Wasn’t good at all would not ever go back

We had a lovely family dinner here. The puri, dahl and garlic naan were really excellent. Everyone is so friendly and the atmosphere was great. We'll definitely be back!

A slightly out of the way restaurant that you have to work a bit to find but wow is it worth it! A slightly quirky restaurant that really gets the basics right. Excellent Nan bread, delicious main meals that really are different from the standard offerings at most curry restaurants and the best onion bhajis I’ve ever had. Also a very nice owner who made a point of asking about our meal and you get the sense that he really wants to improve and innovate. All I can say is that both he and the restaurant are top drawer and deserve to be very successful.

A reunion meal for 7 that was amazing. Excellent service and food . If in Hythe highly recommend , you will not be disappointed the menu is authentic and varied .

Absolutely the best Indian cuisine in Folkestone and Hythe. None of the others come close to this. I will never eat another disappointing curry around here again, even on Sundays when Coppers are closed I will just wait!

The food was amazing but the service was a little lacking. Over all it was a fantastic evening with wonderful food.

Had a superb meal here with friends. The food is fantastic and the staff friendly and attentive. Highly recommended, will come back.

We were a group of 6 motorcyclists that dined in the restaurant. The food was delicious and well presented with great service from very helpful and friendly staff.

I had a wonderful dining experience at Coppers, where the juicy and perfectly cooked Rajasthani Lamb stood out. The Ginger and Coriander Naan and crispy poppadoms complemented the meal beautifully. I was delighted to find tasty dishes on the menu, which took me back to India. The overall experience was nostalgic and highly satisfying, making it a memorable visit.

I dined at Coppers and had a fantastic meal. The Aalu Fry, Chole, and Gujarati Undhiyu were full of flavor, complemented by the Basmati Rice and Roti. The Aalu Chaat was a tasty start, and the Gulab Jamun was a perfect finish.

I ordered the tandoori chicken thighs and had a few bites before turning the meat over and seeing that it was semi-raw. Not even pink and undercooked but very nearly raw. Obviously we sent it back, but it did taint the experience as I was worried about potential food poisoning. The Dahl was nice but service was also pretty slow unfortunately, so I'd bear all this in mind if you are considering this restaurant. The live piano was also a lovely touch and overall the quality seemed good, so it was a shame about the chicken.

We visited on Friday expecting the wonderful food and service we've had on previous occasions last year. Unfortunately, the veggie samosa was still frozen in the middle and our mains were lukewarm. The bottle of sparkling water we ordered arrived frozen solid! When we complained and sent our food back the young lad who was serving us couldn't apologise enough and looked like he might start crying.. poor guy I felt sorry for him and said it's not your fault but would like to hear from the chef in the kitchen. The waiter said something about no staff or owners or chef didn't turn up or something.. it was difficult to understand him mumbling with his face in his hands. In the end, we didn't get charged for mains and he gave us a bottle of red wine. It's a terrible shame as we've had wonderful meals and family occasions there over the last couple of years. Sadly we won't be returning.

I just loved everything about the restaurant❤️... The vibe, the ambience and the food... Best indian cuisine💯❤️... Thank you for making us feel comfortable🥰... Really enjoyed the day...🤗🤗

Last Friday, I visited Coppers with my friends and enjoyed a fantastic meal. The South Indian curry, garlic naan, and Mangalorean chicken pakoda were delicious. The gulab jamun with ice cream was a perfect ending. The service was attentive and friendly, making the experience even better.

Abysmal. Slow service, limited beer options, cold restaurant, rice and naan was sent back due to it being barely warm. main courses average at best. Inexperienced staff. Freezing in the toilets. Will not be going back.

Such a shame! Ate in Coppers when the new owners took over and thought the food was lovely. Tonight, unfortunately, we had a different experience. No draft lager and not all advertised bottles available, long wait for main, food tepid having to send the rice and naan back (meal then cold), waiting staff apologetic but no management available to discuss issues with. With lots of choices available of Indian/Nepalese in Hythe, won't be going back to Coppers.

A unique space with great service and good food

Absolutely beautiful food. It was honestly the best I have tasted. The chicken melted in the mouth, soft and tender, as was the goat dish my husband had. I loved the complimentary tasters between dishes and the apricot and ginger naan breads. The service was brilliant and the beets were very reasonable : I would suggest you treat yourself to an experience at Coppers as it is Indian food at its finest.

