Empire Kitchen in Fareham

My second time trying this place and the first time the flavours was amazing and the staff are very accommodating and it has been a positive experience and definitely recommend if you like authentic flavours.

Apart from the business looking quite enticing that’s all that’s good about this place. The food was absolutely dreadful. Cold and the meat was tough and to top that off they sent over the wrong drinks without explanation. In my opinion it was left over food thrown together and warmed up in the microwave.

For over 2 years I have been a customer of Empire Kitchen and every meal that has been prepared has been top quality, cooked great and tasted fantastic. They have a great variety of dishes on the menu which is great if you have a large family like mine and everyone fancies something a little different. Highly recommend.

great service and quick delivery lovely hot food.

Amazing food lived in Fareham 45 years never had Sutch great food. 5 stars are not enough. 5 star food hygiene aswell 100 percent the best .won't use anywhere elce

Wondering where the chicken is in the fried chicken burger. Are you actually taking the Mick? You need to change the description to schnitzel burger because that's how thin and non existent the chicken is.

Amazing food, great service, clean and amazing atmosphere. Best takeaway i have been too

Moved across town into the area recently and discovered this is our new local takeaway. Honestly blown away by it. Tried a curry, a grill box with spicy rice and a naan bread. Everything was incredible. Will definitely be going back. Would give more stars if I could.

Great food, good prices and huge portions.

Food always arrives hot and is so tasty! Portions are very generous. Our fav takeaway for Indian, wraps and burgers would 100% recommend

Hi guys First time ordering and was legit blown away. Arrived quick, not greasy at all and the portion size was immense. The order: Mixed kebab starter: juicy, good sized and well cooked. Chicken samosas: crisp and delicious Lamb rogan josh: I never ordered this as so many times what you get is bland or thin. This was legit stunning and probably nicest I've had. Restaurant quality, thick sauce and lamb was plentiful and not overcooked. Chicken Darjiling: chicken cooked perfectly, spicy but not too spicy. Sauce thick and again restaurant quality. Brinjal Bharji: stunning Mixed rice: couldn't fault. Keema naan: standard but if I had one complaint, is that it was slightly soggy. So overall this wad a stunning takeaway and restaurant quality! It's not the cheapest but you get what you pay for and the portion size was fantastic. I'm greedy and you'd easily feed 3 with the above and 4 if your a reasonable portioned unlike me 😀 Thank you for an amazing curry!

First time ordered chicken korma was the nicest one loads of chicken .portions were gd .hubby enjoyed his beef curry.excellent service

After six brilliant orders, I thought it's time to post a review... We've tried the Indian dishes, shakes, burgers, dirty fries and it has been spot on every time. We always order directly with them and pick up to get the discount, never had any issues. The standard has been consistently high and they have a top hygiene rating- if they keep it up, we won't be ordering takeouts anywhere else. Edit after 5 months - I wonder if standards are slipping... we ordered a chicken and a beef burger last weekend. No idea what's changed but they were soggy, in cheap tasting buns and just didn't taste as before. Chips didn't taste fresh either. The lamb doner wrap was ok but pretty bland. Will stick to their Indian dishes from now on.

In a word - sensational. When I first considered ordering from Empire Kitchen around a year ago now, I was a little apprehensive as it wasn't a 'pure Indian', it had a grill attached too. I needn't have worried. The curries here are like nothing else I have ever experienced, and Empire Kitchen quickly became my takeaway provider of choice, probably after the first mouthful. I'm not exactly sure why, but the food here is just SO flavourful. Perhaps a critic of Indian restaurants would have a simple or critical explanation for this - I simply do not care. I regularly frequent traditional Indian restaurants and for flavour, only the very best come close to EK. If I were to be placed on death row and given one last meal, a lamb madras, pilau rice, and a keema naan from Empire Kitchen would undoubtedly be my choice. If you ever get the privilege, the honour to do so, then please consider ordering from this gem of a food outlet. A credit to Fareham.

Don't normally like to give bad reviews but ordered here because of the good reviews on a Sunday night, spent £50 and honestly was awful, ordered a spicy sag which wasn't spicy and really greasy, a vindaloo which had really dry chicken, a chef special curry which was so greasy and a biryani which was bland , wish I took photos but really not good

Awesome family, once they have fed you, they treat you as one of their own, always pleased to see you return.

I have ordered food from here plenty of times. The food is delicious and always arrives hot. The customer service is amazing.

Second time trying and we've found our new favourite takeaway! The whole chicken, hot flavour is amazing recommend that 100%

New favorite takeaway will 100% be ordering again, Imran & staff are all lovely and polite. the dirty fries slapppppppp

Damn nice food, very impressed, lovely staff.

Amazing food! Best in the area, highly recommend. The menu is great because there is something for everyone! Thank you x

Unbelievable food, and the staff are polite, will 100% be ordering from here again, thankyou all at Empire Kitchen 👍🤝

Excellent tasty food, the best Indian food ever tasted. Generous portions. Good service and reasonably priced. Definitely Recomnend

Just had my 3rd takeaway from E.K and was as good as the first 2 the wife and I have 6 different dishes all very good , would recommend this to anyone best Indian takeaway I have had, great job chiefs

Great food, always good quality. Speedy and friendly service. Great value for money.

Great staff very friendly and great food

Tried here for first time tonight and went and picked up delivery and got 10% off got back home and wow ……absolutely beautiful Indian food with huge portion sizes and very well priced too . Best Indian I’ve been to in a long time value for money and very very tasty too . Will be back again !!

