The Voujon Failsworth in Oldham

Been a few times, but the last visit, the food wasn't great

My son went here for his birthday , he wasn’t asked when ordering if there was any allergies and nothing was shown on the menu , he took one small mouthful of chicken tikka masala and began to have a allergic reaction as it contained nuts , very lucky his allergy isn’t severe as he had other symptoms such as tingling of lips and vomiting it was heard that the manager said’ why has he had to be sick right outside ‘ we went to pick him up and he was given a meal that didn’t contain anything so he didn’t miss out but this ruined his night as he had to come home obviously the manager (or whoever it was ) showed no concern whatsoever I’m appalled at this and thought he would have been treated with more compassion and concern !!

Excellent atmosphere and good value for money

We have been going here since it was the Saffron. Still one of the best.

I ordered a take away. Food awful… I put it in the bin… I’m waiting to speak with the manager… up to date he’s not had the curtesy to return my call.

Went on Fri night with friends. Very welcoming staff, sat us down and took our drinks order right away. We ordered starters and mains. He quickly came back with poppadoms and tray. Later they brought our mains. Exotica balti and 2 other Curry's. They were nice but not exciting. Price good, quick smiling staff, nice decor. We asked one of the staff to close the window because we were cold and the 3 ladies on the next table were moaning how cold they were. His answer was no. He said he would turn the Aircon off. But it was still cold, customer always right not used here. Not a lot of parking, we parked a few streets away and walked. Sorry no pics.

This review is more around the meal deals that Voujon promotes as amazing deals on Facebook and blocking me when asking a question. Firstly, earlier in the year they plugged the relaunch of the AMAZING 4 course meal deal over several postings and when it was finally revealed, there was no difference, only an extortionate £5 increase and you no longer have to book in advance, but if you just walk in they will charge you an additional £5 for the pleasure! You would think in the current climate, you’d be grateful of any walk in’s but no, just complete greed in my opinion. Who in the right mind would pay this anyway? It would work out more expensive than going off the menu!! Now they've launched another meal deal to celebrate serving the people of Failsworth for the past 17 years. This AMAZING offer is a 3 course meal deal for £15.95. I asked a question on Facebook as to whether poppadom’s were included, to which I was BLOCKED instantly, so the question couldn’t be answered. I then decided to ring the restaurant and ask the question, (to which I already knew the answer would be no), but I wanted to hear it from the horse’s mouth. It was on the call, that it was confirmed that poppadom’s are NOT included. How can this be an amazing deal? He takes poppadom’s off and reduces the price, so customers are no better off as most would buy them anyway! I for one will never visit again. There’s plenty of better meal deal offers at Indian restaurant’s in the surrounding area, that are all cheaper and better quality than Voujon.

4 adults had a lovely meal, all dishes were very tasty the only let down was the cobra lager that had no taste whatsoever

Me and my family have been coming for many years it’s a lovely restaurant and the manager is lovely. We want to thank them for making our girls birthday special and top marks for food as always xx

Good food great service a bit dated apart from that good place to eat.

My first time at Voujon the service was excellent nothing is to much for them. The food was excellent the meat samosas starter was the best I have eaten just the right amount on the plate The Lamb rogan josh was served in a bowl and rice separate so you could serve yourself as little or more if needed I would definitely return

Best Indian in Failsworth/ Oldham

The best Indian restaurant in Failsworth and Oldham by far ! Staff are so friendly

The best Indian food in Manchester. Always tastes so fresh and full of flavour. The staff are also amazing, friendly and helpful. Will always come back!

I was also poorly eating from here a few days ago and so was my family who also dined in. We waited so long for the food to be ready and served and had to wait ages for the Popadoms to come out. I dined in with my friend who has also put a similar review (which by the way is an honest and REAL review so why its being “reported to google” makes no sense at all reporting the lowest reviews because there low).They ask for money upfront which makes things very confusing and the prices aren’t clear on the menu. Won’t be eating or coming here again.

Been so poorly after eating here, they make the prices up as they go along with service, waited 45 mins for poppadoms, starters an mains came out together, which meant the mains were cold when we went to eat. The portion sizes are made for children the drinks were wayyyy to over priced and advertises four cocktails yet only had one, could be a really nice place but wouldn't go again

No car park, I struggled to park. We did go mid week so it was a bit quiet.

