Shimlas Oldham in Oldham

Lamb Karachi with garlic Nan 10/10

As a former employee at Shimlas, it’s important to share my experience during my time there. The restaurant management was unprofessional and their treatment of staff was also poor. The waiter that trained me was rude and arrogant towards the customers and staff on many occasions. The restaurant’s claimed values are not upheld. They advertise themselves as boycotting products, such as 7Up, but still use them in mocktails and just disguise them in clear glasses. When a customer recognized the 7Up in their drink and asked for it, I poured it into a glass, only to be scolded by both the manager and waiter. This hypocrisy is disappointing and misleading to customers.

First visit last night for husbands bday Food was very nice Ordered mix grill Fish Karhai chicken Daal Naans Matka kheer Choc sponge Was plenty for 3 people Only downfall didnt realise we were sat right next to toilet which put me off (thats just me though) No sign on toilet door otherwise i like to sit away from it. Otherwise food was spot on And the young lady who served us could have smiled abit more. Looked like she didnt want to be there.

Well my first visit here was impressive. Such good quality food and the rotis so soft and fluffy made all the difference. Great service and cosy seating sections. Loved the evening out and loved the food. Priced very reasonably so all in all a great place to dine at.

Good service and friendly staff.

It was my first time here unfortunately I won't be back. The starters were ok but the mains weren't cooked well, plain, greasy all in all not enjoyable. The desserts and drinks wernt good either

VERY ❣️ NICE Food ❣️ 👌 👍 LOVE ❣️ IT keep 👌 😋 👍 Five Star 🌟 🤩 SERVICE ❣️

I loved the service a lot and thought the people were very friendly and helpful and Reall respectful!

Highly recommended Food always fresh and management team Mr Kashif very good and friendly thanks everyone

Ordered take away. One poppadom short. Chicken karahi looked like the chicken was cut off a kebab skewer. Not even chicken breast was used. Thanks for making my Friday night

Great food, service & atmosphere. Bilal & Aseeba are absolutely lovely & friendly!

Fantastic food and really pleasant staff. You deserve all the success which undoubtedly will come your way. Thank you.

This place is a must go. The food is brilliant and the service is first class. With friendly staff. This place provides everything u need for a perfect meal. Prices are great aswell

The food was delicious and the service was really great.The presentation was amazing and the food was a delight.The menu has a fantastic selection of dishes, and we loved everything we tried. I want Specially thanks to "Muhammad Bilal" for making our dinner experience very unforgettable.

Amazaing service and great taste and amazing service by Muhammad Bilal.

Muhammad Bilal gave very good service

Taste 10/10 Service 10/10 Environment 10/10 Want to say something for best ever waiter Muhammad Bilal he is very happy person, Dealing skills are good & guide properly before the food order

Unfortunately having to resubmit a review and only putting 1 star so everyone can be made aware of this. I went to Shimlas takeaway after work on a Sunday night around 00:45 The food was great, I parked on the CUSTOMER car park This week I received a £100 fine through the post for parking on SHIMLAS CUSTOMER car park (£60 if paid within 14 days) I was there for 19mins and there was no obvious signage or telling of pay and display. The parking company reject any appeal and ignore all means of contact! The food was great and I really enjoyed it however I need all to be aware of the parking situation. THE MOST EXPENSIVE TAKEAWAY IVE HAD

Went with some friends last night (first time for me) and being the only vegetarian I was a little apprehensive because there were only curries available. However, when I spoke with the lady who took my order and I explained the concept for a paneer tikka kebab dish, she bought the chef over and he listened attentively. Although nervous, he was happy to give it a go and I must say I was blown away (forgot to take pics)! Another thing which sets them apart is that nothing was too much trouble; they were patient, professional and truly care about the food they serve & customer service. Note to chef: maybe you can add it onto your menu because I’ll be back very soon with my family 😊 Thank you once again. Bhav

Lovely food at a very reasonable price. Defo value for money

Brilliant food and staff very helpful brilliant atmosphere will defo come again.

Very delicious food and services received from Bilal is very good and polite.

Excellent service and great food staff was very helpful

Brilliant as always been here for a very long time. Bilal the newbie is an excellent addition to the Shimlas family.

