After reading the good reviews, I had high expectation and ordered home delivery last night. How disappointing, the curries and briyani are too oily and testless, the briyani sauce (veg curry) was off, I could smell bad as soon as I opened the container. Only nan was just ok. This is the first time I just throw the food straight to the bin.
Everybody seems to have had nice meal at this restaurant but what happened? Was it just a bad luck? Whatever it is I will never order from this place again!
This is the best indian restaurant in the country. The food is superb and I have probably eaten there over 100 times. The owners and the staff are great. Try the shepards pie and the lamb sikendari and also nazakat for starters.
we live in a nearby block. This was the first time we had gone in there. We have always frequented red chilli or cirilo in the past (both very good esp cirilo). We went in mainly because they had stuck a note through our door saying we could have a discount. On arrival we enquired about the discount but it was not applied to our bill and since we had already found one other error on the bill and contested that, my boyfriend did not want to contest it. The main course food is very tasty and delicately flavoured, would say that the naan's are better in red chilli, the house white wine was not so great, chutney/pickle with the poppadums is ok but you get CHARGED for it. The ambience is a bit harsh, the lights are like you are in a shop, it would be nice if they had candles or such instead. Nice plates. Staff, good at recommending dishes, obviously not so attentive on other issues like billing as already discussed.
The best indian meal I've ever had. Simple as that.
One of the most memorable dining experiences I could think of was at The Empress. The food was extraordinary and staff's level of service was excellent.
The Empress serves traditional Indian food which is absolutely delicious! Some of the best I’ve ever had. The staff are fantastic too – I’ve recommended The Empress to everyone I know!
I had the best Indian food I have ever eaten at The Empress. And what can I say about the service at The Empress? Five star mate.
Empress is a really nice Indian restaurant. There is a lot of choice and some good veggie options. The staff are always polite and I don’t think I’ve had a bad meal at the Empress yet.