Fantastic food, staff and location.

Delicious food and great ambiance!

Another beautiful take away . Delivered with care . Nice an hot , tastes amazing . Can’t wait to go and eat in the restaurant . Definitely recommend.

Fabulous food, lovely friendly staff. We love this place!

Quite different and very special. Lots of thought and inspiration have been brought to bear here.

This has recently been re-launched with a quiet and modern, intelligent style. Tables are nicely spaced in a large circular room allowing peaceful dining with no crowding. Most importantly of all, the food was simply amazing. I am highly experienced with Indian food and this was no ordinary Anglo-Indian fare. There were many authentic dishes available, and we both tried something we didn’t recognise, and I can say simply that I have rarely had better Indian food anywhere. Truly outstanding. Add to this an excellent family-led service and reasonable prices, and I must conclude that, if you’re in the area, don’t miss it!

After looking at all the reviews, I decided to order a takeaway for the first time, and order was cancelled no explanation given, poor

good was lovely.....only 3 other tables so no atmosphere

Good ambiance, good food. Friendly staff. Prompt service. Nice selection of authentic Indian veggie options. Would definitely visit again.

Very good ambiance. Good choice of authentic tasting Indian food. Very good and prompt service. The food was very good. Would definitely go again if we are in the area.

away with 20 others on a golf trip and what a great find. staff and owners were very friendly and hospitable. everyone had a great meal across a wide variety of dishes at a very reasonable price. if visiting Hythe will definitely visit again

We were blown away by the food at Coppers, great flavours, different spices to the usual Bangladeshi style curries, and some lovely combinations. This was top class Indian cuisine obviously freshly prepared. I would highly recommend Coppers.

Food was delicious. Unfortunately our reservation coincided with that of a large group of about 30 noisy and increasingly drunken men. As they had all the menus, we had to wait 20 mins until they had finished ordering to order our drinks and food. And the two wait staff were overwhelmed by this crowd, so our service was slow. We advised not to host other diners when they have a large group reservation.

Food i got was nice. ordered meal deal said popodum and chutneys, but none arrived with my meal. so took money for things they did not deliver.

chicken dhansak was good rice was watery. onion bhajis tasty, however mint dip mango chutney and papadam were missing from meal. disappointed!

What a brilliant find.we came here for our 36th wedding anniversary and weren't disappointed The food is a carnival on the taste buds and is unlike any Indian style restaurant we have been to.The quality of the food is top drawer and the chef manages to bring out flavours from spices that we have not experienced before. Fabulous fusion dishes. Would recommend the south Indian curry and the lamb shank in particular. Service was excellent and value for money extremely good. Would thoroughly recommend coppers. Thank-you Sam and Sanjina for making our anniversary special.

Amazing ,mouth melting food. Must visit ..

An incredibly pleasant surprise! Dropped in for the first time following a recommendation by a friend and what a treat! Extremely friendly family atmosphere, authentic dishes and cool, contemporary decor. The multitude of stunning photos from all over India made me want to travel there! So many different dishes created with genuine interest to demonstrate real Indian food that I'll have to go back soon to try something else. I have been an Indian food fan since the mid-70s, I've lived in Birmingham for 9 years (during the establishment of the Balti Triangle) and have never come across such a refreshing approach to starters, mains and deserts (including an authentic mouth freshener)!

The coppers restaurant is absolutely divine. My partner surprised me by taking me here for a lovely meal out. The restaurant comes out on top of every restaurant I have been to including those in central london. The food is freshly cooked, the staff team are incredibly polite, the lighting is amazing and what really made my night was the gentleman playing songs on the piano and singing.

We were very impressed with this restaurant and it was our third visit The only disappointing thing was that the coffee machine wasn’t working again & this happened on our last 2 visits & they had no Bacardi

Excellent food was probably one of the best I’ve ever had

Great find and different from your usual Indian with a varied and different menu. The staff were happy to explain the dishes and adjust the spice if needed. The food was delicious and service was efficient . I can certainly recommend Coppers if you want a chance to taste some unusual dishes.

