Royal Piri Piri in Oldham

Half decent food, for peri peri chicken that is supposed to be hot (spicy) it's not, its barley even mild. The coleslaw was nice, chips are decent and chicken is soft. The lamb chops seem to be marinated In the same sauce as chicken so not as good. But yeah 50/50 may go again

One my favourite places to eat, chicken with the source is much better than nando's . highly recommend

This place does nice food HOWEVER, the place is is really dirty hygiene wise it’s really not the best actually it’s one of the worst I’ve seen. The tables and seats and floor is always dirty. Especially the seats they’re disgusting and not comfortable when eating. They really need to change these seating get new chairs and tables. The chairs are all sunken so when you sit on them you literally sink into the seat and it makes it difficult to eat. I always have to look for a clean chair and they’re literally all disgusting, please change them!

place is always filthy, filthy menus and seats, got my clothes dirty because of it. They really need to fix up.

Food took long to arrive, was expecting it to be fresh but it wasn't, very disappointed!!

Where do I start ?? The filth in this place is like a rat hole. I left all my food when really I should of just walked out as soon as I walked in.. youngsters running the place ie just talking your money and not cleaning up. The food was a Zero , full of ginger spice, chicken steak was not a steak, more like shredded chicken. I’m annoyed such places like this still exist . Should be closed down and deemed unfit to serve the public. End of my rant.

Really nice chicken place with really nice steak souce hmm

visited after some time. Price has doubled and chicken gone half a size.

Lovely food and very unique peri sauce

Good food and atmosphere. One negative is that they don't have a card machine. Only payment option is cash.

Good steak sauce and bread rolls

Lovely family restaurant. Nice food and good sized portions. There's parking which is free in the big carpark near clip and climb, on weekends after 6pm or 8pm, just behind the restaurant and it's a short walk down.

Very dirty place Very disappointed food was horrible never go again

Food is always spot on, cooked fresh, even though they may need some new tables it doesn't put you off.

This place is filthy, the floor is dirty you walk and step on food when you sit, the tables are nasty you always have to ask to clean them. The seats always have food and sauce on them. It’s just nasty man. Imagine how the kitchen is kept if the eating area is this bad. Foods standard. The other places in Oldham are really bad that’s why is makes this place look good.

Consistency is key in the restaurant industry, and it's disappointing when substitutions don't meet expectations. It sounds like this restaurant could improve their communication and perhaps offer more diverse alternatives when items are unavailable. During my visit this evening, an essential ingredient (item) was missing again, this has happened many times,having travelled from yorkshire its disappointing to know that the menu did not meet my satisfaction. It's imperative for restaurants to ensure customer satisfaction are met, especially during repeated visits,also paying full despite one less item is completely unacceptable.

Food was good and waiter was friendly. Where it went downhill is had a big Gujarati family of 10 rockup for food and they were staring at us like we were pair off exotic animals in a zoo having a meal. Also the noise level went up few decibels. That made the whole experience very uncomfortable, as they were not seating down just loitering in and round the table next to us and one table behind us, while constantly looking at our plates to see how much food we had leftover to eat. I think they wanted to seat together and wanted to us gone so they could join the tables and have their family feast. One would expect the waiter to step in at that point and tell them to be seated and not to bother other guests who are already seated and trying to enjoy their food but that did not happen. I guess the Knowledge and etiquette of dining out is something that not everyone is blessed with. place needs a good clean, chairs had breadcrumbs all over, table had edges trimming missing. All in all good food bad experience will not be coming back here again.

Very tasty food, Waiter called danny was very respectful. Would defo come back here

Even after going for almost 20yrs the food is brilliant. Highly recommend the Jumbo Mix platter with buttered bread rolls.wesome food as always

Cheap as chips and okay food definitely not comparable to nandos. It's a lot cheaper than other places though. The chicken is a bit drier as it is skinless. I wouldn't mind having it again but I wouldn't choose it over other options in the area.

The food is nice 😋 spicy and juice

Food at Royal Piri has always been the standard for Piri in Oldham The lamb chops and chicken are excellent when you get them fresh. The place has had some really good refurbishment, especially from how the old venue looked like an old tired pub. However the service is shocking, no communication from the back to staff. We had iftar here took 25mins after iftar for the food to come, even though we pre ordered. The waiter came with no care or bother and just gave some mumbled responses... Not sure how I would describe it, the food was good but service is everything.

