Coppers in Shepway

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.

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.

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.

Really fantastic 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!!

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

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

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.

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.

An unassuming entrance leads you upstairs to a very warm welcome and a nicely decorated restaurant with great music as background and a good atmosphere. The menu takes you away from your comfort zone but the food was excellent and nicely presented. You got a good choice of wine too that wasn’t overpriced. Total cost for meal for two with wine and beers and tip was £89. Can’t recommend highly enough. Go and enjoy

Having booked a table for a special family birthday meal, I took the majority of favourable reviews as a good sign and hoped some recent reviews expressing disappointment weren't what we had in store. I'm pleased to report that the food was outstanding with really...

We were so impressed with the amazing quality of our food - there were lots of authentic dishes on the menu to try, rather than the same old balti, korma, tikka masala, etc! And everything we ordered was delicious, flavoursome and clearly cooked from scratch....

Very large open dining room, was nicely busy and a good atmosphere. The owner/manager was very attentive and so enthusiastic about the menu. Totally worth a visit!

I read the reviews and although there were a couple of negative reviews, I decided to give it a try so I booked a table for myself, my husband and son. Sadly our experience wasn't great. We were very disappointed with the food and the...

We went to Coppers last night for a meal and on arrival we noticed how cold it was in the restaurant. A table of 6 that were sat down had upped and left because they were too cold and could not stay. We asked to...

Excellent food, not your standard Indian menu, Great ambience including a Pianist who was faultless. The staff were attentive and our meal time was relaxed. We stay at the Hythe Imperail every year to celebrate our wedding anniversary and Coppers will be on our list...

We had one of the best Indian meals ever at Coppers and received excellent service in this delightful restaurant. All the tables are well spaced out and the decor entertainingly quirky. If you are looking for a wonderful dining experience in Hythe, I couldn't praise...

If you want to eat fabulous Indian food, 5 star service from the staff, take your friends & family here! Such a memorable experience.. 3rd time going and it’s brilliant! Thanks Coppers!

Intreting entrance, up a stairs with family photos . Lovely room with vibrant wall photos. Menu certainly very different choises, which is intresting and suprising in such a small town. Good friendly service, food beautifully presented.

First visit here, a absolute gem hidden away. Great food, lovely potato basket thingy was amazing! Highly recommend and will definitely go again

This was our first visit to Coppers in almost 3 years, when we were big fans. I understand there has been a change of ownership in the meantime, but we were left disappointed by the menu. In the past there was great use of local...

WOW!!!!!! Absolutely fantastic food! As a lover of Indian and Asian food I would highly recommend this place. Outstanding!

We came here twice during our stay, on Monday and Thursday. The food was immaculate and the service was quick and friendly. Would 100% recommend to anyone who visits the area

We loved our time at Coppers, the food was unbelievable and the service was top notch: quick and friendly. Would 100% recommend, we came here twice in during our short stay.

A well-deserved five TA stars (blobs?) for the dinner we just had at Coppers. Every element of our meal was delicious. We shared the Old Delhi chicken curry and the Lamb Rogan Josh and enjoyed both dishes. A warm welcome and attentive service. We wish...

Wonderful food and service. A great deal of time and care taken offering different dishes for my son to eat, including changing things on the menu. We ate there twice in one week it was so good and will go back again the next time...

Every time I come to Coppers the food is always exquisite and delicious. Always greeted like family when I go in and welcomed with open arms. When I get home and warm up this delicious and wonderful gourmet dinner, it always makes me so happy...

We had the whole restaurant and everyone at coppers made us feel welcome and gave us great service. The food was amazing. Would recommend it if you have a special occasion and don’t want a big hall party … and want something more intimidate and...

Last minute decision to eat here, but glad we did. It’s a bit tucked away (it’s upstairs - it’s easy to miss the entrance), but worth seeking out. The staff were lovely and service was good. The food was one of the nicest Indian meals...

Went for a meal at coppers tonight and I must say it was amazing. Food was fantastic as was the service. Waiter was very helpful in helping me choose what food I wanted and I even tried goat for the first time. Highly recommend

Pour les amateurs de cuisine indienne, c'est vraiment un restaurant à ne pas louper ! A côté des classiques, un...

Just back from an outstanding meal, the most flavoursome curry I’ve ever had. Perfect amount of spices, tender lamb and chicken. Service was amazing, attentive, friendly and welcoming. Even provided a complimentary starter. If I could put 6 stars I would. Highly recommend a hidden...

Second visit to the outstanding restaurant. We marvelled over the delicious Smokey flavours of each dish. This is not your average Indian restaurant but a real dining experience. There are so many different dishes described beautifully in the menu, we can’t wait to return. The...

The best Indian restaurant ever in UK. Loved the food and the hospitality of the owner. Must try. Soul food

Great food and a helpful and wonderful staff. We felt very welcome. Everything from the tandoor was delicious as well as the Curry’s and the garlic and cheese naan we had. Please also try the rose from India, it is amazing.