I visited Coppers with my daughter and it was a delightful experience from the beginning to the end. The bright and bold colours in the dining area, the beautiful flower wall and the well placed music really elevated our dining experience: this is undoubtedly a culinary experience for all of the senses! We opted to have the Meerut samosa chaat as our starter and the flavours were layered, authentic and delicious. The attention to detail from the staff in then bringing out our mains was also duly noted. We then had the Makhani chooze, peas jeera pulao and naan. Another tremendous party for the taste buds with an exquisite combination of flavours: all rightly memorable and enjoyable. The dessert we chose was Gulab Jamun and Ice Cream and this also hit the mark. The ambience in the restaurant was really lovely and the service was exceptional. We live far away from Coppers but this is truly a place worth driving to. Add Hythe on your visit list - purely for the benefit of enjoying Coppers - you won’t regret it! We will definitely be back.

An excellent Indian and very reasonably priced. And we've tried a few! Very good service and delicious food from all over India. My south Indian curry - Flavours out of this world 👌🏼👌🏼 Deserves to be full every night... Do support this place so it can survive.

I had an exceptional dining experience at the Coppers, celebrating my friend's birthday. The hospitality was outstanding, with attentive and friendly service that made the evening special. The mixed grill, featuring succulent lamb and chicken, was perfectly cooked. The standout dish, however, was the Sarsoon Machi, bursting with flavor. The garlic coriander naan was the ideal accompaniment. Highly recommended for a delightful meal and wonderful atmosphere!

Wow what a tasty curry . Everything was perfect . Loved the little nan breads . Definitely recommend.

Had an amazing meal this week at Coppers and amazing hospitality from Sam and his wife. The food is fresh, clean, not oily and not your usual menu. My husband had the New Delhi chicken curry and I had the lamb shank which was absolutely delicious tasting all the flavours of every spice. Same with the garlic & coriander naan and onion bhajis where we could taste every spice and not oily at all. If you want an authentic Indian meal and are in Hythe then this is a must visit.

Absolutely unbelievable meal and beautiful setting. Down from London on holiday, Coppers puts central London restaurants to shame. We’re vegan and the options were perfect - enough choice, but every dish unique. Service excellent, atmosphere lovely (smooth Blues all night) and prompt service without ever feeling rushed. Gorgeous decor. Can’t fault it. What a gem!

Superb Indian fusion cuisine at Great prices. Low key unassuming place with high ceilings and cosy ambiance. Food was amazing - had slow cooked lamb shank, tender and flavourful with hint of coriander in silky smooth tomato onion Rogan Josh curry (mild).

My first visit and it was absolutely stunning. The food was hot and tasted amazing with equal measure of ingredients as one didn't over power another. I was told it was Authentic Indian food and it definitely didn't disappoint as very different from your average Indian restaurant. I spent around £40 and didn't leave hungry which was a very good sign for me. I had king prawn dishes and so much taste. I'm looking forward to visiting again and having a look at the newer options on the menu as the owners refine it. Atmosphere was great live singer but you could still talk with out shouting so a plus for me. Spacious and airy so you're not sitting on top of each other again a big plus for me. Service was great as its all cooked fresh the timing of the courses too was good and didn't seem excessive. As it's cooked fresh I honestly would not have minded a little wait but again not a long wait at all. Chatted to the new owners telling me all about the new dishes they want to add to the menu so I'm looking forward to trying them over time. Over all a great evening and I'm still smiling. Thank you

Booked due to the amazing reputation this place has/had. Turns out it is under new ownership. The food here is a little different to your usual curry place. I'd say, more authentic and less anglicised maybe? Every dish was tasty, and the meat was good quality. Portions sizes were more than adequate. The staff were great. The owner (I think) spent time talking to us about the different dishes, and even bought some extras over between courses. Items he was trialling and hadn't quite made it to the menu yet. Massala Chai to end was really good. It was a Friday evening, and the place was really, really quiet, which is a shame and I hope business picks up for the owners.

It was our first time ordering and the food was wonderful! Will definitely be using again, fantastic tasting, lovely variety and very reasonably priced! We had the meal for 2 deal and there was plenty for us both. Would highly recommend.

very good tastes authentic amazing naan breads

Amazing Indian cuisine with perfect atmosphere. My favourite of all- Dahi puri ( must try ). I would also recommend Dalcha Lamb, It was perfectly cooked. Amazing and friendly staff. The piano artists is amazing too. He sets the vibe. Missing Indian Food ? I would say Run to Coppers.

We had an amazing time here. Great food. Amazing value. A1 service. Such lovely staff.

Very nice authentic cuisine. Recently returned from holidays in Rajasthan Food in Coppers is just as good

Amazing food and the setting is great. The new owners are lovely, will be returning as soon as we can!

