The Empress Indian - (Near Tower Hamlets, london)

5 /5 Rico Razzo: Best curry in the area hands down. Proper depth of flavour in a pretty authentic Balti king prawn. Like properly rich and thick and luscious and brilliant. Bustling and friendly service in a small space (don’t take your cat) full of Christmas cheer. Heartily recommended.

1 /5 Prabhjot kaur: If I could give zero stars, I absolutely would. The experience was extremely disappointing and upsetting. The staff clearly treated customers differently based on their skin color. Some guests were served with warmth, respect, and prompt attention, while we were treated as if we didn’t matter.

5 /5 b b: Passed this restaurant on last visit to London and chatted briefly with the owner who was preparing menu outside (but we had already just eaten). From that moment his passion and good nature was evident so we decided to try it on our next visit. The food, atmosphere and same owners passion and attention didnt disappoint. Well worth a visit. I had the Shepards Pie. Amazing

5 /5 Gwyneth Armour: A delicious meal, and the service is even better. I have dietary restrictions that make it hard to eat at an Indian restaurant. They catered to my restrictions, and we had a delicious meal. A must-visit for Whitechapel

5 /5 Brett Skipper: Stopped in while visiting London from America. We wanted to get some curry while we were here because we had heard its done really well in the UK. We were not disappointed. The Empress is a small but excellent place. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was excellent. We enjoyed everything we had. We would certainly return!
