About Cuckoos takeway

On Milkstone Rd in Rochdale, Cuckoos takeaway serves doner kebabs alongside a wider menu of lamb and chicken karahi, biryani, and seekh kebab. Naan bread is made Lahori-style, and masala fish and fish pakora also appear on the counter regularly. The shop runs on a walk-in basis with no reservations, and it opens daily. Curry orders come packed in plastic containers rather than foil, and water is sold bottled rather than served in jugs. Delivery orders are handled through Uber Eats for those ordering remotely.

Customer Review Summary

A recurring complaint describes a decline over time: portions shrinking from foil containers to small plastic ones at the same price, a £3 pulao described as dry and tasteless, and a £1 samosa called too small for its cost. One reviewer also reports being questioned and redirected rudely after asking to use the toilet, and another describes a delivery that never arrived, with the restaurant declining to help resolve it. One diner notes bottled water now replacing jugs previously offered free.

    “After travelling all day for work, I stopped at Cuckoo’s Takeaway to collect some naan and sauces to go with a curry I had made at home. While waiting, I politely asked to use the toilet and was sent upstairs. When I got there, another member of staff told me there wasn’t a toilet there and sent me back downstairs, where I was then questioned about my order and who had sent me up. The whole interaction was rude, embarrassing, and completely unnecessary. I left without using the toilet, collected my food, and drove home. Very unprofessional service—I won’t be returning.”

    “We normally buy Nana's from here and they are proper Lahorei naans. Fish pakora is very delicious as well”
  • Hannah Greenwood
    “Unfortunately the curry portions have reduced rapidly...they used to give large portions in the silver foil containers now they use the small plastic containers and price us still the same...don't get your monies worth anymore .. they've lost my custom”
  • Ganoki Store
    “The order never arrived. The uber driver never brought my package and when I called the restaurant, the receptionist or whatever was really rude to me and said I should call uber to ask for a refund but uber never gave me a refund and he said he can’t do anything about it even if I showed him proof of my ordering and the food not coming. Terrible company and I strongly don’t recommend anyone should buy their products!!!”
  • UMAIR Ahmed
    “Very disappointing food. The £3 pulao was nothing more than dry, tasteless steamed rice and the portion was extremely small. The £1 samosa was also very tiny and not worth the money. This place does not offer good value for what they charge.”
