Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The food is very good. However it’s not the typical Indian flavors, more like an local interpretation. Don’t get me wrong, everything we had was great and we came out full. The service was amazing. Recommended!

Long time customer here. I’ve always loved eating at the Stars of India. No matter what kind of lockdown we face in Thurles, I regularly enjoy getting takeaway dinners to spoil myself when I can. I highly recommend the “Chef’s special Chicken” along with “Pilau...Rice” with a bottle of Cobra beer. If you’re feeling very cheeky, grab an “Onion Bhaji” starter and some “Peshwari Nan bread”. The staff are always super friendly and welcoming and know my order whenever they see my face coming through the door. Thanks again Jittu and Goalem for keeping me fed on the weekends! 😄🎉🔥More

We have always eaten here as the food has always been excellent. However with the onset of Covid we resorted to takeaways. Again the food has been excellent as always. However I would really like to compliment all the staff on the extraordinary effort they...have made to make it safe to collect food and their excellent customer service. We would highly recommend this restaurant not only for its food which is first class but also the service which us second to none.More

Myself and my girlfriend visited Stars of India this month. It was a last minute booking however we got a seat for 2. When we arrived, we seen a busy restaurant however it was clear to see they were understaffed and overbooked for the night...(even with Covid-19 restrictions). We sat and read the menus and our order wasn't taken for 25 minutes. We were then asked to move table and waited another 20 minutes before any food arrived. The starters were an Onion Bhaji and Pakora which tasted okay however they needed more sauce to accompany them as it was dry without any. The mains were lovely of mango chicken and tikka masala. We ordered a side of garlic naan bread which came burnt and was plain naan bread. The staff were too busy downstairs as they were understaffed, I went downstairs and complained and in fairness it was rectified. The overall experience was average. The waitress was lovely and felt sorry for her as she clearly needed help and the kitchen couldn't keep up with the amount of orders coming through due to the delays.More

We decided to have a takeaway meal this evening. It was delicious,tasty good quality meal. They added in a generous helping of poppadoms and a can of orange. 10% reduction for booking directly with them as opposed to using the Just Eat website. I would...recommend them and even though it was a 20 min drive away we would happily go back againMore

We visited Stars of India over the Christmas as part of a large group for the Christmas party they were throwing. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful all night. The food was absolutely fantastic, every bit of it, and the portion sizes were perfect,...nobody was left hungry. We all had plenty to eat and drink on the night and the food/drink coupled with the fantastic live music made it the best overall restaurant experience I’ve had in Thurles. Finally, the owner of the restaurant put a lot of effort into checking on us and chatting; and his enthusiasm and sense of humour was very refreshing. It’s one of the best restaurants I’ve been to and whether you’re ordering takeaway or decide to sit in, I cant recommend it any higher. By far the best Indian restaurant I’ve been to. Thanks again for a brilliant night.More

I have a wheat allergy, and have had no problems. The menu is clearly laid out with items that are gluten free clearly marked. I can't see why any dish on the menu shouldn't be suitable for your needs.
