Shimlas Oldham

Absolutely love shimlas this place is always a good shout. Food is always 10/10 family friendly and there’s free parking around the back just log your reg in when you go inside, or there is a pay and display across the road. The lamb chops are always 10/10 flavour wise and the meat so tender. Love the fish pakoras can eat loads of them lol. The fresh lamb balti or lamb chop tikka masala is our favourite curry. Blue lagoon mocktail is nice. Over all this place is always a good choice and I would certainly recommend.

Been here twice now and love the flavours they have. It is on a busy road with limited parking behind the restaurant but there are a few parking spots not too far away. You must remember, if you park behind the restaurant, you have to provide your vehicles registration number otherwise you'll get a fine However, the restaurant is walking distance from the town centre. The restaurant looks very nice and clean 10/10 and you can tell they take care of the place. Both times we went was lunch time but it seems like it's always busy. They have many options on the menu and the lamb chops take about 20-25 minutes to cook so best to order them as soon as you sit down if you want them. They are delicious and worth the try. However, what we ordered the second time, didn't take long to arrive and took about 15 minutes. The service was great, they are always smiling and happy to help, assist and answer questions. The food had a mix of flavours and although we were quickly full, we could not resist the delicious food and had to finish everything by only giving back the plate empty. Recommend you try the dynamite prawns. Prices are a little higher than some other places but worth it if you want quality, that little extra is worth it. Will definitely be going back Again and can recommend. Might even try a take away soon too. Great place, great service and great food. Perfect!

Just had an amazing experience thanks to Aseeba who served us. She was super friendly and really went out of her way to make sure we were taken care of. From helping us choose the perfect dish to checking in just the right amount, everything was spot on. You can tell she genuinely cares about her guests, and that kind of service is hard to come by. Honestly, she made our night way better! She’s the STAR of Shimlas!!

I’ve heard of Shimlas before, and wanted to try this place with a friend. We arrived at around 6.30pm and the restaurant wasn’t too busy, perhaps 30% full. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and has a chill vibe. This restaurant is 100% halal, and does not serve alcohol. The food here is decently priced, and there are big and small tables which is good for various size groups. The waitress was very friendly, and she answered any questions we had about the menu. We ordered the mixed grill platter, sides, and drinks. The menu says the platter takes around 30 minutes to prepare, and it was pretty spot on. While the food was being prepared, I went to pray in the prayer room downstairs. It was carpeted and very clean. There are also separate toilets downstairs for men and women, however they were both out of order when I walked past. The food was very yummy. The mixed grill was piping hot, each element was cooked to perfection, and very flavourful. It wasn’t dripping in oil either. The sides and drinks we ordered were also good, no complaints :) Overall, I would happily bring more friends and my family to this restaurant as it offers a number of grilled options, and karahi dishes :D

The restaurant is located on the corner with glass windows letting in natural light adding to the atmosphere of the building. There are adequate parking areas around the restaurant with pay and display, but there is also free parking after 6pm and on Sunday. Inside the setting is nice and clean with spacious seating. They have standard rectangle tables with chairs and also booth seating for 7 plus people. The seating is spacious, comfortable and pleasant. Now onto the most important part, the food. The food is amazing, rich in flavour, fresh, hot and tasty. We ordered a range of different dishes, starters, kids, main course and their signature donner dishes. Order took 10-15 minutes to prepare and it was all hot and fresh. The naans were big, soft and filling. I would definitely recommend people to try this place. The staff were really helpful and friendly which gave us a great experience of this gem of a restaurant. Thank you for having us. As we were leaving, we didn't realise they also have a take away at the back of the building with a separate entrance to the restaurant and their own car park. So if your travelling or want to eat in at home, they have got you covered too.

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!

MashaAllah this place is really good. We regularly attend as a group of friends. Whilst the food and service is always good and spot on what is very pleasing for us is that the restaurant is HMC approved, has a very good-sized prayer room (we even do salah in jamat) and will always play nasheed upon request.

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
