Customer Review Summary
The jumbo kebab draws the strongest praise, called massive enough for several people and good value, with chicken n chips biryani and fried chicken also singled out favorably. But recent reviewers describe decline: one recounts a burger drenched in hot sauce with no apology and rude staff on the phone, while another cites an inedible naan and a chicken donner called hard, blamed on snow.

“Stunning food! We ordered a jumbo kebab. It is massive! Would feed 10 adults. Delivered quickly, fresh and hot! Considering the size of the portions, it’s amazing value! Can’t recommend Gold Star enough”

“Last time ordering from these guys. Gone really down hill the last few months. They just sent me the worse naan I've seen in my life, inedible. Last week the chicken donner was hard, they said it had shrivelled up cos it was snowing outside. Got no words. Shame as used to be one of the best in oldham”

“It was ok, chips were ok, pizza was ok edible but dull, fried chicken was lovely though. Salad was ok, sauces were ok.”
- Zobair Hussain
“Ordered a cheese burger and chips from here. I asked for hot sauce and mint sauce on the chips, with ketchup and salad on the burger. However, just before lifting the burger my fingers were covered in hot sauce, the bottom muffin is drenched in liquid hot sauce which seems like it is mixed with water. Upon calling gold star they said it was normal, if you got hot sauce on the chips it will run on to the bun. Did not even receive a apology just an excuse, when responding to this excuse the line went quite like I was placed on mute. Very rude staff. Funny I have never seen a burger drenched this way before. Not the first time ordering from here but this surely will be the last.”