Nice food always my choice and good staff

Brought out our boxing boys here from Nxt Gen ABC Oldham and we loved it as usual! Great food great service.

It was great experience ... Food was fabulous .... And service was great ... Mr uzair and Mr bilal treated Soo good .... Mr uzair gave all informations in such polite way .. Mr bilal served Soo good ... So everything was the best and specially meat was fresh and food was v tasty ..

Came here with my wife and it was a lovely experience, what really made it for us was the waiter Bilal, he was very attentive and his recommendation of the special lamb handi which was amazing! Top quality food!

Amazing service from Sana tonight. Very polite and attentive. Bought our food out immediately as we were in a rush.

Visited this evening and the service was excellent- friendly and efficient.

The chicken donner from here has to be the best I've ever had, can't fault the food or the service, excellent each and every time. I would also go for the meat chops masala as that is also delicious.

Was served by sana food was absolutely amazing service was outstanding overall good experience

Their food (halal) is really nice and they have a lovely milk cake I can hardly resist. The only downside is they need to use other delivery as Uber Eat is so annoying.

I really enjoyed our night out with the lads here. It's nice for families too. Delicious food, good atmosphere and friendly staff. The owner, Kashif, seems like a great guy. I would definitely recommend this place 👌🏼

Excellent food and service. Highly recommend

Wonderful service and food. Our family ordered various dishes and came in good time.

Was served by Aseeba, her recommendations were spot on . Both items she recommended tasted delicious. Her service was very prompt and we were well looked after. The fish pakora and the masala fish were very tasty with a lightly spiced batter and the fish was flaky ( you don't always get that). Meat pakora was a pleasant and delicious surprise. Portions were generous. Would highly recommend, will be surely visiting again with the family. Visited again today (08/11/2024). Food still holding up. Served by Sanah, top service , keep it up.

Me and a client came here and the place we a very clean. The service was very good and the foodnwas top notch.

I like the seekh kebabs The kids order other stuff

Excellent service, lovely resteraunt, clean and very tasty food. Tried the mixed grill, burger and biryani all delicious - and all well priced, would highly recommend anyone to come here for a lovely resteraunt meal!

We ordered mutton handi and the meat was hard and raw. We sent it back and the chef said that this is the way we cook the food. I would not recommend shimla especially anyone trying mutton handi of this place.

Amazing experience at Shimlas Oldham! The food was delicious and beautifully presented — we loved the “Chicken Dynamites and Chicken Donner. Aseeba was very friendly, professional and attentive, making us feel truly welcome. The ambiance was perfect. Highly recommend for a memorable meal. We’ll definitely be back!

Decent food. That creamy Naga donner (not too spicy tbh) with a fresh nan went down very well.

Excellent service and Excellent food

Thanks to sana for packing this order the food was amazing. Will order again !

Sana was very helpfull and good at her job enjoy coming to this place because of staff like her👍

The food was amazing atmosphere is great and staff are lovely

The service was great thanks to Sana as she helped with such a big order . The food was amazing , it’s different and tasty.

I had a disappointing experience at Shimlas. The food was horrible—served cold and lacked quality. The service was dreadful; the staff seemed uninterested in listening to our concerns and, instead of addressing the issues, made excuses. Overall, it was an unpleasant visit, and I wouldn’t recommend it based on my experience.thank you

Nice and quiet spot for a good munch :)

Don’t go if you can’t tolerate spicy food :/

This place is becoming a joke the chicken tikka is always raw the chips seems like they have been cooked in the morning and served in the evening expensive and horrible portion size not enough for the amount of money it’s worth the one in Bradford is way better will not be ordering again 🙃

Food was spot on asked to turn music off and put a nasheed on they did it straight away no questions asked lovely sister at the front off the restaurant she is mashallah very helpful should be getting a raise very gluten friendly and any allergies

great service especially from the waiter who served us sana

Good food and great service 👌 especially from a young lady called sanna :)

Very nice and tasty food 10/10 services

Great food and amazing service. Really tasty authentic curries!

Excellent food and great family sitting area

Hidden Gem—Family atmosphere and great vibe. I recommend everyone to come !!!