Stunning food and phenomenal service, six stars out of five. Would recommend trying this restaurant if you can with out question. Fully catered for our culinary needs. We had a goat curry, a Delhi chicken and an aubergine curry. A plain naan and an apricot...

We took our friends here to celebrate a birthday. We booked based on the fantastic reviews it had. We weren’t disappointed. Grand room with plenty of space. Wonderful servers. The food was delicious. And a piano being played to top it all off!! We will...

We went to Coppers after having read many of the reviews on trip advisor which said that the restaurant was very good. We were late arriving due to traffic issues and phoned to warn them, they said it was not a problem as we had...

As the review before mine says if your idea of an Indian is basic this may not be for you. Lovely Onion Bhaji starter with a complimentary Lentil dish. Two lovely main courses of Chicken,Lemon Rice, with a fantastic Potato Dish. All food cooked lovely...

Don't turn up here expecting the usual 'curry house' menu. It is very different and much better. It is the best and most authentic 'Indian' food I have ever tasted in a restaurant. The service and the price were excellent too. Try it, you won't...

Beautiful high class Asian food, nothing more to say than just great tasting food, a real cut above the rest. Throughly enjoyed the meal, clean toilets and great music. Will definatly return.

Excellent food and service! On our stay in Hythe we visited Coppers, because of the good reviews on TripAdvisor! And it was really worth the visit! Food and service were absolutely excellent! The food was great and the service very friendly! We will come back...

An amazing meal - great flavours and service. The menu states that no artificial flavourings and colours are used - and the tastes are fresh and deep. Every aspect was fresh, tasty and different to previous experiences of Indian food. We really enjoyed the ‘village’...

The vast majority of 'Indian' restaurants in the UK are, in fact, Bangladeshi and they serve dishes that you'd never find in India... or Bangladesh, for that matter. So, it's a real treat to find a restaurant that serves authentic Indian food, and Coppers really...

Found by mistake and a well hidden gem. Super hospitality and great service.complimentary dish was served and very tasty. Good recommendations from our waiter who was really knowledgeable and attentive whilst not being in your face. Clear plates from all.

This Indian restaurant is just lovely. The outside looks pretty innocuous, but once you get inside what a lovely and unique interior! The food is fresh, delicious and totally authentic. We were only staying in Hythe for one night, but really want to return, just...

Great food chosen from an interesting menu - it was so difficult to choose just 2 options. What we had was delicious a obviously freshly cooked. Little extras between courses made it even better. Staff were friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend

We visited Coppers in Hythe recently and loved the ambience, the staff and the food. The food is not what I've been used to, and that's because it is authentic Indian and the owner took time to explain the dishes to us. Really tasty and...

Thanks to other positive recommendations we decided to give Coppers a try. We were not disappointed. Very interesting menu and very authentic Indian flavours.

Top notch Indian food, always perfect. Not as fast as some Indian restaurants and this quite simply proves how everything is made fresh. Always plenty staff on and pleasant service.

We eat out a lot and Indian cuisine is one of our favourites, so I don’t write this lightly when I say this is one of the best Indian restaurants We’ve been to. We were staying in Hythe for the night and a couple who...

Bavk to eat in this restaurant after nearly a year, and the food quality has never changed.... To me is one the best Indian restaurant in uk... The foods is fresh, high quality, great value... I would defenily pay more... The service always great from...

I came here here recently to Coppers bar and I must say I am blown away with the, service and the cooperation I was given while dining here. The food was quite something else, authentic and flavoursome. A lot of the food I had never...

I chose to take some friends to Coppers. We enjoyed attentive friendly service, along with superb Indian cuisine. Many of the dishes I had never tried before and so enjoyed sampling authentic food as opposed to 'bog-standard' options. I highly recommend this excellent restaurant to...

Easy to miss as above a pub. Really nice decor and friendly manager. Food was excellent and interesting. Not the usual menu you see in most curry houses and not your typical two lumps of meat in a bowl of slop! Highly recommended

I had dinner here with 6 friends after a meeting on Thursday. We were later than expected but this wasn’t treated as a problem. There were loads of vegan options all labelled vegan on a separate section of the menu. The options were interesting and...

Excellent food, service great, good wine, nice ambience. Food cooked to order and two amuse bouches served between courses.

Food was spot on, venue was impressive and service was very good. If you’re looking for authentic tasting Indian dishes then this is the place to go

This is the second time we have been here and they do not disappoint, food is truly fantastic, great service great atmosphere

What an amazing takeaway!!! I keep going back always and always. Coppers is the best place for take away! I will keep coming as the food is amazing and the service is outstanding. I love the owner, he is such an awesome guy. The food...

We were recommended Coppers by a local. It certainly didn’t disappoint. The owner/manager was super friendly and taught us all about Indian wine which was Smokey and complimented the meat dishes - it was called Soul Tree - the cab sav. Also sold lots of...

Delicious meal. Fresh, fragrant, hot, well presented and all dishes tasted completely different. Everyone was very attentive, especially the lovely Daisy, thank you, we’ll be back.

Delicious food, expertly prepared, with great attention to detail, excellent flavours and interesting options outside of standard offerings. Great value and lovely attentive staff. Beer and wine options also very good so all in a brilliant evening.

