Thamin Restaurant Bar - Rochdale

The food at this restaurant is consistently good, but I was concerned to see that not all staff and waiters were wearing face masks. One overweight waiter in particular seemed unaware of the ongoing pandemic, as he was touching people, leaning over them when serving, and even coughing without a mask. I hope that this issue is addressed before I consider returning to dine here.

Located on the A58 close to Stubble Hall (private residence) This restaurant does not look much from the roadside, but walk down the steps and through the door and the building transforms like Doctor Who's Tardis. Within you will be greeted by very polite and cheerful staff Nice surroundings and quality food. resulting in a good nights dinning

So it’s highly rated. That’s good. High expectations? Perhaps. On the good side, the food was fine, portions were great. The masala was a bit runny lots of sauce and very sweet (I was told). Staff were friendly although the trainee wanted to take drinks and plates away before you’d finished. The space is quite bare. There’s not so much atmosphere. It’s trying to be minimalist but doesn’t quite hit that for me. The thing was that I found a stray chip in my karahi. No one at our table had chips. Where had it come from? I asked an experienced staff member who laughed saying they have the meals stacked up in the kitchen and it must have fallen in. Well what else could have fallen in? I thought. It didn’t give me excessive faith in the kitchen organisation and that makes you wonder about other things. I sure it’s fine but...

Went here for the first time last Thursday in a party of 11 to celebrate the birthday of our 9 yr old granddaughter.Venue chosen by her and good choice.A bit lacking in atmosphere but it was 17:00!!Food was considered good by everyone, if not exceptional, although I thoroughly enjoyed my dish Afghani chicken(?)with a jalfrezi sauce, butter rice and paratha.Will certainly go again

I was craving curry and decided to try a restaurant outside of my area. I ordered 4 main courses and even though we had to wait 25 minutes longer than expected, the food was fantastic and we all enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend this place.