The lamb chops in sauce was shockingly bad. They tasted as though they had been boiled and then doused in tomato ketchup. The texture was extremely tough and chewey. Without a doubt, the worst lamb chops I've ever had in my life.

Never fails Amazing food Amazing service Highly recommended

Excellent food. The steak sauce is excellent

Visited today with a few friends as a guest, the place was ehy… If I wasn’t invited I wou have eaten there! Hygiene rated -1 Food was below average, had the prawn plater, rice not nice, uncooked prawns soaked in sauce (not edible) best thing were the chips & warm bread rolls with sauce No Customers service, collect your own drinks, Coll your own napkins! Young staff swearing amongst them selfs behind the counter, where they should be on the floor serving customers. Won’t be going back if I’m ever in oldham

Aftr watching a review thought I'd try this place out and I'm sorry to say ppl what a disappointment the peri sauce is just full of lemon rice seemed old chiken was ok nothing special much better places in oldham for a Frango

Top top quality food. Always consitently good.

I've been to Royal Peri Peri a number of occasions. They food is always nice, service is sometimes a bit slow, and sometimes you have to go to the counter to place your order. The starters they always tend to bring out with the main which makes it hard to eat your main as your stuffed from eating the starter. The one they had in Preston I would say was better, sadly they closed down quite a while ago now and I only tend to come to this one when I'm in Oldham. The chicken sizzler with warm bread rolls is the best 👌🏼

Good food, steak was ok. Not quite as soft but really nice flavours

Literally the best food money can buy. Never let down. 11/10

If you go here just stick to the bread rolls and steak sauce

Lovely food as usual keep up the good work best piri sauce and and bread rolls you will ever have must try

We had very bad experience first the food wasn't even edible we had to leave the food and go to another place pluse the service was horrible we had to drinks ourselves there wasn't any napkins to clean up

Delicious food clean place. There's a very large carpark just at the back which is free

Came here for the very first time with some friends and their kids ( they ahd visited before). Service wa prompt and the food was tasty. I definitely recommend the chicken steak Platter. Also, the bread rolls are a MUST HAVE!!! I will definitely be coming here again.

Great food as always….. especially the full or half peri chicken. Oh a must have is the bread roles with the spicy tangy sauce.

Spectacular food and lovely service

Wouldn't go here again. Chicken wasn't fresh and was dry.

Everytime I go its been spot 🙌🏽

Second time dining at this wonderful place. Top service and top grub! Went for the whole chicken frango, absolutely delicious and filling (I couldn’t finish the last leg off 🤣)

Pro staff amazing foods Many thanks from managers.Good lock

Chicken steak is decent, the sauce can be a bit too much.

Absolutely loved the grilled chicken. It's not dry like many others are. It is very juicy and tasty. Will definitely return soon! PS They provide an ample amount of chips!

Absolutely 10/10. Regular customer here and never let down. Would highly recommend.

Excellent service as always good staff and managed well

Great peri peri chicken, large portion

Came out with friends, food was average nothing to rave about, busy staff very nice

Great Food. Been a regular visitor for last 8 years. Kind of addicted to it. Not ur typical.peri peri chicken.

Probably the best Portuguese styled halal chicken up in the north.

The full frango with chips and rice is an amazing deal.

What I got: chicken steak with fries and rice. Pros: Chicken steak is juicy. Portion size is okay. The sauce is tangy. The bread roll with butter is acceptable too. Cons: the chips are disappointing - thin, not crispy, and clearly from frozen. The rice was mushy and not flavorful - you have to dump sauce on it. It’s not really a classic chicken steak as it is cut up into little pieces, which shows the chef looks inside to make sure the chicken is cooked (which it was - no complaints on that). The price point - I don’t think it’s worth the £15.

Nice food. Cooked well. We haven't dine in. I 1have seen families plus couples dine inside and eat.

Absolutely disgusting and drowned in so much spice and chillies just to hide how bad the food is, rubbish staff can’t even under stand when you tell them make sure it’s mild!!!!

