Only discovered the Empress of India recently. Whole family love it and it’s our go to takeaway now. House full of fussy eaters and it ticks the box for everyone.

Food is great but your online order system is clunky and not user friendly. Always try to avoid using Uber eats but Uber eats is much easier

Excellent food. A little slow from the kitchen.

There used to be an Indian takeaway round 15 years ago, where Ripe cafe is now that was awesome. They closed and disappeared. Haven’t had Indian that good since. Until tonight. Awesome. Will recommend to friends and fam!

We celebrated my sons first birthday at the Empress. The food was great and the staff super friendly and co operative. My guest really appreciated the food. But I truly want to mention the restaurant manager Neha. She was exceptionally flexible and went out of her way to make sure each and every detail for the party was executed with the most precision. She and her staff stayed back and helped us with the decorations the night before the party and stayed on after the party to help us wrap up! Did I mention the food was delicious too! The hara bhara kebabs and the Malai chicken tikka was a crowd favourite! Thank you Neha and team Empress for helping us have such a great event!

The online ordering process for the $15 meal deal was a bit strange. I chose a lamb roganjosh and was then also prompted to add a vegetarian option to the order. I was not able to continue to the checkout before I had selected all options, so I chose malai kofta and then the rice. All of these items also appeared on my receipt. As it was my 1st time ordering from you I wasn't aware if this was an error or if I would actually receive the malai kofta. I did not. So I think you should fix your website.

The lamb was a bit grisly and tough but the flavour was really nice. I love the saffron rice option. The butter chicken was really good. Great heat for both dishes.

From a business perspective, the food is delicious, but you could afford to simply your website, some investment in technology software upgrades would really see this business grow.

The new website is vastly better. Well done.