Ordered New Year’s Eve was told hour and a haif wait it was actually 3 hours. Very rude on phone and when food actually arrived it was awful ! Would never order from here again .

Lovely family meal out. Great friendly efficient service.

Title: A Gastronomic Extravaganza from The Voujon Indian Restaurant Introduction: Prepare to embark on a culinary adventure like no other at The Voujon Indian Restaurant. This gem offers an exquisite dining experience that will transport you to the vibrant streets of India. With a menu boasting a wide range of authentic dishes, impeccable service, and a warm ambience, The Voujon is a haven for food enthusiasts seeking an unforgettable meal Appetisers: To start my culinary journey, I began with the classic combination of poppadoms and chutneys. The crispy and light poppadoms served as the perfect vessel to scoop up the array of flavorful chutneys. The burst of flavours awakened my taste buds and set the stage for the delicious feast ahead. For my starters, I indulged in the seekh kebab and chicken chat puri. The seekh kebab was a true delight, with succulent minced lamb infused with aromatic spices and grilled to perfection. The smoky flavour and tender texture of the kebab were complemented by a zingy mint sauce, creating a harmonious combination of taste and texture. The chicken chat puri, a popular street food delicacy, featured tender pieces of chicken cooked in a tangy and spicy sauce, served on a crispy and light puri. The explosion of flavours in each bite left me craving for more. Main Course: The star of my main course was the chicken tikka madras, a dish that epitomises the bold and robust flavours of Indian cuisine. The tender chicken tikka was bathed in a luscious and aromatic madras sauce, infused with a tantalising blend of spices. The heat of the dish was perfectly balanced, allowing the flavours to shine through without overpowering the palate. Accompanied by a side of chips, the chicken tikka madras was a symphony of flavours that satisfied our cravings. Breads: No Indian meal is complete without a selection of bread, and The Voujon's plain naan did not disappoint. The naan was soft, fluffy, and perfectly baked, with just the right amount of char on the edges. It served as the ideal accompaniment to the rich and flavorful main course, allowing us to savour every bite. Conclusion: My dining experience with The Voujon Indian Restaurant was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I called the restaurant, I was greeted with warm hospitality and attentive service. The quality and authenticity of the dishes, from the appetisers to the main course, showcased the culinary expertise of the chefs. Each bite was a revelation, transporting me to the vibrant streets of India. If you are in search of an exceptional dining experience that celebrates the flavours and traditions of Indian cuisine, The Voujon is a must-visit. With a menu that caters to every palate, impeccable service, and an ambience that exudes warmth and sophistication, this restaurant will leave you with cherished memories and a desire to return for more culinary delights.

Never felt the need to bad vibe a place under current situation in the world but tonight after several visits previous with no issues can't believe what we encountered and by the way food was spot on but end of night after asking for separate bills we encountered one bill in total we asked for separate bills numerous staff got involved with several figures encountered none at anytime came up with the same figures 2.50 for half orange cordial for kids kids meals curries full price no hot water tap working in gents toilets I'm most disappointed in vujon and will never go again all I can say to all is check what your paying for at this venue and I don't pleasure slating a business but beware

Love it, love them. They are so personable

Been a regular here for almost 10years Fantastic service friendly staff. If things are at fault they put it right quickly food is class keep up the good work thanks again

Went here for tea and it was beautiful food I had Sizzling Tikka with pepper and onions 🌰 Rice chips will definitely go again 😋

First time at this restaurant, and I won" t be coming back,due to the ridiculous prices,£5 for a glass of cheap coke,hardly any chicken in the korma,not over generous with the food,nice inside,pleasant staff,that's all I can say

Eaten at this restaurant a few times as a vegetarian it’s refreshing to find a restaurant that uses fresh vegetables. But on this visit 23/9/23 we come back from a lovely break ask my daughter and son in law to pick our order . Everyone happy few items wasn’t up to standard poppadoms where not fresh ? My veggie curry was so disappointing every mouthful was just onions and mainly not cook long enough few odd bits off green beans and small Amounts of sweetcorn . Totally not the best vegetable curry so disappointed. Four of us that had a meal and everyone’s else was good mainly just the veggies curry or lack of vegetables

The best curry myself and my husband had for our for our 4th year wedding anniversary. Piping hot when arrived, lamb and chicken lovely and tender. Waiters were very polite and friendly, would recommend the voujon for anyone that loves Currys

Nice quality and not bad price either

Great food, fantastic value meal deal, attentive waiters and pretty fast service although we had to wait a little but for our table to become available. Would highly recommend.