Food was lovely, service was great. Lots of families, great portions, got the frango as i used to get at Preston. Came quickly n saucy and full of flavour. They dont take card which is a downside but they were super friendly and helpful. Defo coming back.

As always amazing food. My family and i love this spot. Friendly staff and bread rolls to die for

very good service all the time. food is always on point no issues

Love the food. Big portions a bit pricey but 2 can share a platter

At one time, their peri chicken was the best... Unfortunately, not anymore

Best lamb chops. The sauce is just the best with the breadrolls. I shall defo be returning again. The frango meal is one of the best meals iv had.

Great place, went for a quarter chicken, rice and chips, couple of baguettes and some sauce. Was lovely

Absolutely vile. Portions were stingy. Steak cut in strips and drenched in a strange thick sauce. Beef sizzler had a single little slice of pepper when menu mentions plural peppers and chicken was not flavoursome. Just poor service and many items not available.

Magnificent place and friendly staff. Food is amazing always. One of my favourite places to eat

One of the best restaurants in Oldham

Great value for money, fast service. Cash only but cash machines nearby

Average food at best Plenty of seating so good for large groups

Very poor food and very poor service. Ripoff of frangos down the road. This place has total laziness in cooking and runs out of food on a busy night. Nothing offered for inconvenience and the portions were also very small for the food the actually had in stock.

I thought i would try something different but Not really what I was expecting maybe other people like the food but I was expecting something similar to nandos with an Asian twist instead had chicken with an overdose of sauce on it. I think the menu needs some thought into it and maybe add some salad options in. I was really looking forward to the food but left very disappointed. Hopefully they can make an improvement

Food was nice, good service but I think they should also give tap water

Decent food , shame the cost of living has decreased the size of portions

Good food and excellent service

Very original and gives Nando’s a run for their money! The house sauce is very addictive (not too hot) and compliments the food. Staff have recommended the steak which I will be definitely trying on my next visit!

The original and best. Been going here for many years and it never gets boring. Forget about ambience and decor - it's all about the top rated food!! Some heating in winter would elevate the experience further though.

It has being a favorite for so many years. The Frango is always well spiced and good decent size chicken. Service is always very polite and since the change of location, has improved even further with the decoration and overall ambience. This is a central part of Oldham. In my opinion the price and quantity is better than other chicken type places.

What can I say......absolutely disappointed with my experience. Food wasn't brilliant. I'm no expert in Portuguese food but I'm sure piri piri chicken is not supposed to be swimming in sauce. The sauce was just too much. The rice was burnt. The only good thing that came with the jumbo piri piri platter were the chips, which you can't really get wrong. Also ordered the chicken wings which were edible. Do not recommend going there to anyone. The service was poor. Had to remind the young waiters what we had asked for as they kept forgetting.

Good place if you like the food saucy & one more thing i would reccomend the owners to refurb the furniture

Used to be the top spot for me in Oldham but the steak sauce has changed and leaves a bit of an after taste .. better piri spots to eat at in Oldham at the moment

Personally i love it, but the sauce is either love or hate. Bread rolls are delicious

