About Oldham Star

A house salsa chilly sauce is served with chips and on burgers.

Customer Review Summary
Kobedas are the draw most reviewers return to, with one calling them the best they have tasted and noting no greasy aftertaste. Close behind are the chicken shawarma, the lamb doner that one reviewer describes as soft rather than chewy, and the chicken burgers, which reviewers say are made fresh to order with crispy onions, fermented cabbage, lettuce, cucumber and tomato. Chicken doner on naan with salad and chips also gets a mention, and the Oldham Star special pizza won over one reviewer who had never liked pineapple on pizza. Staff are described as friendly, hardworking and quick, and the shop as clean and spotless. The caveats are small: one reviewer finds the menu fairly limited, and another says it is hard to find a seat inside when busy. Reviewers also single out the house salsa chilly sauce on chips and burgers, and one says garlic bread goes on the side of every order, whatever else they get.
