The Empress - (Near Hackney, london)

Catherine Montoya Colorado Ive been here twice already, and each time was better than the last! Delicious food, and excellent value for money. I will continue to come back and make my way through the menu.

Jesper Chin Was a pleasant surprise to find a new Thai place had opened up near me and had to try it. Having just recently come back from Thailand, I must say the food was really up to standard. We got the ginger beef, the Thai omelette but the stand outs were the Pad Thai (struggle to find a good pad thai), Thai Fish cakes and the Mango sticky rice. The mango was ripe and incredibly juicy and naturally sweet - very glad to have ordered it despite being full. Muhammad the waiter was also incredibly attentive so very grateful to him. Will be back again.

Jack Routledge Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. I came here on a whim and left blown away. The highlight for me was the tandoori dumplings perfectly spiced, chargrilled to perfection, and honestly some of the best dumplings I’ve ever had, and that’s saying something after travelling around Asia. You rarely ever see tandoori dumplings on a menu, so this was a real treat. What really made the evening special was the hospitality. The owner, his brother, and even the chef took time to personally speak with me. They explained how the food was made, gave thoughtful recommendations, and made me feel genuinely welcome. You can tell they really care about what they do. Another big plus they let you bring your own alcohol, which is such a bonus and made the evening even more enjoyable. And to top it off, they’re open till 1am, which is perfect if you’re out late and want great food without rushing. I’ll definitely be coming back and bringing all my friends with me. This place is a hidden gem in Eltham.

charli-ann Dutton Very nice food and good value, I recommend the special grill here is a picture of it

Ada Pace Had my birthday lunch on Sunday, this was also a good occasion to try the Sunday roast. We choosed the sharing platter, it was absolutely delicious and very tasty, the portion is very generous and its hard to finish it. My son was happy with his fish and chips and chocolate brownie, part of the Kids menu. The staff approached us several times asking if everything was ok, showing great attention to the customer. They were also very kind in bringing me cake and singing happy birthday to me. I definetely recommend visiting this place!