Best piri piri in town better than nandos, nandos is just a name

Amazing amazing food Amazing people

We attended Royal Piri Piri on the 01/08/21 around 6pm and was greeted fairly well and got a table for 2 the place was currently half full when we arrived. When I was ordering my and Mrs food I was told that the Chicken Pasta would take around 40mins (I did go to the waiter twice to make the decision) to make which a bit too long for my wait time especially as we came from Bury. Also, when ordering the food the waiter don't come to the table you have to go to the front desk area to order (even though they have loads of staff in the front) So, Instead I ordered the Chicken Steak with 2 x Bread Rolls 1 x Piri Steak Sauce my Mrs got Half Chicken with Chips and Rice (I orded Chicken Pasta to take out) we probably placed the ordered around 6:10pm and got told it would take 20mins-25mins to get our food my Mrs food came first 6:40pm my food came around 6:50 10 mins doesn't sound a lot but food can get cold really quick. (they should of put my Mrs food in the warmer and gave it with mine - my personal opinion). My Mrs wouldn't eat her food as she was waiting for me and wanted to eat together he food had gone slight cold (due to the front door being open) My food was fresh and decent the waiter who originally took my order was apologetic the delay (I did appreciate him saying this but he should of come to us earlier also) I was happy with my food but my Mrs wasn't too happy with her (guessing it was cold and she was unhappy with the delay in food) also she stated the rice were bland (but I was unable to see and spicy sauce I could put on the rice) They only have one toilet so if it's really busy you can be waiting a while to use the toilet. Despite the experience we had, it became really busy as we were eating and they had to turn people away so I guess this place must be popular with the locals. My Mrs also noted that people attended after us and they got they food before us I did however suggest they could of booked the table earlier and placed the order over the phone. My Mrs jokingly suggest glad we didn't ask for the Chicken Pasta we would of been waiting for 1 hour 20 mins (I guess she was doubling the time they waiter stated) When I paid for the food I didn't mention I was unhappy with the delay in food (typical of me to be nice). The size of the restaurant (guessing due to it being in the centre of town) also quite small and tables are put close together. - 1 Star for delay in food - 1 star for bring my Mrs food out then waiting around 10mins for mine

Good food ,good service, and especially good price , ask the chef to have the platter well warm hot and saucey then enjoy that piri piri

Steake and cheken so delicious 😋

Absolutely banging. Food and staff on point.

Left feeling hugely disappointed with the food.Just the overall atmosphere wasn't to my taste.

Was yumm js tomato was overpowering

Banging food with beautiful calligraphy posted across walls and very hospitable staff. Prices are bang on too

Best place ever. If you've never been I'd highly recommend this absolute diamond of a place. Best peri peri chicken and the beef steak platter is to die for.

Food was 7 out of ten. Customer service 0.

Amazing. Worth the trip from Preston!

BANGING food, the service was 10/10 . I Definitely recommend to bring you’re family and friends to this spot

Very disappointed. We visited this place yesterday and had to wait nearly 45 mins to he seated. The restaurant was absolutely freezing. There was no heating on and eventually we were made to sit near the door and windows which were very drafty. When the food came it went cold within 5 mins because it was freezing inside. When we were making the food order half of the menu items were not available, the sizzlers. Paella and pasta dishes were apparently all sold out! The food was a let down too. Taste has changed from before, not like it used to be and no complimentary salad or coleslaw was given as they used to with meals. A big let down, will not be coming back.

Outstanding.. Much improved Taste better Nice location Good service PLEASE PROVIDE PRAYING PLACE.. P.............P...............P...............P...........

Wot a very bad experience first off all got all kids working behind the counter on a Saturday night 😬 ,restaurant woz very cold 🥶 I came with my family my kids were freezing !! Yes all the costumer had there jackets on and also complaining , wot a complete JOKE food came and got cold with in 3/4 mins food woz ok nowt special, but seriously need to sort the heating out especially on a cold winters day in January!!!

Paella was not even paella, the food was just bland and overloaded with sauce. Even the chips were bad. I could not distinguish the chicken steak between the paella, we thought we got the wrong order. The frango was sweet. The food was packed poorly for takeaway, the sauces leaked in the bag. Overall disappointing, food was not authentically made as the dishes are supposed to be.

Those bread rolls in piri piri sauce were 👌🏻😋 We were starving when we got there and they served them in minutes. Service was great. Not sure why they call them "shady" 😬... I found the staff very genuine and friendly. Our meal was gate crashed by uninvited guests but the staff were happy to squeeze extra chairs and table in on a busy night. Rizwan was late but they were happy to wait for him too.

The food was really good and the service excellent. However, it was so cold! My hands and feet were turning to ice. No heating in the place at all! It was very busy ( as I said, the food was excellent) but people were sat eating with their coats on. So if you go, wrap up very warmly. The cold really spoilt it for me.

Easily the best peri peri restaurant in Oldham.

Great service, great food! I'e ordered from here many times and never had any issues. Food is always warm and served timely. I I would definitely recommend

One of the most beautiful and strongest restaurant in Oldham and Manchester and I wish all the whole team and the kitchen team always smiling and welcoming all visitors inside the restaurant...more success always🔥👍💪
