The Empress - (Near Hackney, london)

alyshia andrews Great venue! hired the upstairs function room for my husbands 40th- perfect size, decor, atmosphere. Great food- catered well to a guest with dietary requirements on the night. and very helpful welcoming staff Thank you for having us we will definitely be back for our next function.

Kevin Saint OMG THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST YET!! so Im i big original fan of the bros but not been in for a long time due to a location change and keto diet. So last night after a couple of drinks in the micro pub by them we decided to rediscover our love for this amazing restaurant/takeaway chain. I was simply blown away of how good this food was or did I just forget? Anyway the Beef Birria Brorrito was absolutely delicious, tender melt in your mouth beef, packed with flavours and them beautiful skin on fries! Plus some requested hot sauce which complimented the food perfectly. It was like food crack! I even bit my own finger trying cram it in my mouth! So I was thinking if we lose the rice from the bowl dishes it would be perfect for the keto diet! Well guess what theyve only gone and bloody done it as Ive seen on the website, just need to advertise it more it the shop boyz! Well done guys and thank you!! Ill be craving that Beef Birria all week but its the keto bowl next for me now. Ive also posted my original review in the photo gallery.

Iryna Sani Excellent food and service. The portions are enormous and the food itself is very well prepared and from the fresh ingredients. I have extremely sensitive stomach when the food is not perfectly fresh but I had no issues whatsoever after eating at the new noodle bar. Variety of dishes is also very good. Prices are more than reasonable.

Wol Webster Always good food here, staff lovely and friendly

Ana Maria D We went there on Monday and joined the quiz that was amazing and so much fun . The staff were so helpful and nice . We ordered some food and was so good. I discovered this place recently and Ill be back more often 100% recommended

Arianna Soares Shankeys never misses! I have been twice this year and would definitely say it is my top restaurant in 2025. The cauli cheese is out of this world! The service is also amazing with the staff being super attentive and always ensuring you are enjoying your meal. Prices are super reasonable and not overpriced even tho it is a small plates restaurant - which is super rare in London! The only thing I did not enjoy the last 2 times I have been are the potatoes- they don’t take my fancy but that is just a personal preference! I will be back soon!
