Indish in Oldham

Booked for a 50th birthday. First of all the staff are very nice for the most part. Saying that the food is 7/10. All very rushed. Asked for a break between starter and main. Probably got 5 mins max. It's not a proper restaurant as you imagine one. More like a McDonalds where you sit and order. Also broken walls outside so not the best first impression. Inside not the best. A bit scruffy. My mother in her 70s had to report a blocked toilet in the ladies. Nice. The price wasn't too bad ro be fair though. Although booked for birthday no mention but others got what seemed to be a sparkler on a samosa or something. £150 for six of us including starters. Came out and cars of Asian men playing music and stood round outside. Uncomfortable atmosphere. So yeah won't be back but If you want a decent Indian and you can eat quick and don't mind a hood chav atmosphere when you leave then your good. lRating 5/10.

Fantastic Food and Exceptional Service. Azad made our visit a truly memorable one for my son’s 8th Birthday. All the staff were very attentive and nothing was trouble. As a restaurant owner myself, I found The service here very friendly and professional. Thank you Azad,

Good food, fast service with a smile in a relaxed atmosphere.

Thought the food and service was fantastic. The best Indian meal iv had I a good while

The food was disappointing. I ordered lamb, but they served me chicken instead. The cheesecake was still frozen in the middle, yet they thought it was acceptable to serve. To top it off, the waiter could have passed the naan bread from the left of the table but instead stretched over my shoulder, dropping it onto my food. After such a bad experience, I felt completely ripped off when paying the bill. I definitely won’t be coming back.

Great service food was stunning.

Food was first rate, service was great . Menu was different to what I’m used to so it adds a bit of intrigue. Will definitely be revisiting

Food was crap tasteless very poor waiter was bad on service waiting one hour for food. Very disappointed customer and they was 9 of us

Food was all amazing! As was the service and the price. We booked a table for 10 and all our meals were on point. We will definitely visit again!

Although a nice restaurant and good staff the prices are extortionate. Nice food but fir Example £16.95 for Bolti Exotica. Absolute rip off. Other local restaurants charge £11.95. £4.35 for Pilau Rice is extortionate Would never recommend this place. No reason to be greedy.

The Chicken Tikka Masala is lovely from here. Food, Staff and Atmosphere is good

Straight to the point, the worst food I have ever been served in a restaurant. I'll never go return.

The food is the nicest Indian food. Waiters are friendly helpful and knowledgeable recommending really good dishes, special mention to Sadiq. We had a great time and will be back soon.

We came here tonight the food is the nicest Indian food in the area. Waiters are friendly helpful n knowledgeable recommending really good dishes, special mention to shah.

Always good food and the staff very helpful

This place is great, the food is spot on the service, excellent and a great atmosphere. We had a great time. I would highly recommend this place

Lovely food, great service, reasonable prices, what more do you need? Has this place been took over by the imperial? The food was v similar to the now shut imperial and after talking to a staff member about lack of entertainment it was reminiscent of the imperial...Michael Jackson impersonation and patelvis! Either way we will be back. Thanks for a spot on evening.

Really good food visiting Manchester for work, friendly much nicer than hotel we wete in.

Was down for an overnight stay in a nearby hotel for work the following day, had Lamb Tikka Dupiaza, outstanding. Unfortunately I live in Scotland or I would be going all the time

Called in after Costco for a midweek treat, well happy, lovely fresh food and friendly service.

Twice now had frozen food , indish just lost a family Customer I have been coming for years now and always enjoy the staff meals now renamed, I know it takes a long time to prepare my favourite dish ,but to be told its fresh when clearly been frozen leftover from the previous, even when asked told it was fresh ,texture of the food was clearly frozen. Sorry lost my fath in your quality of food. So chosen to vote with my feet and never come back.

Can't beat it. Food is amazing, service is perfect. Would recommend

I would have given 0 stars if possible this was absolutley terrible naan bread undercooked we booked in advance for 12 people and they didn't even have enough cheese for cheese naan and even my kid could cook better food don't recommend .

After a very busy seminar, we went Indish where I had booked for 15 people. When I turned up with 40, they quickly got us seated all together. It was an extremely busy Saturday night but they were so welcoming and the food was absolutely delicious. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. Ali organised everything but a big shout out to all you guys.

Staff were great and very friendly. Food was very good also.

Service was poor, starter was lovely main course poor.