First time ordering from Coppers. Exceeded expectations in terms of the flavours of all the dishes. Loved the naan selection. Far more subtle offerings than the vast majority of Indian restaurants and a decent selection of veggie dishes. Great friendly service too.

First time in this restaurant , we have been searching for a decent Indian restaurant in Hythe for a while . Tonight we found it! Service was great, food was excellent, great flavours ,quality and choice . Lots of little extras that just added to...

Amazing food, ambience and staff as well, best Indian restaurant I came across in kent so far!!!! Must try 😋

Very tasty food , good service and fantastic value meal . Lovely setting , lots of choice , the owner gives advice on what to choose and the food is delicious . Well worth visiting when you are in Hythe

Having recently moved to the area, we decided to visit the closest restaurant to home and what a lovely surprise! The owner was waiting tables and made useful suggestions from a long and inviting menu. The food was absolutely delicious and was definitely not your...

Absolutely lovely! We booked for a family meal out to celebrate my husband’s birthday and weren’t disappointed. The vegan options were amazing….in fact all the dishes were!! Everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed their meal, and the service was also fantastic. Would definitely recommend.

What a find. On arrival to Hythe, we looked for places to eat and luckily stumbled across Coppers. The food was simply sensational and the staff were fantastic. The owner was very knowledgable and helped us with our food choices and they didn’t disappoint. The...

Really good Indian food and great atmosphere. Loved the food, decor and background music. An excellent find in tucked away in central Hythe

We had a wonderful meal - very tasty and authentic dishes. Fresh spices, amazing smells and took us back to our travelling days. Thank you - we will be back!

Second visit to this authentic restaurant it is like no other curry experience. The service is particularly outstanding and generous offering free delicious appetisers in between your courses. We had chilli prawns and potato basket (katori chat) both full of flavour (with the popadoms). We...

My husband and I ate here tonight and it was brilliant! I can't eat chilli due to a nasty reaction and the owner kindly cooked a separate meal for me, he said if he had 24 hours notice there would have been more choice for...

Unique menu, friendly service and very good food. Amuse bouche between courses was a lovely touch. We will be back!

Those who know me, will also know that I give away 5 stars rarely and having eaten at some of the best restaurants around the world, only write a review if there is something to say - it is better or worse than expected. I'm...

The menu here is relatively limited, which is a good sign. The food was excellent particularly the okra and baby aubergine dishes. there was a pianist (Saturday evening) which added to a good ambiance. The staff were very attentive.

We found Coppers to be warm and hospitable during our visit. Great food recommendations and exceptional customer service.

Through an inconspicuous doorway and upstairs into a very large but welcoming room. Decorated with dark pink and an array of Indian themed photographs . The menu is clear and extensive and we started with duck breast and crispy fried tilapia. An amuse bouche preceded...

We came to Hythe for my Birthday weekend. I chose this restaurant based on many 5 star reviews and certainly wasn't disappointed. There was such a lovely ambience, attentive staff and the food was delicious. The owner was also very present on the floor and...

Very colorful restaurant, loved the pictures, food and service were excellent, staff were very nice and friendly, and the pionist was very good.

Excellent menu and very peasant staff, was also quite a joy to hear one of the young members of staff having a bit of a practice on the piano. Food of a very good standard.

I have been with my family in Hythe over the weekend and we searched for a Indian restaurant. We have found Coppers!!! The most ELEGANT RESTAURANT we have tried and the BEST INDIAN FOOD we ever ate,. The atmosphere was amazing,the staff really nice and...

Dreadful experience. We ate nice starters and enjoyed our wine whilst enduring a really long wait for mains. Then the absolute failure of Covid adherence ruined our evening. We asked one waitress who visited our table with her mask below her chin if she could...

I couldn’t disagree more with the poor review left by kickbutowski. The manager was extremely helpful and the food was outstanding - arguably one of the best curries I’ve had. The portions were generous and the lamb was very tender and fat and gristle free....

what a horrible experience ..with being rude on the phone to being straight face and unfriendly on arrival ..God.....this person who played all the roles of the waiter, manager was so unfriendly and almost rude ..I seriously don't know why ..the way he spoke was...

FLAWLESS! Love this little gem in Hythe! Staff are friendly and attentive with a relaxed atmosphere and the food is phenomenal and worth every penny! Frequently come to coppers because there’s nowhere else quite like it! Cannot recommend enough!

Was amazing to be back at my favourite Indian restaurant!! The food was out of this world as always with mini appetisers in between courses. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The perfect girls date night I wouldn’t go anywhere else!! You must try...

We had a vouchers for Coppers as a Christmas present, and asked some friends to join us, on May 26th. We had a really wonderful meal, and very nice friendly service. My husband actually said it was the best curry he'd ever had, and he...

Excellent meal full of flavours without heat. Good choice , good service. Shame it was virtually empty but it was a Wednesday and not sure many have ventured out since lockdown. Ideal place to start as plenty of room between tables. Hope to see it...