This was a lovely restaurant,not anymore not sure if it’s been sold on,beware!,charged £6 for a lime and soda,food was cold and staff rude,such a shame

We used to visit regularly but its gone down hill in recent times, had a large group and food came out all at different times, with peoples sides in the same basket that had to be passed form one end if the table to the other. £3 for lemonade which was poured for a 2ltr bottle into a glass smaller than a half pint is a absolute joke. Won't return and suggest you don't go.

Best curry's in Manchester chefs r worth every penny 👍

Food was great, the 4 for £15 is really good and it seemed like a great place. The only slight negative is that the cokes were £5 a glass which is a bit of a shock at the end of the meal, especially with children and people not drinking!

Lovely food, 3 of us enjoyed the 4 course for £15 meal deal. Poppadoms, generous portion of starter (4 onion bhajis each / 3 veg samosa) popular curry of choice and a choice of rice or a naan bread. However £5 for a 'large' glass of coca cola was a bit steep especially as it was not even cold.

Staff friendly and helpful and the food is amazing. Five 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟 service with seven 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟food... You will not beat the voujan for a lovely meal out anywhere in Manchester. Will be back ASAP. 😁

Excellent meal tonight! Had indian meals all over Manchester for many years but nothing better than this. JB looked after us & other customers really well & the flavours of the food were incredible! Not just hot but flavourful hot - bang on, coming back soon thanks so much for restoring my faith in indian restaurants.

Food is amazing. Best curry house in failsworth. However be aware that they will add items that you haven’t had to your bill. It’s happened to me on 3 separate occasions. They may add a couple of pints or the odd starter. So while the food is fantastic just make sure you check your bill at the end 👍

Excellent service and atmosphere, the food is of the highest quality I have eaten at a restaurant in a very long time. I would highly recommend this restaurant to all my friends, family and associates.

I have been using voujon since it opened, its the best around by far. The food is fantastic and the staff are brill.

Food was amazing, helpful and friendly staff and a great atmosphere

Are first time her but not are last. Great food and service all staff very welcoming and friendly. We was given a table in the window which was for 4 given us plenty off room . Very reasonable price as well. I be returning as soon as I can food was so nice.

The food was lovely really enjoyed it and it was also served hot which you don't often get will be coming again soon

The staff are so friendly , from walking in to walking out. The food is amazing and always recommends good dishes

Best restaurant for dining in around Failsworth

Really nice service. Food was good but not many vegetarian options

Foods nice but last time I went in they strong armed me into paying cash giving me the “card machine broken” line, so buyer beware. Haven’t been back.

Website says open until 12 drove down at 11 and it was closed.....not good ,!!!

Had a takeaway from here , picked up on way home from work , ready when I arrived 👍 friendly staff and food was delicious,

Awesome Ambience, Quality Service with Tasty😋 Dishes at Affordable Tariff. Good Management under the Able offices of Mr JB

Great food, excellent value for money. Staff are always attentive and friendly.

