PARDESI DERA

Oldham’s culinary scene has a gem in Pardesi Dera, where Pakistani cooking takes centre stage with a bold, fiery spirit. This isn’t your standard curry house—these guys bring the heat and the heart of the subcontinent right to your door. The grill work here is exceptional, with meats charred to perfection over open flames, while the curries pack layers of spice that build with every mouthful. It’s a place that understands the balance between tender, smoky kebabs and deeply aromatic, slow-cooked sauces.

Their mixed grill platter is a must-try, loaded with seekh kebabs, chicken tikka, and lamb chops that have a proper smoky kick. The chicken karahi is another standout—simmered with tomatoes, ginger, and green chillies until the flavours meld into a rich, punchy gravy. Everything arrives fresh, fragrant, and unapologetically bold. Whether you’re after a quick delivery or a proper feast for the family, Pardesi Dera delivers the real deal for Pakistani food lovers across Oldham.