First time ordering from Empire Kitchen .. can’t wait to get another one . Food was excellent and piping hot when delivered . Thank you ! First class food & service

Ordered at 830. By 1030 no food so phoned the restaurant. Was given the run around and told it would be with me soon. Waited another hour so cancelled the order. They still tried to deliver 45 mins after that. Because its Deliveroo policy of delivery is attempted there is no refund. Had I have been made to wait at a restaurant that length of time I would have walked out. The staff on the phone were extremely rude. And refused me a refund. I’ve since taken Deliveroo to small claims court and got my money back. Avoid these guys. Much bttter service from other take outs. 1/10 overall. I’m not joking.

Ordered a take out. Took nearly 3 hours to arrive. Instead of giving me a refund I got a bunch of abuse instead. Refused a refund despite being made to wait 3 hours. I don’t even accept the food! Had to go through hoops to get my refund. Go elsewhere for far better service.

good food, well cooked, clean presentation, authentic meal.

I have been eating Bangladesh/ Indian food for over 60 years. It's very difficult to find a good takeaway these days! Most use a new style of cooking using very few spices and different style of gravy .! Not boiling chickens for stock. The dishes I've had from this takeaway are meat bhuna ( don't be worried when you see meat on the menu. It's normally mutton which in my opinion when cooked properly is very tender and tasty ) also chicken curry. I used to eat vindaloo but these days I prefer medium. Nice Rice and Nann bread. Worth a visit

I believe in Honesty So when it's Advertised as a WHOLE GRILLED CHICKEN That's what you should get Well on New year, returning from a flight from Lapland we decided to try this takeaway We recieved two boxes containing a thigh and a leg. I phoned and said we ordered a whole chicken 🐔 They said that's how it comes ???? Well I'm confused as its not what is Advertised on the menu So please check before you order. Adding to this to chips where dry and the chicken was scarcely on the bone. So not a place for us again. JASON

I used to use this takeaway when it was the Tiffin Glad it has changed owners I have been eating Bangladesh dishes for over 60 years I must say the dishes I've had from this takeaway has been some of the best tasting dishes I've had anywhere in the last few years. Worth a try. My favourite is meat bhuna. They use lovely tender well cooked mutton for this dish. Lovely tasting gravy . Also nice chicken curry.

Watery. How are all your curries so watery???

Delicious food. The lamb curry my hubby had was so tender. Will order again.

Excellent service and food is amazing with rewards for regular customers !!

Best Indian I have had in along time

Best tasting curry I've had for years.Plenty of meat too.

Lovely peri peri chicken but the King prawn madras was way to hot!!!! I love a bit of heat but this WAS a vindaloo it was way to hot for me and I could not eat it!!!! Won’t order again as I asked about how hot there madras was and apparently it was medium I feel like I was stitched up!!! This isn’t my first rodeo with curry’s lol 😂 sorry you have lost my custom

Like another reviewer we moved from London around 14 years ago. Would you believe it's taken this long to find a curry house as good, if not better than the ones we used to enjoy. Finally! Food was A1. Thankyou 🙏

Great food , have used these guys several times.

Great food, very generous portions and good value. Looking forward to trying something different on my next visit.

Outstanding food, delivery was quick, food arrived hot. Plenty of flavour on the food, dirty fries could easily feed two people, it's good to see a decent size portion of dirty fries full loaded, nothing was skimpt on my order. Well worth the money. Delivery driver was very friendly and arrived with a smile. Will definitely be back again that's for sure!

The best part of this experience was the delivery, the onion Bhaji felt like they were heated through and very chewy. The chews Nan bread lost heat quickly and folded over with the cheese melted in between and not in the bread it’s self also very chewy and the lamb was not tender but chewy and tuff. Not a good experience at all.

Great customer service, freshly cooked!

Tried it for the first time, being Indian from London, I haven’t found something that hits the spot. Until today. I cannot fault the food, tried the vegan jalfrezi and omg, it was a surprise and delicious 😊

We have just discovered EK and love it. Food is very tasty and fresh

Just wanted to say I ordered a curry empire kitchen and it was so lovely and yummy and the best one had in ages and it came on time too well done everyone 😀

Very nice food, delivery was professional and friendly. Would definitely recommend

Tried this take away for the first time today. Really tasty well presented food would definitely recommend and we will be back - regularly 😋

Best burger in the UK. 100% recommended! Manhattan burger is a must try!!

Great food . Had a problem with the order that they resolved with a hasty delivery. After problem was resolved I received a phone call with a sincere apology and the offer of a voucher. The fact the owner is bothered enough to phone me to apologise tells me everything I need to know about this resteraunt. Just a great service.

Great food, fast service, I had the minced beef dirty fries and the Manhattan burger and it was delicious!

first time we've ordered from here since it was Tiffin .. all I can say is wow!! Incredible authentic Indian food !! Some of the best I've ever eaten (and I've been to India ) .. Best Indian takeaway I've ever had

Excellent piri piri wraps, something we were missing since moving to the area. Friendly staff and fair prices.

This is now my third time ordering and the food is bloody delicious!! Before ordering here I never really used to get Indian food but now I’m obsessed!! And so far have ordered here for every cheeky takeaway night since it opened😬. 10/10 recommend

Definitely somewhere I will be recommending to friends and family.
