Great food. It was one of my first time going out to a Indian restaurant and I did not disappoint . The staff was really friendly and attentive , the food was more than good. We will definitely visit again .

One of the worst Indian restaurants I’ve ever been to in my life. - Staff are chaotic and have no organisation skills. They shout over your head while you’re eating. - Staff are rude - Hygiene levels are crazy. Rubbing their hair/head then touching glasses and plates - Fingers in food when they’re bring it over to your table. - Food has no taste what so ever. It was shocking when the food enters your mouth, you can’t taste a single thing. - More a pub vibe with everyone shouting because of rugby. By far the worst restaurant I’ve ever been too. I would not recommend it or eat their again!

We arrived as a pre booked group to find the the establishment extremely busy The table that we were allocated was laid up with all the cutlery and chairs touching each other. On this basis we declined the table only to be told by the manager that he would move a goup of customers who were seated eating on a another larger table so that we could be accommodated more comfortably With this his only options offered we rescinded our booking. We as a group of local people have all eaten at the Empress on numerous occasions and we were returning again to enjoy their fabulous hospitality service and menu But for some reason tonight all the ingredients did not gel together

Food and service was okay. Terribly over charged. I believe Babul sensed we were from out of town. We ordered three dishes, onion bahi, garlic naan, two sides of rice, and one beer. £64. He quickly grabbed the bill. Fortunately I was able to catch a picture. I may call my credit card company.

Always good and very friendly to the jolly boys! We have been eating here for many years now with no problems ever. This also works out the best value per person than many others I have been to. Keep it up guys and see you soon.

A group of us friends from Maidstone, Kent. We randomly visit various types of restaurants on the last week of each month. This time it was "The Empress Of India". There were 6 of us this time on the 28th of August 2019. We had a fantastic welcoming by Mr. Babul, who is one of the owners, a really nice person, along with the rest of the staff. We asked Mr. Babul, to make us 6 mixed starters and 6 Main Dishes, with some side dishes and rice as well as naan breads. The food was FANTASTIC, service with a smile and Mr. Babul kept us all entertained. We all shared stories about our experiences in the Indian Restaurant, both as customers as well as workers and managements/owners. I would highly reccomend this restaurant to everone. It has a 10/10 from me.

Absolutely disgusted, waited 45 minutes inside after already waiting 40 minutes before heading down ordered on phone for collection. I understand it’s New Year’s Eve, I wouldn’t an issue waiting if my order was correct and the food was actually edible. My lamb was very chewy, made worse by forgetting items on my order. My partner went back and was given the rest of the order and told “lamb is very tough”. A regular customer now lost, given them the benefit of the doubt a few times as it’s been busy but will not be going back. £50 wasted.

Terrible experience. My family had booked a table for 5.30 on New Year’s Eve. About 10 mins after all sitting down, we were all moved to another table. It was extremely cramped and I was constantly being barged into by the waiters who were trying to squeeze through a tiny gap. We weren’t given any continuous service and had to make several attempts to get our drink order completed., and a long wait before we finally ordered our food. After 1hour and 30 mins our food started arriving. No complaints about the food which was good. However they tried overcharging us by a huge amount. We pointed this out and finally they knocked some money off, but we still paid too much. A member of our party was seriously overcharged on a previous occasion. We definitely won’t be going back. OVERCHARGED AND OVERCROWDED