Absolutely amazing food, great quick service, highly recommend

Great starters, mains and desserts. Particularly the achari paneer, chicken thighs, chicken choozey and dessert options.

This is one of the best Indian restaurant I’ve been to in Kent ,food was lovely, friendly staff ,would definitely recommend !

Extremely sloe service 1hr 45 for mains to arrive. Unapologetic staff who could have explained the delay instead of suggesting more drinks. If people take the time to sit in your restaurant then you should prioritise them above the people who cannot be bothered to do so.qnd instead order as takeout....back to Vinadon!

Very simple to review this place. Amazing food, hot, tasty and we'll presented. Service impeccable, drinks and food brought out promptly.... always on hand. They cleared and wiped down table. Excellent service. Defo Will come again. 100% recommended

Great place. Great food. Great service.

The food was very tasty and there was a good selection of dishes on the menu. However service was a bit poor on this occasion and we were waiting a long time to even get the poppodums and then to have our empty plates cleared. I will definitely come back as there is lot more on the menu I would like to try.

Booked a table Friday night based on strength of reviews but sadly we left disappointed. Quite liked the design and ambiance was a bit different but food was a big let down. Poppadoms came with mediocre dips, naan bread was very heavy and bland, curries were OK but nothing to rave about. I would not go back and on this occasion was disappointed by the strength of tripsdvisor positive reviews.

Fantastic, authentic and unique culinary experience.

Do not be deceived by the exterior of the restaurant which is fairly tatty. The food and service was excellent. The only improvements would be a better selection of non alcoholic drinks and a dessert menu.

We had an absolutely outstanding meal at Coppers. The menu is somewhat different to the usual Indian restaurant so we were intrigued. OH started with Katori Chaat - which turned out to be a cold starter. If he’d realised that in advance, he probably wouldn’t have ordered it - but that first mouthful and he was absolutely bowled over. Stunning starter. I had the Old Delhi aloo tikki chaat, which was warm and well-spiced and really, really tasty. Mains of chicken curry and Dalcga gosht were fabulous, accompanied by Basmati rice and apricot and ginger naan. Sound weird? Tasted divine; a hint of sweetness in the mouth that perfectly accompanied the wonderful spices. We did have the poppadums at the beginning - and even those were different…. Pieces of large poppadum along with small fluffy individual ones, served with mouth watering - and slightly differently spiced - condiments. Yum. Good range of drinks. Great service - with a special shout out to the young man who was working only his second shift and was spot on in all that he did. Would we go again? Definitely.

Really good, authentic Indian food and great service!

Went with the family on Saturday night. Serves excellent Indian food with some wonderful and innovative dishes. Highly recommended.

Really lovely restaurant, super friendly staff, fantastic food, nice unusual bottled beer (not Kingfisher or Cobra!) nice atmosphere, efficient friendly knowledgeable waiting staff and we had a pianist playing on Saturday evening who was great, it really added to it. If you're looking to go for a curry in Hythe, don't bother looking anywhere else, just get in here and enjoy!

This is an absolut gem and a gate to one of the best culinary experiences of Indian food I have had in the UK. The co-owner was incredibly friendly, offering us also drinks off menu when we asked for it (sweet and salty lassi), the dishes have an incredible range and variety of tastes.

I visited this place with my friend for his birthday. They arranged a beautiful surprise for him. The food was so very delicious. Lovely people and we surely will visit again. Highly recommended :)

An excellent Indian restaurant specialising in the cuisine of the Punjab. Every dish was beautifully cooked and presented, displaying the range of flavours associated with this part of India. Combined with pleasant and informed service and live music, a 5 star evening.

I likes it. Nice restaurant good food.

Good and authentic Indian food. Tasty and worth the money.

Delicious food and varied options for both vegans and meat eaters, brilliant staff and great overall experience.

Really lovely restaurant: very tasty and interesting dishes, a great vibe and the best customer service. Added to which, I left my sunglasses behind and the owner very kindly went out of their way to post them to me. Will definitely visit again if I’m ever back in Hythe. Thoroughly recommend.

This was hands down the best Indian food we have ever had. The staff was wonderful and the food was out of this world! It's a 2 hour trip from us but we are going to be back! Also live music, the pianist on the Saturday night, oh my god!! Amazing!!

A decent selection of vegan dishes for non meat eating members of our group.

