Empire Empire in Kensington and Chelsea - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We had dinner recently at Empire Empire, which is a relatively recently opened restaurant in Notting Hill and part of the Gunpowder group. The menu is mainly northern indian with a few modern twists. The food is a hit and miss experience; the prawn amritsari pakoras and the king prawns kadhai masala were both very good, the lamb chops were fine but not anything special. The butter chicken and paneer makhani were quite bland; there was a mixed verdict from our group on the kale patta chaat. Also worth noting that the naan are quite small. Overall, we had a good meal, but this was mainly due to the hard work of the manager (who appeared to be running a solo show); we had a go on the jukebox which was fun. So, 3 stars for the food plus one for the staff!

Best Indian I’ve had yet in London. 😍 Love everything especially the kale starter, butter chicken, fish tiki, and must get the cheesecake dessert

A lovely Indian restaurant- cosy and authentic I would rate everything a 10/10 - my faves were the chicken tikka. Seek kebab, butter chicken, saag gosht, lamb biryani. Maybe less spring onion on raiita and a bit of pomegranate and I’d order another two. Drinks fab. Everything fab even though when it’s a full service they do need an extra staff as the two were very good but just managing. This is my fave new local!

Absolutely phenomenal Indian food with quirky but fun atmosphere. Service is outstanding and the food really is some of the best Indian I've had in London. Nothing over the top fancy; just good, solid flavors, fresh ingredients and high-quality cuts of meat. Do yourself a favor and try this restaurant. You'll thank me.

Nice new restaurant on All Saints Road, delicious Indian food and attentive service in a nice restaurant with a good vibe. We had a great time and will be back. (Recommend the lobster biryani and butter chicken- side of okra, excellent!)