Beautiful food and wonderful service

This was the 2nd year of going to the Voujon for our Xmas Dinner; last year was really good hence booking again. This year – OMG! – it was £30 a head and we were on the middle of 3 sittings at 3.30pm to be off table by 5.30pm. When we arrived it was packed, usual parking problems that go with eating at this restaurant. We were seated at our table for 6 which had been cleared but not prepared again for our arrival – plate with 8 popadoms on, 6 christmas crackers, 6 small plates but no cutlery, menus or usual stuff. It was obvious the staff were struggling to cope with the numbers seated. We were asked twice by different staff, quite abruptly what we wanted to order despite asking for a menu so we could choose. We eventually got the menu and the staff member, taking order was very abrupt and rushing us, talking over us when asking questions – even saying “you’ve been coming here years and you don’t know what the food is”. We asked for chips – “can’t have chips” – but the table behind us have just been served portions of chips? – “they are paying extra and it’s inconvenient to do”….. sorry…. Inconvenient ? I asked. “they are paying extra” he said – well we will pay extra says I…. much to his obvious displeasure. It’s safe to say the afternoon continued in a very similar way so to cut long story short – had to ask for menu’s twice, cutlery twice, iced water three times, told waiter (quite senior one) taking order that he was rushing us and he needed to allow us at least a few seconds to decide; had to have ‘heated discussion’ re availability of chips; Dessert time and menu said cheesecake or kulfi – we ordered to be told no cheesecake or kulfi but we have Yorkshire Pudding with sauce !!! (think he meant Xmas pudding). We said how can you have no desserts left when you have another full service at 5.30 what will you give them ? Miracle…. Suddenly they find a cheesecake and 3 kulfi’s as requested. Meanwhile we had been waiting for half a pint of bitter for 15 minutes for us to be told on asking again “we only sell pints”…. As that waiter was leaving table he bumped into another one stood there bringing us our half of bitter….it was absolute chaos. My husband goes to pay bill to old bloke behind counter to be told if you don’t have your receipt for your deposits it’s not counted. OMG… here we go. We had paid £60 deposit months ago – they told us they would not take any bookings for christmas day without a £10 deposit per person and had written it down in the book when we gave it to them. So I argued again and reminded him of their policy no deposit no booking – eventually after some underbreath but legible profanities from him – he took the £60 off. Told us the amount (over £230) chucked the paper under the counter and wanted paying. I asked for a copy of the bill and he refused – so I told him ‘no bill – no money’ simple as…. He then let me take a picture on my phone. Hubby accidently took his card out of machine too quickly and bloke had a melt down shouting and swearing at him for removing card. By this time a large queue had gathered outside and the staff were struggling to get them in for last sitting – not due to us, just others still in there. The food was nice. Service and some staff attitudes absolutely abysmal – just what I believe a Karen’s Diner to be. Luckily we didn’t let it spoil our day and found it that bad it was funny. Will we book again….not a chance…. Probably be barred after this review anyway. Grand Millon here we come.

Awful place!! Shocking service!! Rude attitude!! Waited an hour and 10 minutes for our starters then another 35 minutes for our traditional Christmas Dinner which was cold when we got it! Had to keep asking for gravy which was lumpy!! Then when it was time for dessert they had ran out so no dessert. They said they had 1 piece of cheesecake left and said 1 of the children could have it (there were 2 children) and 11 adults (2 of which are disabled) my 92 year old mum and my blind brother who has learning disabilities we asked (before the day) if we could be near the disabled toilets and the walk way to the toilet door was blocked with people sat at a table so no room for wheelchair etc..also my elderly mum had a pint of lager but likes a half glass as easier to drink so asked for a half glass and the manager serving behind the bar said just hang on I can only do one thing at a time. Very rude also we said we paid for a 3 course meal not 2 course as no dessert so they said they would knock abit off the bill then all of a sudden they found a cheesecake for 13 people?? No only 3 people and the size on the plate was no bigger than a dessert spoon so refused it and demanded a reduction off the bill they reluctantly agreed and as each group paid their share via card they said someone hadn't paid but we all paid..definitely do not recommend this place so unprofessional and rude no respect atall..avoid at all costs!!!!!!!!

Why are you giving half portions 🤷‍♀️ We’ve been coming to you for years. Will not be coming again. Also came in with 7 of my friends , they couldn’t believe how small the portions were.

We was a group of 6 women who went to the voujon for our xmas meal Right from the start the waiter was very pushy telling us to buy drinks that was priced £60 on the menu We did buy a bottle off wine which was priced £20 and 8% vol And as we all work in retail we new this brand barefoot cost £4 At one point we had to tell the waiter to stop hassleing us The curry's was disgusting the korma was like soup with no taste There's better restaurants in failsworth to visit.

Being a Disabled person it's hard for me to interact with others. This was the first time coming here because its local and it was very quiet. On arrival the Waiter shook my Hand and welcomed me which was nice, the Food was absolutely delicious I can't fault it at all. However, the looks they gave me were very unpleasant then speaking in there native Language so we couldn't understand and laughing made the whole experience very uncomfortable. First and last time we will go here and it's such a shame because the food was the best I've had in a long time, hence the 2 stars 🌟 #PeopleAreGay get over it..

