About Indian Ocean

Indian Ocean is an Indian takeaway at 5 St Michaels Square in Ashton Under Lyne. The kitchen was established in 1993 and won Best in the North West at the British Curry Awards in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2012. The dining room has closed, so the business now runs as a takeaway only. The menu covers Indian and Pakistani dishes, including chicken bhuna and chicken tikka balti, with chips served alongside the curries. Samosas come in meat and veg versions, and poppadoms, dips and naan breads can be added to an order. Vegan options are on the menu. Orders are taken by phone, Uber Eats and Just Eat.

Customer Review Summary

Late or cancelled delivery orders are the complaint reviewers raise most. One reviewer says an app quote of 15 to 25 minutes became an hour and a half, with food mostly cold, and others report orders cancelled via Uber Eats and Just Eat after a long wait, one only minutes after a dispatch notice. A Father's Day order arrived two hours after it was placed. Food complaints are close behind: a chicken tikka biryani and a chicken balti described as inedibly spicy, soggy or recooked chips, burnt poppadoms and rice, a bland lamb tikka starter, and a chicken bhuna called vile. One reviewer who phoned to complain was told the food is always cooked fresh and offered a resend. Praise comes from regulars who order weekly. They single out the chicken tikka balti with chips and naan and the garlic chicken saagwala as fresh and full of flavour, and describe quick collection and a friendly man on the phone. A vegan reviewer calls the vegan options great, and one customer's delivery came from a really nice driver.

    “We order from here once a week and it never disappoints. Our regular order is the chicken tikka balti with chips and naan, plus the garlic chicken saagwala. It is absolutely outstanding every time. Food is consistently fresh, full of flavour, and clearly made with care. Collection and delivery are always quick, and the man on the phone is always friendly and helpful. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

    “This is now a takeaway/delivery so not putting anything on atmosphere. Food was absolutely awful. I ordered sheesh kebab and chips and a portion of meat samosas along with some veg ones. The chips were "yesterdays" chips. Recooked. Disgusting. The rest of it was so flavourless and bland. I wouldn't have given it to my dog. Didn't even eat most of it even though we're hungry. Waste of money. Going to have to make something. They should be ashamed of themselves. Who would distribute food as bad as this? Have some damn pride in what you do. Follow up from the reply from them stating the chips are cooked every hour. I'm sorry but this cannot be true. Either that or the oil has been well overused. Everyone, businesses, workers in any working industry should be proud of what they do is what I was trying to state. It's not a personal dig. It's a fact. We had to throw most of it away. It cannot have been fresh!”

    “Worst takeaway delivery I've ever had hands down. Poppadoms were burnt and had a fishy tasted. Chuckneys had a strange perfume taste and watery. Bhaji looked like it had been stamped on. Lamb tika starter looked like it had been pre-chewed and was so bland and dry. The rice was burnt and tasted it. Chips were undercooked. All the curries were OK ish. And it came late. All in all spent £40 was worth a 5er in my eye. I actually thought it was a prank. Also, It's obvious from all other comments and unprofessional replies.”

    “Awful service. Cancelled order 10 minutes before it was due to be delivered via uber eats. It took them 50 minutes to conclude that they could not fulfill the most basic of orders. This place has gone down the hill.”

    “Placed an order and it got cancelled after 45 minutes. Not very good at all, just shows they hadn't even started to prepare the order..... Follow up to the restaurants reply. I did not contact them. Order was placed via just eats, after waiting I received notification that the food was ready and being dispatched. It was then cancelled within a few minutes”