Thanks to Ash ! Great customer service , and assisted my mum out the door with the wheelchair Thank you😊

After booking yesterday 4-3-24 for 6pm we were told we have to be out for 7.30pm which was fair enough as I understand they were busy After been seated they took our order and starters arrived and were lovely They one of our party ordered another drink and we had to remind them 3 times before it arrived We were the kept waiting till 7.15 before our food arrived which gave us 15 mins to eat it One of the waiters apologised and said they forgot it !!!!!!!!!!! Mine personally was lovely and so was my friends sizzler The other 3 meals were not good one lamb Kori one chicken tikka masala and 1 chicken Korma They were exactly the same taste and obviously rushed and heated in a rush (microwave) I then asked for tap water as I was driving again 3 times and it was only when a good waiter said this isn’t on and went and got it himself Then we split the bill 2 ways and mine was £80 and others £77 The Boss man then asked my friend for a tip FOR THE BOYS and reluctantly he agreed only to find out he had put £30 tip on the bill Which only on reflection we realised Disappointed in this as parts of the experience was good but parts not so good

Another lovely evening at Indish with my partner. Food was beautiful and the service was fantastic. Love the staff. We was served by Ash tonight who was a top guy, so friendly and helpful. Will always come back here :-)

Fantastic service by Ash Thoroughly enjoyed our evening and would recommend 10/10 😀

Food is lovely. All staff are very friendly in particular Ash who served us tonight!

Ordered chicken curry as takeaway. Chicken is like slop. What was supposed to be a spicy curry is like a strange sweet and sour. Straight in the bin, if I saw my dog eating this I would stop it.

We visited on valentines day and it was amazing and I mean everything from the young girl at rhe door to the waiters, the decorations, the live singer and the food was gorgeous . I would highly recommend chicken tikka nandi xx

We visited here on valentines night. All I can say is it was fabulous, from the live singer, the decorations, the free champagne and most of all the food (especially the chicken tikka Nandi). The staff are very attentive and friendly and so polite.

The food was lovely the service was excellent I highly recommend the Indish

Ash was are waiter top experience really enjoyed it highly recommend!!

Food is perfect.The waiters are first class who make you feel welcome.My daughters 16th birthday was made special so Thankyou to you all you are AMAZING X

Being an Indian myself, I recognise authentic Indian dishes. I was very disappointed with the bland, saltless food served at this restaurant. The chicken karahi was a mild tomato sauce with zero spice and salt, just boiled chicken breast chucked in the curry. The vegetarian biryani had no salt either and when I mentioned to the waiter he brought me table salt. Very poor quality. Won't be visiting again. Certainly don't recommend for South Asian people.

This place is so overrated. We’ve had many issues when ordering a takeout eg items not included & we had given up with going here but decided to give it one last go, so ordered a takeout.. yet again we were disappointed. Popadums smashed up & stale. Chicken handi poor & not representative of a proper handi. We won’t be returning.

Lovely food and amazing service, especially “Ash”, he was so polite and really made it a great experience! Definitely recommend.

Brilliant food and excellent service from Ash

I don't know if I arrived at the wrong time but in arriving the young girl at the desk seemed very dismissive when I came in and said I had a table booked. She just nodded her head and continued doing what she was doing. I sat myself down while I waited for my friend to arrive. She didn't come over once to ask us are we OK or take us to our seat. I had to do that myself. However, once in the actual restaurant the service was impeccable. Especially the waiter Ash. He was helpful., friendly and offered recommendations. I even tried some new dishes and loved them because his information. All in all a great meal

Fantastic food and service . Especially sidiq very professional and entertaining will definitely come again ..if only to see sidiq lol . Not forgetting Ash who recomended the chops which were excellent.

Amazing food and the best service. The environment in the restaurant was great and the whole family enjoyed the visit!!

Food was amazing... sadiq gave great service and made my daughter feel special, service was fast and friendly! Would defo recommend

Had a great meal thanks for squeezing us in

Had a lovely meal tonight catching up with long time friends. Ash was our waiter he was very pleasant helpful and a big smile. Thank-you Ash for all you did for us we will be back soon

In a party of 30ish half way through the meal we were approached to pay a set price of 30 pound ahead which wasn't acceptable 16 paid 30 pound 8 paid wat they ate dissatisfied

Just had my first meal here - great food and even better service from Ash especially!! Can’t wait to come back!!

