“First time ordering from here and I dont write reviews for anything. But this place deserves it. Very professional delivery service.They made an off the menu burger for me and it was stunning. The peri chicken platter was amazing! Will now be the only place we order from.”

“Enjoy some Indian and Persian food at Ivory IndoPersian Hidden away on the edge of Stockport, Ivory IndoPersian provides a mixture of Indian and Persian food. Each type of cuisine has its own chef, so make sure you order off the menu that you prefer - don’t expect your asian spices on the Persian dishes. It was really busy when we visited, and at full capacity it may feel a little cramped. Don’t let that deter you from trying it out though. The Indian dishes were; \Pani Puri [£3.50] - This was spicy and yummy, with mashed potatoes inside. The tamarind sauce was really tasty \Ivory Indian Special [For 2 £30.00] - Big, juicy, crunchy prawns just the way we like it and with a proper tandoori taste. The meaty lamb chops were done exactly how you want it \Achari [£12.90] - This was such a good recommendation from one of the owners. Sweet yet spicy and filled with a mixture of spices - such a good lamb curry The Persian dishes were; \Mix Mezze [£7.50] - Included the cucumber yoghurt, a mixed salad, hummus and yoghurt. The cucumber yoghurt was refreshing, the yoghurt tasted like plain, greek yoghurt - think it was meant to be garlic and shallots but this didn’t come through. The indian naan bread that came with it was nice, but a Persian flatter bread would have been better \Ivory Persian Special [For 2 £37.00] - Same as the indian special, the lamb chops were pure meat! The chicken was juicy, the flat kebab a little dry and the other kobedas cooked nicely \Zereshk Polow & Chicken [£12.90] - A sweet taste, quite like rose and saffron providing that unusuality. A simple, unique dish that was really nice The sweetness for the end consisted of the list below. We were so full by this point that they gave us little tasters so we could see what they were like; \Gulab Jamun [£5] - Pure yum but imagine with a bit of ice cream, this would have been heavenly. The cardamom wasn’t overpowering at all, which was nice L\emon Cheesecake [£5.60] - A tangy, refreshing hit \Baklava [£7] - Pure sweet, syrupy baklava We’ll be back to try some more of the Persian goodies Recommended for: Curries, Indian, Persian Service: High Price: ££ Halal: Full Menu”

“Fab food. Friendly people. Perfect for a quick pitstop. Good size portions and they are happy to oblige if u want to alter or change something on the menu. Good value for money”

“I have eaten here tonight, rather too much in fact. The chicken and tarragon ham pie was so delicious, and the veg was cooked just soft enough for my liking. The portion of side chips was generous. The chocolate torte was rich and I'm honestly glad I didn't go for cream on it! Highly recommended.”

“Excellent, didn't intend to go on gluten-free night specifically but it was delicious regardless! Parking is available outside and it's reasonably priced.”

“Went today for the first time, fantastic little place, gorgeous beer garden, staff couldn’t do enough for us. Will definitely be going back.”

“Fast turn around for telephone orders . Plentiful and hot food . Great value for money , and free prawn crackers / bottle of coke for orders over £20.. Salt and pepper chicken portion is enormous !!!!!! . Best on the area .”

“Came here for a pre-birthday meal. Good and service was spot on. I really don’t think there’s a better place in the vicinity at this price point. A great variation of food available including vegan, gluten free and they are also super cautious with allergens which is helpful to see. The menu has a wide variety of food from around the world, including Tapas, steak, Thai style and much more. Staff are extremely helpful and cannot do enough for you. A great atmosphere and vibe to the place to say it is situated in the centre of Oldham, you certainly do not feel like you are there. The only thing that I could nit-pick would be that our food came extremely fast. Which for the vast majority of people is great, however as a type 1 diabetic It was difficult to time my insulin correctly. However I am sure if I had made you aware, the staff would have accommodated. It was that good me and my girlfriend returned on Monday morning to try the brunch. Would highly recommend.”

“Had a meal here for my grand daughters 14th birthday and from booking the table some months earlier to leaving the restaurant on the night of the meal everything went smoothly. Staff were excellent and the food was fab. Thank you for a great family experience”

Their Lobster meal was massive and tasted good, along with the african meal (Amala and Okra soup) I ordered. I would 100% recommend this place and they also do deliveries if you think of it.”

“First visit to the Horton Arms today and I wasn’t disappointed .Lovely, cosy pub- great menu with lots of choice and the food was delicious. What really struck me were the staff -every one of them were really pleasant, helpful and attentive. A gem of a place which I would wholeheartedly recommend.”

“I've been to this pub a few years ago & found it to be a nice pub with a good carvery. I went there a couple of weeks ago & found it friendly, updated & the new owners trying so hard to make it work. Food lovely and staff helpful. I find some of the recent reviews picky & a little bit OTT? Not sure what their agenda is but I'll definitely be back tokeep a new business going!”
