About Hamzah Sweet & Bakers
Hamzah Sweet & Bakers is a halal restaurant on St Helens Rd in Bolton, open daily on a walk-in basis.

The menu extends to samosa chaat, and curries such as keema and chicken saag can be ordered to take away.

Customer Review Summary
That praise sits against a real, recurring complaint about freshness and consistency. Several reviewers describe food that smelled or tasted old, including kebabs one diner says "smelled like a dead rat" and were binned on the spot after a complaint, hair found in tea, and a chicken curry that "smelled like it's a week old." Others report burnt or undercooked aloo paratha, a chana curry gone watery, shrunken halwa puri portions, and repeated accounts of rude or dismissive staff, including one reviewer describing being insulted over a request for extra chickpea curry. One Uber Eats order with a missing portion was resolved after a staff member apologized by phone and promised to make it up on the next order.

“We’re ate at this restaurant twice , the first time we ate it was horrible the food smelled like it’s a week old and was bubbling up. The second time we ate was yesterday and we thought it would be a lot better since they done some changes. We ordered a chicken curry and kebabs with 2 teas and alloo paratha. Let me talk about the kebabs they smellet like a dead rat so we complained and in front of our eyes he threw them in the bin and to top it off the service was so rude and bad then comes the worst part there was 2 hair in the tea that’s when we got up and stopped eating n left.”