This place is amazing. The staff couldn't do enough or be anymore helpful. The recommendations they gave for food was excellent can not fault the place. Made welcome from the start and left feeling stuffed. Awesome

Ordered a takeaway through Just Eat. Asked if we could have vegetables instead of meat in my daughter's favourite curry and it was no problem. Food was delivered in just over 30 minutes. Delicious as always!!

We had a family meal on NYE Rez looked after us from start to finish Very attentive when we were ordering We had drinks first then starters and mains all lovely and hot Nothing was to much for Rez Great meal and spot on service

Firstly I booked for 4 of us for a meal NYE. When we turned up I was told there was no booking so I shown the waiter my confirmation email in which his response was ‘well did you pay a deposit’ in which I stated when booking they don’t ask for one. He then said well everyone else here has paid one. Told the waiter yet again that’s not my problem I was never asked for one on the website in which again his abrupt response was ‘well the website doesn’t work’ despite the fact I had a confirmation. He then told us we would have to wait 45 mins which we had to as already paid our taxi there. Side note Uber eat drivers take priority over people dining inn. After finally sitting down, service was slow. Understandable busy night however this should be managed more effectively then with more staff to facilitate the amount of people. When we finally get served we were told it was a £54.95 set menu. Again this was never explained at time of booking. The entertainment was good DJ, fire breather and belly dancer, however music was too loud to the point you literally couldn’t have a conversation and the place stunk of petrol the fire breather. Food was tasty can’t fault that. When it came to the bill luckily we were sober enough to realise they also tried adding extra drinks on there that we didn’t have. Also like to point out the menu states glass of champagne on arrival that never happened either. We also witnessed a older staff member talking to a younger waiter in an unpleasant manner after he accidentally dropped a glass due to the chaotic environment in which he said ‘hurry up and pick it up then’. I certainly wouldn’t want me children working there that’s for sure. Overall won’t be returning.

Booked for a large party on Christmas day as I've never heard a bad word about Indish. What a disaster - The music was so loud that I could only describe it as being front row at Glastonbury. Indian starters almost thrown at us with a long wait for English starters, followed by a 2 hour wait for mains. When we asked about the delay we were told that its because 'everybody turned up at once' - which quite frankly you expect when that's the time given to arrive. It seemed like Just Eat and uber eat deliveries were main priorities to get out of the door. We can't comment on desserts because after being there for almost 3 hours for cold mediocre food, everybody was fed up and eager to leave. Everybody else in the restaurant also seemed to be frustrated and complaining about the noise and the wait times. The pumpkin napkins and one cracker on the table were a really nice festive touch 👌 All in all, a huge disappointment which really ruined Christmas day as a family and a whole lot of money wasted to all go home hungry

This is only the second time I have been.the first time was awfull .the family came chrismas day £50 two union barges and a cold main course Service awful .dont expect to get a plate given me .will never go again. To noisy and bad service

The welcome you are given when you arrive at Indish is lovely. Lots of attentive knowledgeable staff including their waiters. I had a lamb madras which was really, really good. I live down south but was up to visit family. A must when you visit these parts. I would definitely recommend Indish!

We had a booking for Boxing Day which was pre booked. On arrival we were greeted by the door with a polite greeting and shown the bar area. We were seated within a few minutes. The restaurant quickly began to fill by 4.30pm. There was no delay in service in fact a little fast. As we had only been seated a few minutes. The atmosphere was wonderful. The food was superb. The service was extremely stretched after the mayhem with the chef. Yes we waited an extremely long time for our main meal but the atmosphere was that good the time passed very quick. We finally received our orders and the food was of high standards and no complaints from me, or our party. I will go as far as to say the professional way the staff conducted themselves when under such immense pressure was noted. My criticism of indish…. The ladies toilets need a regular cleaner to inspect them they was not the cleanest of toilets in a restaurant. And the female staff were extremely quiet and reserved. Best 2 persons I would name would be the female bar tender on shift tonight she was very bright and bubbly with a very good memory for the orders she takes. And also to the management for averting a crisis on such a busy night of the year. Well done ….And I will be back again.

