About Nando's Oldham - Elk Mill

Nando's Oldham - Elk Mill is a restaurant at Unit 21 in Elk Mill, Manchester, just off Junction 20 of the M62 and a 12-minute walk from Boundary Park, which puts it within reach of drivers leaving the motorway and people heading to or from the ground.

Customer Review Summary

Friendly staff are what reviewers mention most, from a server who explained a coeliac daughter's meal and made sure it was suitable, to a helpful worker who caught every part of an order, to a manager who made a delayed dessert personally. Food praise centers on the sunset burger, chuckle burger and grilled chicken burger with houmous, plus the fino pitta, cheesy garlic pitta and coconut gelato. One diner found everything cooked perfectly and fast, though another found the burger buns a little hard to bite. Slow service is the recurring complaint: reviewers describe long waits for a table, mains arriving in two staggered rounds, and a dessert that took far longer than the mains. Cold sides draw criticism too, including chips that were cold and broken and a side of broccoli that arrived raw and was swapped for coleslaw. One diner reports a blocked urinal and a urine smell in the gents. Another describes a platter with charred, chewy chicken livers and little peri seasoning. The sharpest complaint comes from a reviewer who got burnt chicken thighs on three visits and waited for a replacement portion with no refund.

    “Not been here for a while, food was spot on, 10/10, everything was cooked perfectly & arrived quickly. The service was fantastic, really friendly team. Restaurant was clean despite there being a steady flow of customers, couldn’t fault anything.”

    “3rd time this has happened which has caused me to leave this review After the 1st time i received burnt chicken thighs i always make sure to ask them to double check before sending out the order to me or when taking away. However the 3 portions of thighs were all burnt! Some of them 2 a crisp on 1 side and the other side was not cooked at all.. likee pay attention to the food fgs! Your not making a rocket ! And it defo isnt rocket science! Just look at the images ive attached! Went back after driving home for an hour just to find that AGAIN ive got burned to a crisp thighs.. did i ask for them well done????? NO! So drove straight back and this time i didnt want to just let it go! Went back and no apology.. just a we will bring a new portion out for you They didnt even look at the burned meal they had given me.. no refund nothing It was honestly a joke.. atleast give me a complimentary drink whilst i wait another 30 mins for the new order fgs! Your not breaking the bank! So basically after 2 hours and 30 mins..finally got my thighs as i stood at the counter watching them make it.. Then i told them before they finished cooking i might aswel sit inside now at this point as tables had started to become empty.. Next time im staying to check the order and will definitely make someody feel rather inexperienced and stupid as this was the final straw of paying for food and receiving poorly cooked food which ive paid for! UP YOUR GAME AND GET LOST FROM THE KITCHEN!”

    “We had such a wonderful experience at Nando’s Elk Mill . Thanks to Mathew Hickey. He was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive—truly an asset to the team. Our daughter has coeliac disease, and Mathew took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure her meal was safe and suitable. He really went out of his way to ensure Alesha was happy and comfortable, which meant so much to us. Thank you again, Mathew, for your care and excellent service!”
