Indian Empire in North Somerset

Only half my order turned up and was cold

Very disappointed with the delivery time. I placed the order at 3pm with the idea to get food on time and even though the delivery was 50min late. Rang the restaurant twice but no one picked up the phone. Food was good though.

First time ordering from here my normal one was closed. Was a bit late but when it arrived, I have to say the food was so nice I will definitely be going back. The favours were great and received a free side dish :)

Best food I’ve had in a very long time in Portishead !! Highly recommend

Ordered a chicken madras and it was absolutely amazing, best curry round this area.

Really nice best curry I’ve had for a while definitely be back for more 👍

Absolutely fantastic food. Have now visited twice with a friend and each time didn’t disappoint

Really great tasting food. Consistently good

Food took over an hour not a problem rang up to chase it and got told on its way 20 mins later not turn when it does naan bread was cold and two chewy and rest was lukewarm

Consistently great food and very friendly service. Lovely staff led by a wonderful restaurant owner. Always very polite and helpful. Thank you very much!

95 minutes to delivery, but it was New Year's Eve. However, food was great and onion bahjis a real highlight.

Lovely food highly recommended

lovely curry will be back! thank you!!

Food all tasted the same. Was due 6-6.20 and arrived at 7pm

My order was meant to be here by 7.35 latest, but after many phone calls my order arrived at 8.55 and all the food was cold and very rubbery. Will not be ordering from there again

Fabulous service Authentic dishes to many to mention To suit all tastes freshly cooked plus Vegetarian BYO beer and Wine no corkage Great prices

I had an amazing takeaway from here loved it all such good portions and the Bombay potatoes where the best I've ever tasted

A very large menu that gives you all sorts of meal choices. Very friendly and polite staff. Definitely worth the money and not over expensive

We love Indian Empire. The food is always fantastic, takeaway or eating in. The staff are always friendly and helpful.

This is by far one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve been to! I’m vegetarian and their vegetarian menu is amazing and full of variety, all of the food is so fresh and prepared by chefs who know how to cook south Asian food well. The food looked and tasted delicious, I took so many lovely photos for my Instagram and enjoyed my time dining here, I’ll definitely be back:). 🤩 I recommend this restaurant to everyone I talk to, especially fellow Indians who are struggling to find authentic desi food in Bristol!

Really good Huge portion, very tasty, fresh, good service Best in Portishead Highly recommended.

Beautiful lamb dish. Best Indian around.

Unfortunately the great reviews before me did not apply, the food was bland, and just ok, the sag paneer was good and the tarka dall, the special korma and other dish very bland tasteless cubes of chicken, the Naan was horrid very doughy and under cooked, like bad pizza dough !

What a disappointment. One of the worst Indian meals we've had. Starters were OK, but the main meals were awful. My jalfrezi was swimming in oil, tasted sweet with no spices or jalfrezi flavours - almost as if the meat was precooked with onions, and some peppers, chillies and hersb were added to it later, or potentially it was defrosted. My friends chicken dish was similar - no spices or flavours. We ended up eating our naan bread, which was quite nice. No one checked whether we were OK. When clearing the tables, we said to the waiter that the meal wasn't nice. He ignored it, and looked away - not even an apology.

Came here for an early evening meal as the ratings were very good - and it was brilliant. I was the first in but by 6 o’clock more and more people came in. I had to go out to get my beer to have with the meal as they don’t provide alcohol. I ordered papadums and then trout and sag bhaji with some chapatis which came out within 20 minutes and tasted excellent plus was a good amount too. The cost came to £25 which is very good value indeed. Fully recommend.

OMG, our first visit, best indian takeaway we've ever had. One on it's own, different flavours from any other takeaway. Can't wait for another. Thank you. X

Very poor experience overall. Not even an apology when the food finally arrived. It was so late I’d long since made other arrangements for dinner

food is delicious, good quality and feels like a clean curry. Would definitely order again. Many thanks

Decent food, but seemed like the order status was gamed as the app claimed delivery commenced 45 minutes before the food turned up and that was after an initial delay to the original order time

From out of town pick here to eat and wasn’t disappointed excellent food and service

Really enjoyed the meal at Indian Empire. Mains were excellent, a little different from your bog-standard menu in a very positive way. Well done Chef and team. BYO makes the night cheaper which is an additional bonus.

Had a truly delicious take away yesterday. Sometimes take aways can be hit and miss but I only have great things to say about Indian Empire. The food itself - amazing, the portion sizes - really good, the service upon collection - really warm and friendly. When an Indian Takeaway is done right there isn’t much better food on the market, and The Indian Empire definitely does it exceptionally well. Go and support your local businesses, you won’t regret eating there!

