise the main was the same.Really enjoyed the meal and will definitely return again, highly recommended.

Tuesday match after a Saturday victory in Barnet.Not expecting much from the footy (5-4 victory was a welcome end to the evening) & food whilst well cooked, flavoured & served promptly, was not exactly to my taste.Always a bit unfair to criticise on the basis of an expectation of meal spiciness which was misfounded - a little too tame (stuffed cheese peppers) for my taste buds - but there you have it. Food was good enough to go back again but would turn up the heat - for medium read mild - next time.

Nice restaurant and really good for take away as well. Fast service and a huge range to choose from.

I visited Indian Ocean midweek after work with colleagues and had no problem getting a table. We took advantage of the set menu - starter, main, dessert, coffee as recommended by a colleague who has visited the restaurant several times already.The food was delivered to our table within minutes of ordering and wasnt hot in temperature. The food tasted yummy and the portions are a decent size.Within minutes of me finishing my main course I immediately had diahroea 3 times. I chose to go into the disabled toilet for some privacy only to have the door opened on me by one of the waiters.He did apologise however it was a humiliating experience that I wouldnt want to repeat.Do not park in the Aldi car park next door as you will get a parking ticket if you stay more than 2 hours.

Absolutely horrendous! We were taken to our table but once we had sat down the waiters seemed to be doing nothing & uninterested in serving us. We had to call the waiter over to our table to take our drinks which took another five minutes to arrive, after that we had a look through the menu & decided what we were going to eat; after we knew what we were ordering we had to wait ten minutes and no one was coming to the table so we had to call a waiter over to come take our order. After the waiter had taken we were supposed to be given popadoms however we had to wait 10 minutes before it actually arrived. After eating popadoms we had to wait for our starters for 20 minutes & when we asked the waiter were was our starters he said its on his way but it took much more longer. They didn't bother clearing our table for the starters or main course, waiters walked by and seen the table & just didn't bother with it. We tried putting in a complaint but the manager was not accepting it. We were denied alcoholic beverages due to our race, overall I will never recommend this place to go eat!!! Absolutely ridiculous!
