About Blue Onion Café

Two breakfasts share the menu at Blue Onion Café, a halal café on Henshaw Street in Oldham, a short walk from the indoor and outdoor market. A Desi breakfast is served alongside an English one that runs all day, with cardamom chai or English tea ordered alongside. At lunch the kitchen turns out a homemade cheese and onion pie with gravy. Tables work on a walk-in basis, and you pay at the counter once you have finished eating. A step-free entrance helps visitors with mobility needs, and free disabled parking bays for blue badge holders sit around the corner, with a pay car park nearby. High chairs make it workable for families with young children, and outdoor seating gives the option of eating in the open air. The café trades Monday to Saturday during the daytime and closes on Sundays.

Customer Review Summary

English breakfast is the most frequent draw, with one diner calling it the best in Oldham for the dish and another describing the full English as very nice. Close behind are the desi breakfast, which reviewers pair with cardamom tea or chai, and the homemade cheese and onion pie with gravy, called very tasty. Others single out the bombay sandwich as delicious, along with a lasagna and a meat pie. Portions are described as large and prices as reasonable, and the room as quaint, clean, bright and airy. Staff are called welcoming, friendly and polite, and one reviewer was surprised to find it open early on a Sunday for breakfast. One reviewer describes a service lapse: a drink was never brought but still appeared on the bill, and the change was then handed over short. The diner had to remind the staff member of the note they paid with before it was corrected.

    “Guys!!! Highly Recommended. Had 2 desi breakfast @£6 each. Had cardamom and desi tea, which was extremely good. Kids had muffins with sausage and English breakfast along with chocolate drink with fresh cream. I have tried so many restaurants but this restaurant is the best 👌 👍”

    “I had a good lunch here. The cheese and onion pie with gravy was very tasty. Highly recommend will certainly visit again. The food is good and portion sizes excellent. There is plenty of choice and it’s really good value. Service was efficient. The cafe itself has a lovely cozy atmosphere. A little gem in Oldham definitely worth a visit”
  • Annette Lassey
    “Fabulous Desi breakfast £6 for those who are looking for an authentic taste. Chai or English tea are a must to enjoy, only £1. English breakfast on the menu. Close to indoor and outdoor market. Pay car park nearby and disabled parking free with blue badge just around the corner. Make sure you park in the correct parking bay for your needs.”
