The Empress of India in Melton

Order was late, the prawns were shrivelled and burnt and not worth the price paid for them, the garlic naan had some unidentified green substance on them, the heat of the rice and butter chicken was lukewarm warm at best.

Absolutely delicious as always! Thank you so much!

Really lovely curry, very pleasantly surprised! Will definitely use again.

The best Indian i have ever had

We were told our order was correct - I asked my husband to check as previously we were given the wrong food- today 3 naan bread missing. Food is great but you don’t always get what you order in our experience sadly.

The first delivery was cold due to a crash . Great customer service he called apologised 20 mins later the whole order arrived again steaming hot . Good food . Fantastic service

Delivery guy was rude, incoherent and I think expected me to walk to the front of my apartment block to get the order rather than buzz my number and walk the corridor to my flat

The food came on time. Thats all that was good about it. Over priced for potion size. Onion bhaji were cold ans stale. The mains were dry and very sub standard flavour. All in all very disappointing

Wont be recommending this one. Bahji's burnt, sauces had no flavour. Food pretty awful and really greasy. Waste of £25.

the food was restaurant quality, delicious rich and tasty. but delivered to us here. I'll definitely use them again!! great meal for 5 of us.

cooked and spiced too perfection as normal 👍

Best Indian food I have tried so far.

I have visited this restaurant and ordered occasional takeaway food over the years. This restaurant just seems to get better & better. We even booked for Christmas Day 2023 for a change from the usual. It was excellent, staff and food top notch- great value for money too. I’ll definitely be back.

Food was very good and delivery was on time. Delivery driver was very friendly. Will definitely be ordering from here again.

Absolutely fantastic as usual. Best Indian restaurant in the area.

The most awful food, lacked in spice, taste and heat. The keema nan was inedible!! Soggy and awful texture. We had a Rogan Josh and Balti curry, neither were tasty and just had no flavour!! You need to talk to the chefs. Someone isn't doing there job. We will not be returning!!

Delicious as always! Delivery time is exceptionally good and food is always piping hot! Best Indian restaurant in melton!

honest opinion not the best, naan bread big enough for a toddler, mango chutney tasted like I don't even know what, mint yogurt was pure white and did not taste like a normal lime green mint yog! about 4 pieces or chicken so dry too! sorry but never again! heard good reviews and expected decent food!

Tasty, hot food and delivery was very polite and friendly.

The food is always good, on time and the drivers are always friendly and polite.

lovely food and really hot deluvery earlier then said x

Great food as always and super fast delivery!

Always order from here when staying at eye Kettleby lakes and food has always been amazing, this order wasn’t unfortunately. Was very oily and salty and the poppadoms were chewy. We didn’t enjoy it and most went in the bin sadly.

Best restaurant of it's kind. Miles above everyone else. Thanks for the lovely food!

Had a family meal a couple of nights ago. Fantastic food, made and delivered in great time. Dishes were still so piping hot when delivered. Will be using again

Our favourite take away.. food is delicious and it’s always delivered in good time by friendly people!.. couldn’t recommend highly enough!

Great meal Chicken Tikka Madras and Keema Rice were wonderful.

Exceptional food and such friendly staff too!

Very nice food and delivered on time

Consistently the best in the area.

Adequate but no better. Very oily tikka biriani was an underwhelming experience. Maybe I ordered badly, and I will try again.

Really tasty food and good service. The music was very loud and a little distracting but we enjoyed our meal at a good price.

Always a good experience here, food is amazing and service is polite and efficient!

Absolutely delicious food, so glad we tried a take out from here. We have been trying to find a good curry and now we have one that is much better than good! Can highly recommend and the delivery man is always super friendly

Fantastic food. Great Ahloo Ghobi and paneee was divine. Very reasonably priced too. Service was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals as a family. The staff were attentive without being fussy. Every meal was delicious and the Nan breads were delicious.

Absolutely perfect. Booked online & from the minute we arrived until the minute we left, everything was faultless. Food was amazing & reasonably priced. Service was exceptional. Not crammed in like sardines & not rushed out to get the next people in. Spotlessly clean too. Very lucky to have this restaurant with a friendly long term owner close by.