Had a takeaway delivered to my house Food and service absolutely perfect. Couldn't fault it and would definitely recommend and will use again

Great food staff brilliant really enjoyed everything 😀 👍

Came here for the first time and had a lamb bhuna and chicken rogan josh, food was exceptional best curry I've had in failsworth bar none.. The service was fantastic all very friendly and relaxed.. Definately be returning here thank you

Superb food and service never had a bad experience at the Voujon

Our 1st and definitely last time. Shocking service, waited 2 hours for our main & still had to wait for dishes. The manager couldn't careless at our disappointment. No sorry for your wait... Nothing. Never again

Best Indian restaurant I've ever been to. Super fresh and just delicious. Good value too, what's not to love?!

I definitely would reccomend to all who love great, delicious food. Why are you still reading this? You must go there now! What are you waiting for?! :-)

Always the friendliest staff and the food is amazing every time :)

Great food at reasonable price, friendly staff that made you feel welcome.

What a little gem of a place , the food is so nice and fresh and the staff are all so friendly

Great food friendly staff well worth a visit

Always a lovely welcome food excellent

Nice restaurant lovely food helpful staff would definitely recommend

Just ordered a takeaway it was the best Indian takeaway I've ever tasted absolutely delicious and what a lovely pleasant delivery man I give this restaurant 10 out of 10 Superb food.

As always the food was excellent. We had our order delivered and the driver was friendly and polite. The food was still hot on delivery. Portions are of a good size.

Lovely food. Lovely staff will definitely go back.

Absolutely perfect food everytime, I couldn't recommend this place enough! The Staff are very friendly and welcoming 😁

Voujon Failsworth is without doubt the best restaurant in the world. Not only is the food excellent, the staff are what make this place great. Very friendly. Thanks JB and make sure you tell chef of my appreciation for the custom made chicken tikka Ne-Paul-i, toned down for my spicy requirements. Love to you all. See you all very soon X

Absolutely brilliant, food was spectacular, brilliant portions and no problems at all. Superb service, best in the business. The whole restaurant is spectacular, nothing at all bad to say about this fantastic indian masterpiece. Absolutely fantastic.

Went for a meal with a couple of friends but we wasn't allowed to have the set meal at the discounted price which was advertised because we hadn't booked a table in advance, But the people sat on the table next to us are paying less money because they had booked the table. What sort of stupid rule is that. The manager was rude and didnt seem to have time for us. The worse thing was the restaurant was almost empty. And the food they served tasted bland and the curries all tasted the same. You think this is the best in Oldham try Kali gaulli for different flavours.

Best take away & lovely delivery driver H . Thank you

Food was good as well as service.

Ordered a takeaway delivered by 'H' very friendly man. Food lovely

Cosy atmosphere, attentive staff, great food.

Excellent food good staff prices are average but no parking

Not made to feel welcome . Cold no atmosphere ' ive eaten in resurants around the word ' Africa , Pakistan ,and the taj Mahal in Bombay . . . Here 5 mins from home we where made to feel like foreigners . The Resturant was empty it was just turned 5 o' clock Thursday . We could not take advantage of the £13 plus offer becouse we did not book a table so we would have to pay full price ( we could have booked a table there and then if we had phoned from our table but it wasn't worth it ...We were not welcome ' the Manager was miserable . We left thanking the waiters anyway ' just a shame one of them knew no English . . . WE WENT SOME WHERE ELTS AND HAD A GREAT MEAL .

Six off us went beautiful meal service spot on

Arrived with a nice welcome, the staff are friendly and make sure you have everything you need. Food came quick and all in order with poppadoms, chutney dishes, veg and meat samosas and curries. They all tasted great, brilliant service overall for our date night and will definitely be coming back aswell as takeaway! Also clean place and lovely interior. Great atmosphere. Thanks guys.

The food was excellent and we had H as our delivery guy very friendly and polite thank u

Gorgeous food and friendly service takeaway and delivered on time.

Not one for giving reviews, but I feel I have to leave one for this gem of a place, the staff always go the extra mile an accommodate to all your needs. The food speaks for its self, extremely flavoursome and second to non! My new favourite place, thank you to all the staff at voujon for the fantastic food an hospitality!

Lovely food, quick speedy delivery service and very friendly delivery driver. Would highly recommend

Abdulla was our server and he had a laugh with both me and my partner. He was genuinely a lovely guy. The food was brilliant and we will definitely be coming back again.

Abdullah was the friendliest gentleman I've ever come across, served me with a smile and cracked a joke. Will be coming again, very happy about the service and the food

Nice meal, delivery Driver H very friendly and helpful thanks

‘H’ the delivery driver was charming Thank you 😊