I love Indian cuisine and was pleasantly surprised at how great the dishes were which were dishes I haven’t found at any other indian restaurant. Definitely recommend but don’t expect to find typical dishes but instead discover tastier alternatives!!

I thought West London had good curry houses, Coppers was over and above the best. The flavours were exceptional, the presentation good, the menu very interesting and reasonably priced. Well done Chef! Could you open a branch in West Coker, Somerset?

Have eaten here before a year or so ago, and the standard of food has not dropped one bit! It is not your usual curry house in that its very quirky, big hall type place with funky decor and pictures with Blues music playing instead of the traditional style indian music - at one point a man jumped on the piano and played beautifully for an hour it was awesome evening wth my wife, Incredible food and lovely staff. If it's your first time going here you could think you're in the wrong place when you turn up and that its big and empty especially if you go early but don't DONT turn around as you will miss out on one hell of a curry end off. I bumped into a couple outside who were in there also and we were talking and laughing as they did not know what to expect when they first turned up but said the same awesome food and lovely evening and wil be back as will we.

Walked in on a Friday night. Beautifully decorated and furnished and lovely atmosphere, with Blues playing on the stereo. Tables well spread out making it very spacious. Excellent and swift service. The menu is unlike any other Indian restaurant with very few of the familiar dishes. However, the array of dishes was very enticing. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, with even a few amuse bouche between courses. Wonderfully tender chicken and lamb dishes with beautiful spicing. If you’re in Hythe, please give it a go. You won’t be disappointed

The food was absolutely delicious. I particularly enjoyed the aubergine dish - very tender, best I've had! The service and live piano music were also excellent. Great atmosphere, highly recommend!

Excellent service. Best authentic Indian food ever had. We were a party of 6 and everyone of us thought it was excellent. What a gem just wish we lived nearer.

We visited the restaurant in Hythe and were very pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. We loved the location upstairs which is very comfortable and nicely appointed. The food was very different from the norm. It was all beautifully cooked and presented and so flavoursome with some really different dishes. We decided to have 3 starters each so we could try lots of different things and that worked out perfectly for us. Saurabh was an excellent host and as we had gone early it was quiet enough for us to have an interesting chat with him. All in all a lovely experience.

When we got the menu I was lost, nothing that you expect from a ‘British’ Indian restaurant. The owner talked us through the dishes and we ended up with a more traditional Indian experience, I would highly recommend a visit

Went based on a recommendation - not your typical Indian or Asian restaurant for sure - visually an interesting layout and ambience. The pianist was a turn up and very good and the staff were very attentive, answered all questions and service was really good. Compared to other restaurants of late it was good value for sure especially the lovely Shiraz they served. The food is different for sure especially in look and style and the small complimentary tasters in between courses a really nice touch. Our starters were great, but our lamb mains were a bit thick and like a hearty stew rather than an attack on the senses or pallet. Would recommend though and would return

If you like a hot hot curry this is the place to go, sadly I don’t and I couldn’t get anything mild at all. I found the place very dated needs a complete refurbishment , there were cobwebs in the light above my table . I won’t be back because I didn’t like the fact I couldn’t get anything mild and it looked a bit dirty to me . As for the staff I don’t think they were in the slightest bit interested in their customers. Wont be back.

The staff was incredible and so nice. The food was so nice I wanted a another three course meal. I really enjoyed my night.

We enjoyed a really delicious meal, definitely a cut above your traditional Indian restaurant. The menu is really interesting with lots of choice and unusual dishes using fresh ingredients sourced locally. Great service and atmosphere, with contemporary decor. Would thoroughly recommend.

A wonderful meal. So tasty and delicately flavoured. Service was good and the piano playing great. Will definitely be back!

Lovely staff, very attentive. Food lovely and spicy, less choice for fussy eaters but my 9 year old was happy with the recommended mild dish. The entrance is unassuming but just head up the stairs to the restaurant. The live piano was an added highlight.

Had my birthday meal here recently and really enjoyed the food (quite spicy). Not a lot of choice for fussy eaters like my 9 yr old but she managed with the recommended mild dish. All accompaniments were cooked beautiful and tasted amazing. Well worth a visit and another highlight was the live piano playing. When you walk in the doors, just head up the stairs as I wasn't quite sure we were in the right place as it was so quiet at first.

Welcoming and friendly restaurant with delicious Indian food. Table arrangements is really good and decoration is pleasant. They had live music with someone playing the piano on Saturday night. Would visit again.