A very welcoming friendly restaurant, wonderful staff and delicious food

Really nice food, very good portions, friendly people and relaxed atmosphere. Recommend and will return!

They got my order wrong but the food taste was devine

Amazing addition to Portishead! I don't normally love spicy food and have never been able to enjoy a meal in an Indian restaurant because of that - this has changed now that I've found Indian Empire! The food is great and super fresh. We had starters, Tikka masala and the restaurant special korma (and the spice level was tailored to our request!!). I have tried several Indian restaurants before, but this is no ordinary Indian restaurant. Staff were lovely made us feel special. The environment was calm in a Friday evening. Good price and good portions (we even took some food home). The cleanliness was good as well, including toilets.

Curry time. Apart from these little buggers, little green chillies, the meal, well Shami with egg, cooked fresh. Lots of chicken with salad. The mains were cooked to order. Lots of veg with the meal. Taste and smell the nagra, No rush place. Fresh naan. Families, kids and friends from town. Really enjoyed.

The food was really nice, we all had different dishes off the menu - 6 of us were very happy.

Amazing. Fresh. Authentic. Friendly. Professional. We loved it.

Food was amazing! cooked to requested spice level and so tasty. Service was really personal and nice, did take a little time but only because was cooked from scratch, definitely worth the wait. Never really enjoyed indian before but I am definitely coming back and trying everything on this menu!

Fantastic experience! Possibly my favorite Indian food experience ever. All food was cooked to order and it was so rich and flavorful. The space is very comfortable, the staff is extremely kind. Genuinely enjoyed Indian Empire.

Amazing flavours, definitely the freshest ingredients, one of best Indian meals we've had

Had a great meal, really delicious food, one of the best Indian restaurants we’ve been to. Would highly recommend- just remember to take your own alcohol.

food was hot and the taste was amazing will be ordering again

This is the second time we have ordered from here. Hands down one of the best curries we have ever had. Definitely the best place to order from in portishead. The portions are just the right size, prices are on par with the quality of the food. The sag aloo is out of this world. I would definitely recommend ordering from here.

Excellent tasty food. Will order again.

Very good and welcoming staff, 10/10

Very friendly staff who make you feel very welcome, combined with the excellent food make for a great experience

Best curry we have had in Portishead.

Excellent food, great vegetarian options. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Bring your own alcohol.

Food was not good, last time also it was not good.

Went for a meal in this lovely new restaurant. Wow, it was superb. The food was plentiful and very well cooked. The service was brilliant. Defo be coming again soon.

Very good, thank you very much delicious

Beautiful food best butter chicken I ever tasted

Food is fresh, delicious and arrives promptly 👌 5* on that alone but staff are all so lovely so that makes it 7* ❤️ Novice to spicy food so having it hotter every time, chef has not disappointed yet and don't think he will 👌👍❤️

had a takeaway, food was amazing, drink was amazing, will definitely be my go to from now on!

First time here and would definitely recommend this restaurant. The food was amazing, plentiful (Set meal for 2) and affordable. The server was fantastic and friendly. He even stopped long enough to tell us a bit about the food and where it originated from

Un edible. It is the worst Indian about. Two mouthful’s and straight in the bin. There was more bits in it than the garden path. I’ve never tasted anything quite like it. The rice was ok but for the price I could of bought 25 packets of uncle bens

Biriyani was tasty.worth for the price.

Top notch restaurant with outstanding food. Wonderful flavours in all the dishes we ordered from a very extensive menu, which includes lobster and scallops. Very good service too. Our first visit definitely won't be our last. Go!

Takeaway, collected on Friday. Lovely staff, timed to the minute. Food was excellent Many choices off the standard fare, especially fish and vegetarian options. Will be my go-to from now on

Amazing service. Perfect food. Definitely recommend

Fantastic food yet again, thank you so much

One of the best Indian meals to be had in Portishead. Fresh and tasty ingredients and delicious flavours. But what made it extra special are the friendly and engaging staff. Highly recommended!

Amazing food &friendly staff! Definitely recommend.

Best restaurant in Portishead in my opinion, home made food and great service for a fair price. They open recently, make sure to try if you are in Portishead.

Delicious food, a good selection on the menu, walked in and was seated right away. Everyones food came out piping hot and all together. Great taste, great price. Will be going again.

