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.

Friendly efficient staff. The Indian dishes are delicious. The use of fresh veg is noticeable, I hope they keep it up! We ordered two full portions of Mix veg curry, one mild and one extra hot. Ordered half portions of the Sai Bhaji and Channa Masala. One rice between the two of us was enough, others may prefer more rice. All dishes were full of flavour. I look forward to returning, Limerick is lucky! Only thing I would add to the already top class menu is a gluten free naan.

I usually get takeaway and for €15 i get 2 meals. I can custom order vegan veg curry with chickpeas no problem all cooked fresh. The music played is perfect for the atmosphere. The staff are very cool and efficient. I must of ordered over 50 meals and never once dissapointed. Amazing selection of sarters too. Limerick is so lucky to have Copper and Spice. And situated alongside a river a great window view inside.

On the way from holiday yesterday we stopped off for lunch. Barman/waiter was a little abrupt but polite. Menu is excellent with a really good choice, service was good and the food was certainly worth waiting for. Atmosphere here is really good and the place is immaculate. We will definitely eat here again, lots of things on the menu that we would love to sample

Always loved the vegetable dishes here but was most disappointed with the biryani which mainly consisted of potatoes. Bring back all the nice fresh vegetables please and don't bulk it up on potatoes. Would have ordered a potato dish if I wanted potatoes but vegetable biryani should contain more vegetables than potato. Also disappointed to see you are charging for your poppadoms and dips when they are complimentary in any other Indian I done in. All said service very good though.

We put in an order at 6.45pm with a collection time of 7.45pm. Arrive to collect at 7.40 and still waiting at 8.22pm. I know in these strange times it is great to have our regular restaurant open but please don’t take orders when you know you are unlikely to be able to cope. It leads to bad experiences and bad reviews. Very frustrating for hungry customers who could have made alternative arrangements.

Fabulous ambience, efficient friendly staff but food was very disappointing. Fish pakoras were hard, dry and tasteless and gave the impression of being cooked long ago and kept in oven. Curry dishes were big on heat and low in flavour. Wont be going back again !

Have been going here for over a decade, the dining and takeaway are both superb. This is the best Indian restaurant in Ireland! The vegetarian dishes are particularly fantastic- we had Teen Dahl. Matar Panner. But the lovely a lovely lamb stew, one of the specials was gorgeous as well. Plus nice wine selection and perfectly done naans- extremely flavourful food, terrific service, lovely ambience, could not fault it in any way. Owners are lovely and charming- just the best experience, as always!!

I’ve eaten at quite a few Indian restaurants and always go for the vegetarian option. This restaurant had the freshest vegetables by far. An excellent variety of dishes to choose from and each was utterly glorious! Already planning my next visit back. Worth the hour and a half drive! Would be great to see gluten free naan on the menu.

Have been big customers of Copper and Spice in the last 14 years since moving to the area. Always a hit and this evening we ordered a large take away order. Every single thing was amazing. Yum! Fantastic consistency. A real treat

We are regular visitors to this restaurant. The quality of the food is second to none. We have noticed a dip in quality in other local establishments but not in Copper and Spice. We always get a wonderful welcome and the food is arguably the best Indian available in Ireland. Keep up the good work guys!

The food and friendly people at Cppper and Spice have become a regular part of our week... Whether eating in or takeaway, the food is always wonderful in its tasty and creative variety. And the service always makes the experience warm and pleasant. Like an extension of home.
And now, with the lockdown, the takeaway/delivery service continues that overall quality with efficient and friendly service.

I have reviewed Copper and Spice before and we are regular customers but this experience warrants another review. We had our daughter's communion today and from the get go the staff were totally professional. We needed to make a few adjustments and nothing was a problem. The food was exquisite. Thanks guys and keep up the good work!

Went with the family so had a big enough group with us, very pleased with the experience overall, I had the Lamb Saag which is a favourite and wasn’t disappointed. My wife went for the chicken vindaloo. And was very happy with that.
A bit pricey perhaps but the food is good, atmosphere is ok, but it’s all about the food and service

I ordered 2 full portions of makhana chicken for myself and my boyfriend for dinner. We both went to collect the food, when we were given half portions instead. This wasn’t a big deal to us as we would happily have waited for the correct order, however the man behind the counter serving us made it an extremely uncomfortable experience. He was rude and adamant that I had said half portions on the phone. Instead of admitting that there was a clear miscommunication, he insisted that we were wrong. When the order was rectified he appeared to have realised how rude he was being and apologised but the damage had been done. Sour taste in the mouth was not caused by the food!