Great experience staff really friendly and helpful recommend because I can’t eat thing 🌶️ good value for money to less than £60.00 for 2 of us including a couple of drinks

Booked for christmas day about five weeks before Paid the deposit About a week before christmas day started getting text messages Ask me what we all wanted to order Which was a nightmare I said one christmas dinner for the child and seven indian dinners No Wanted to know exactly what we wanted Start and main & side Which was a nightmare and I couldn't believe it But I got there in the end My reservation was five o'clock of Christmas day Got there and it was absolutely hammered Sat down waiting for a table for about thirty minutes I will say the bar staff was excellent Then we got moved to a table One hour later the Starter his turned up was all OK Then an hour later The main courses Two of them was cold We got the wrong sides The right ones came over after eating the food No Organisation and and very Greed owners Taking too many bookings for christmas day All in all christmas day dinner at this place was hell on earth

Great service from all the staff here, really friendly specially ash who looked after us was fantastic and made the experience so much better. Food was great as always

lovely place, staff are polite and fast, was a bit cold and quiet when i went on a weekday evening, probably more atmosphere on a weekend. Food was nice, not the best not the worst but was hot and there is a large selection

Great food, fantastic service by staff. Ash was great, very friendly and always had a smile on his face. Good atmosphere on a Saturday evening, would highly recommend.

The food was absolutely amazing. Our server Ash was so lovely, always checked on us and just an overall great waiter. We will definitely come again and again!

I have just had my first meal here. The dish I ordered was a little spicier than I'm used to so asking the advice of the staff is recommended. The staff were so helpful and friendly and nothing was too much trouble The restaurant is clean with a fresh modern decor. I would certainly recommend this restaurant to my friends.

Very good high quality food. Definitely going back.

I recently visited Indish, a restaurant located just outside the Manchester area, and my experience was certainly a unique one. Despite being an Indian restaurant, Indish presented a culinary journey with a subtle twist that deviated from the usual robust and bold flavors associated with traditional Indian dishes. The menu boasted a variety of dishes, and our choices reflected our anticipation for a true authentic Indian dining experience. However, some of the dishes seemed to hold back on the characteristic explosion of flavors that one might expect. It appeared as though the spices were toned down, creating a dining experience that deviated from the norm. Despite the subdued flavors, the overall ambiance of the restaurant was outstanding. The staff were not only attentive but also superb in guiding us through the menu and ensuring our needs were met. Their dedication added to the overall positive experience. The venue itself had an upmarket feel, with tasteful decor that enhanced the dining atmosphere. As someone who appreciates the vibrant and spicy nature of Indian cuisine, I couldn't help but feel that the flavors could be amplified. Given that I hail from the capital of Indian food in the North West of London, I may consider requesting the chef to elevate the spice levels a few notches during my next visit. It's an excellent establishment with potential for an even more authentic and robust Indian culinary experience. In conclusion, Indish offers a unique take on Indian cuisine, emphasising a more subdued flavor profile. The excellent service and upscale ambiance make it a notable dining destination. However, for those seeking a bolder and more authentic Indian taste, a polite request to the chef for an extra kick of spices might be in order.

Been here for my daughters 16th & Sat 9th Dec for my wrks Christmas doo. Xx Enjoyed both occasions..... food was amazing, value for money too & service was exceptional. I had the pleasure of having Ash the waiter twice who looked after the groups & made us all happy 😊. Cheers Indish..... sorry for the bad dance moves from me 🤣🙈 x

My guy at the door best service I’ve personally ever experienced, delicious food, especially the onion Bhaji’s, fantastic, 11/10

Welcoming and friendly staff, decent looking place, not much parking but there are places to park nearby. I tried the chicken madras which was nice and spicy, portion of pilau rice was very small though, nice pudding and drinks. I would go again.

Visited Indish for the first time must admit was really impressed. Sat next to the water fall with my boyfriend and enjoyed a lovely meal. The food was great and the service was better. Thank you Ash/Ashley xx will definitely be returning!

Love this place. Staff are always friendly and helpful when you are unsure what to choose. Food is freshly cooked and delicious. Would definately recommend for couples, families of celebrations.

It's a lovely looking place and the decor is very well presented. I found the staff to be a little aloof at first. I'm not sure if I just came at a bad time or my accent was off putting but I didn't feel 100% welcomed at first but this changed after a short time, for reasons I don't fully understand. The food was very nice indeed and the on tap draught beers were clearly well looked after and fresh. All in all a positive experience with just a few minor issues that would doubtless bother someone without an anxious personality much less than myself.

I am new to the area so I wanted to try this restaurant as it looked good. The food is tasty but nothing special and the staff is friendly but portions are too small for the price and the area, I will not come back as I feel it is very overpriced compared with what you get in other similar restaurants.

I have previously had a wonderful meal at this restaurant. Just been back this evening to enjoy the same Rohan Josh curry again. Sadly they forgot to add the spices and gave me tomatoes and chilli. Everything a curry is not. Indian curry has such...