Quite disappointed seeing other reviews being so good, food bland and lacked other components, won’t be trying again

Food was delicious, the bowls that it was served in were fantastic….. would definitely recommend and will be coming back ♥️

Really lovely Indian food, big portions full of flavour

they appeared on just eat so I ordered ,the food was very nice, however when they came to drop off the food the driver said my house was to far from them so they wouldn't deliver again, basically don't order in future. if that is the case don't show clevedon as a delivery area if it can't be done....

Amazing food and quality service

Very large choice, really tasty food, friendly service. Also bring BYOB means the cost is very reasonable. Another excellent option in Portishead

best Indian food in UK with good prices!! Recommend.

Worst lamb shank I’ve ever had/seen. Not cooked anywhere near long enough and was just a bundle of inedible fat. Awful.

Came to portishead for work and I can honestly say this place has the best curry’s I’ve had anywhere else, Top tier. Lamb china was fire

wow wow wow best Indian takeaway food, first time ordering from here & will now be our go to, fresh lovely tasty food, arrive piping hot, free delivery, well packaged. can't wait for our next time 😋

Food was great and we will definitely order again, just disappointed we received the wrong condiment

Excellent meal! I'm very very impressed and I will order again for sure.

Decent food, plenty of meat as well. Would’ve liked chips to be on the menu, but not a major

I chose this Indian due to best delivery time. I was informed there was a delay at the time my delivery was due, but then it kept changing. I called and was told they were outside my house, they weren’t. I then had to call multiple times & they clearly hadn’t even left. When it finally arrived, food was excessively oily and the poppadoms were stale. I gave opportunity to rectify by requesting a part refund via just eat, but restaurant refused this, so felt no choice but to leave this review.

good quality and fast delivery *****

First time ordering from Indian Empire, the food was lovely and not greasy at all, very tasty and the chicken was beautifully tender. Exceeded our expectations, definitely would recommend! I look forward to coming for a sit down meal especially as it’s BYO!

Never seen such an extensive menu ! fabulous food, great service, very friendly and attentive staff. Will become our regular especially as its BYO !

The best local authentic takeout Indian food we've had in a long time. Order was a little late but we were given complimentary soft drinks. Really hope this place stays!

All I can say really that I was sorely disappointed and never got the chance to eat here. I booked a table over the phone which was confirmed and then about an hour before was left a message that they would have to cancel as they had overbooked! When I phoned to query nothing could be done. Needless to say I won’t be trying again and would be wary that they will cancel our booking again even if we tried.

Good restaurant, authentic Indian food. Good atmosphere

A great meal last night - We all enjoyed it! A vast menu of choice, washed down with some BYO drinks. Staff where spot on. We will be back.

Congratulations to all the team at Indian Empire, first class service ,food and ambience.

Delicious food and friendly staff. Good value for money and large portions. Highly recommend

Visited for the first time last night after hearing great things. We were not disappointed. The team are lovely and it feels personal. They will amend dishes if you like things a certain way and talk to you about them. It was a full house with one huge table all of course wanting to be served together, they managed this really well. Our food was exceptional, generous portions, piping hot and full of flavour. BYO is another bonus and they bring you ice cold glasses for your drinks. Highly recommend.

Excellent service, amazing food brilliant value for money will be returning and would definately recommend, they offer a free delivery service when ordering direct

Wow what Can I say. Ate at all restaurants and takeaways locally and can honestly say this is the best food I have eaten. Looks and tastes like authentic Indian Food. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Would defo recommend and return.

Excellent food coupled with great service. Staff members were welcoming, professional and very kind.

Good food and great value would definitely recommend

A big shoutout to this indipendent family business. The food was cooked to perfection. It was my husbands birthday and they made it extra special for him. I have tried Indian food everywhere in Portishead but none compared to the standards here. Would defineatly go again.

We are load of curry enthusiasts, and we all agreed this place has set a new level of quality in town. All of the dishes we had were good, but one or two outstanding. The food is served in very attractive pottery bowls, and the portions are very generous. My only criticism is that (as in most Indian restaurants) the Menu is (in my opinion) far too big, so it’s hard to choose. This could be remedied by having some classics by all means, but perhaps a small section of say 6 “House Specials”- all cooked individually and not using generic sauces. It’s also a BYO so keeps the cost very reasonable.

Just had an incredible meal. Staff were fantastic, owners really friendly and welcoming. The food was fantastic, huge portions incredibly tasty and very reasonably priced. Would recommend to anyone. BYO a big plus with chilled glasses and bottle openers provided.

Highly recommended. Very good food, and great service. Brilliant value for money. You won’t be disappointed.

Best curry house in Portishead. Brilliant service and every dish was excellent