Ordered for Dine in was excellent service would defo recommend.

Not how the old shimlas used to be it's gone really downhill hope they can pick it up

Zainab was a great hostess and the food was delicious as always. Food never disappoints at Shimlas

Food was good. Service from staff member zainab was excellent, she was very attentive. Thank you

Best food place in Oldham best service from uzair keep it up highly recommended

took out my take away and virgin mojito was absolutly tasteless i rang up she said thats the way the make and i tried it was fine and lastly replied i dont have anything to say it was a really waste of money though

Took 90 minutes to serve the food

Server was rude! Will not return because of her attitude and actions towards my family

The food was exceptional as was the man serving us

Been using Shimlas Oldham for a while the food taste great, especially their sauces.

Can’t fault this restaurant! Amazing service and food. The staff are so pleasant and welcoming. Definitely recommend this place.

The guy name Adam is so good .. perfect service. Nice greater quality

Exellent service my adam really enjoyed everything perfect well done keep it up Allah pak ap ko salamat rakhe ameen 💖

Great Food. Ambiance was marvellous Thanks

I ordered last week - the meat seekh kebab naan and oh my gosh it was so rubbery and tough to eat. Kebab so hard to break off and chew. It had long pieces of strings of fat and was just not pleasant. Cut down on the fat that makes it so rubbery and tough.make it edible

Food very good and very tasty ,good service and nice place for family ,and good service by the waiters Zainab and adam

Slow service it’s sad to see only one guy being at the front desk and the only waiter The management needs to sort them selves out and send support and more workers to help that put me off coming again so low rating Ruined my appetite for food regardless

Lovely food, the hospitality was marvellous particularly ZAINAB who really made the meal more wonderful. Definitely recommend the Oldham branch.

Lovely atmosphere lovely fresh food

Very nice. food was amazing and service was excellent

zainub was very useful and food was lovely thanks

Thanks to zainab and khasaf for their brilliant service,

Food was nice, Staff are friendly and reasonably priced. Not much parking but there is some space around the back.

Lovely service from adam and food was amazing

The mixed donner with naan is overrated. They put too much cinnamon in the sauce on the chicken donner. I've had it before and the cinnamon is always overpowering. The dynamite chicken was nice and tbr portions sizes are good value

Very nice food and really pleasant staff Zaynab the waitress was lovely and a pleasure making our visit even better will definitely be coming back with family

I have a great day, good food and really good service , one of the staff Zainab was brilliant.

Great food!! Loved the chicken donner 😋 Very welcoming, amazing staff and 10/10 customer service from Zaynab 🤩🫶🏾

Decently priced, kebab and naan and fries were all good. Nothing spectacular, but priced very reasonably for what it was! Service was good, we were a huge group with so many demands!

Great Experience. Have been a few times with the family and the food/service has been on point each time. The restaurant also has a car park and offers a prayer room which adds to the convenience.

Chicken donner on naan with their famous mayo sauce, excellent as always! I don’t understand why charge extra £0.50p to not have salad and £1.80p a can? That’s extortionate!

Really great services amazing food we are really happy today b/c we are very hungry today and we want to eat some things different..and we come first time here..we try chicken karai babrbi q pattern ufffff and nan they all are very very nice

Shout out to the 2 servers Adam and Zainab for helping us with a quick request. We had to leave early from our group and requested for the food to be delivered ASAP. And they delivered within 15 mins I had my mojito and chicken kebab so we were happy :)

The ambience of the restaurant was good, drinks were great, even the raita was good, and the wings were tasty. However, the chicken in the karahi and biryani lacked the authentic flavor that is typically present in the broth, giving it a weird, tasteless chicken flavor instead.

Bit of wait but it was worth it. Food was fresh and the sauces were really nice.

Food was delicious service fantastic

Really good food. Best food and Service. Recommended

Excellent food n service. Great ambiance

Really Amazing people! , Served my Zainab she was great !

What a great place to eat. Delicious food and fantastic customer service. Very reasonable prices. Defined worth more than a visit!!

Amazing food and amazing service My partner and I came in for the first time today and will definitely be back again
