Spice India
Athlone
21/12/2025: Poor customer service, quality of food is bad.. No proper wash area.
20/12/2025: I had a disappointing experience with customer service at Spice India Athlone while placing a takeaway order.
Once the customer in front of me was served, my presence at the counter was completely ignored. When I was about to place my order, the lady at the takeaway counter abruptly said “one minute” and immediately started taking a phone order, without any eye contact, acknowledgement, or polite request to wait. I would like to clearly state that I was not expecting her to attend to me before the phone order. I was absolutely ready to wait. However, there is a proper and respectful way staff should communicate this to a customer who is standing in the queue. A simple gesture, smile, or polite request would have been enough.
The restaurant was not busy at the time (around 6 pm), so there was no justification for this dismissive behaviour. Instead, I was made to feel ignored and unwelcome.
Only when another staff member stepped in was my order finally taken. I would like to specifically mention that the male staff member who assisted me was friendly, polite, and professional. His behaviour clearly showed that good customer service is possible at this establishment.
While the food itself was acceptable, the customer service experience was not.

The Silver Oak
Athlone
10/11/2025: The food is presented beautifully and cooked with care and skill. I found the staff to be very friendly and attentive. I order the Silver Oak Tandoori mixed platter and it was worth it, with different types of meat that had warm spices and melted in your mouth. I also got the Masala chai as I craved a hot drink while it was raining outside and you could taste all the fresh spices like cardamom, ginger and black pepper. A lovely dining experience.

The Silver Oak
Mullingar
21/12/2025: Delivery took 2 hours and 26 minutes, called the restaurant twice. The first call they said the driver will be there in 5 minutes, it was a further 50 minutes before he arrived.
19/10/2025: Unfortunately, I had a very unpleasant experience at Silver Oak in Mullingar. The customer service was awful – not because of the waitresses, who were polite and friendly, but because of the man standing behind the counter (I think it was the takeaway section).
When we entered, he rudely waved his hand at us to move further inside, without a word. A nice waitress then approached us and led us to a small table in the corner. We had sat there before and knew it was very uncomfortable, so since there was only one other group in the restaurant, we politely asked if we could sit at another table. After a moment’s thought, the waitress agreed.
However, as soon as we sat down, that same man rushed over — a rather rude, balding man of Indian appearance — and asked sharply how many people we were. When we said “two”, he pointed at the small corner table and said, “That one. This is a table for four, that one is for two.”
I asked again if we could sit at the bigger table, and he repeated the same thing in a very unpleasant tone.
We decided to leave.
Just a few steps away, we went into another restaurant where the difference in attitude was striking — the waitress greeted us with a big smile and said we could sit anywhere we liked.
It was supposed to be a belated birthday dinner for my friend, whom I rarely see, and this experience really spoiled the evening for me. I definitely won’t be going back to Silver Oak again — thankfully, Mullingar has plenty of much friendlier places to choose from.

Copper Spice
Kinnegad
21/01/2025: Bit disappointed, I ordered from the copper spice and arrived and it’s closed up?
You get your Indian from Apache pizza.
Buttered chicken was watery with dry chicken.
We also got a burger meal from apache which was good.
It’s okay but if you’re looking for a good Indian don’t bother.
