Mum's Kitchen in Oldham

Met 3 friends here last weekend. Ordered separately - toasted sandwich and coffee. The coffees came out 1 at a time, over the space of 30 minutes. I went in to order 3 more whilst we waited for our food; it took 25 minutes to be served (2 people in front of me) so in the end I didn’t bother. Our food came after an hour… not in the order we had ordered them and not together. Other tables received their food well before us and they were ordered afterwards. Whilst queuing I watch the staff- sadly this is the problem- totally disorganised and food hygiene practice that made me feel sick. One girl was at the till, taking orders, making the drinks and cooking the toasties. One girl just stood by the bar waiting for instructions (no effort to clear tables or help), the kitchen staff were just dreadful. One young man in and out- he took bins out, then came in and touched the pile of sandwiches waiting to be toasted, looking what they were. He did not wash his hands, but wiped the butter he had on his hands down his sweatshirt. The girl at the front kept touching her pony tail, then the food (again no handwashing)… she was so overwhelmed that she cried. She wiped her nose and eyes on the dishcloth which then went back on the work top. I felt bad for her as it was too much for one person. She had a thermometer in the toasties, and used the same one for meat and vegetarian sandwiches, without cleaning it.It really was totally disorganised and had I seen these things before I had eaten, I would have cancelled my order. We all just felt nauseous, wondering what might have happened to our food. Being busy is no cause for this and I was horrified. Such a shame as this is a lovely cafe.

Used to come here all the time and as the other review sated it true the portion size has dramatically dropped and the food isn't the same anymore

Greasy and vile. Chicken pakoras were strips of chicken with tiny bits of batter mixed in instead of the chicken coated. Madras more of a Balti dish. Chips were soggy. Poppadoms were swimming in grease. Rice was nice. Bombay potato's looked like mash and didn't have much flavour. Naan bread was alright but not great. Had to wait 30 minutes for food to be ready. Really disappointed. Binned 90% of the food. Wasn't enjoyable at all.

Scammers called me from their number pretending to be three(the mobile company)

The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor.
