5 Indian Restaurants in Oldham you need to try!

For over 200 years now (yes, it’s been that long!) Brits have been enjoying the thousands of different variations of cuisine that came from the land of India!

In recent decades, with countless new Indian restaurants an takeaways popping up all over the country, it’s hard to argue that the hugely popular spice-based food hasn’t taken the UK by storm.

In fact, as study in 2016 showed that some Brits will even spend up to £30,000 on Indian food in their lifetime. Given these numbers, it’s safe to say Indian food is less of a treat and more of a national obsession.

But what about round these parts? Indian restaurants in Oldham can be found in various locations across the town and region as a whole.

So if you’re on the hunt for Indian restaurants in Oldham, have no fear – here are just a few suggestions to get you started!