The portion sizes are very small for the price compared to another Indian that we used to use before we moved. The flavours were quite bland which is a shame but cooked to perfection so can’t fault that just would like a bit more for the money.

Absolutely delicious. Well prepared, full of different spices & flavours.

First time using The Empress of India and was very impressed with the quality of food. All fresh ingredients and very tasty. Only downside for me was that I thought the Naan breads could have been slightly larger. The delivery time said 1 and a half hours and they delivered bang on time 1 and a half hours. It was my first time with them and I did feel it was a long time to wait, but worth waiting for (it was a Friday evening after all) Recommended!

Asked for a delivery at 17:55 - was advised delivery would be 18:10- food arrived 18:35 - no apology from the person delivering. Food is the best locally but delivery timings are consistently dreadful- we have never had a delivery on time. Today the food was superb but we were one popadom short.

the guys always do well. great food. great delivery... but the best bit, the delivery guys are just great, lovely blokes and super polite.

Great food arrived hot very polite delivery as always.

the food was lovely, but it arrived cold. also one of my orders the Narm Bread wasn't the right one what I ordered online and the delivery was late

Food was hot and very tasty . delivery was on time and driver was very polite. Will deffo use again .

I have been trying to find an Indian restaurant since curry hut in melton mowbray closed and I think I have just found it 😋 food was excellent hot and tasty only thing I found was the chips were a little over cooked for my liking would definitely recommend 👏👍

Normally bang on but this time things were missing and the naan bread was literally half the size mini naan

Fantastic food as always, and generous portions. Delivered hot, & early which was great! Thank you Empress!! Happy New Year :)

Excellent quality food and delivery service. Thank you

Delicious as always. Highly recommended

Food quality was absolutely impeccable as always and the delivery driver was courteous and friendly. I love Empress of India.

Second time ordering from The Empress of India. Food delivered on time and was very good. Very impressed and will be using them again.

Always brilliant food, and the collection time was earlier than predicted. Amazing service, always swift and friendly...always come from behind the counter to open the door.

Amazing food as always. Only marked down as they missed one of the curries. That said, they immediately put it right. First class service. Best in the local area!

Delicious food, delivered on time.

Lovely takeaway, food was hot and very tasty. Could have been a bigger portion for the price paid for the madras curry. Thanks guys. I will be back.

Only half a container of curry, stale poppadoms and undercooked naan

Had the phone the returant to find out where the food was. Also the food on my order was not correct.

Food arrived cold, no lamb in madras, shame as always heard good things.

Food was great and so was driver, just running a tad late but we were informed.

Arrived hot and good as usual just 30 min late. That’s happened a few times now 30 min late seems average.

Good quality food as always delivered on time and piping hot. Would highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be ordering again.

Wow, amazing food. Top notch x

Thoughly enjoyed. Very tasty. I will always order from Empress of India. Well done Guys.

Excellent food. Priced for the quality but always worth it.

Delicious food, hot & delivered on time. Many thanks.

Absolutely fantastic, excellent quality, generous portions. We can’t wait to eat it in. Highly recommended.

Have previously had a few sit down meals at Empress Of India so decided to give home delivery a go this time, food was great quality as always and delivery right on time. Will certainly be ordering again soon

Food piping hot and on time. Delicious as always, highly recommend

Monk machari was tasteless and lamb bhuna had a bone in and no bhuna sauce as normal.ordered for my birthday and let down by a usually high standard restaurant

Order for 6:40 delivery, according to the app it was on time.. 7:15 and still not arrived, this has always been my preferred takeaway but probably not in the future.. Turned up at 7:20 and it's only luke warm... Not happy

First time ordering from here in a long time. Beats any in town......by a long way.

Always a good meal,hot and tasty.highly recommend this restaurant. 5stars.

Delivered early which was fine! The food was as expected - we are always pleased with the quality.

Absolutely fantastic. Highly recommended. It was amazing. Thank you

Food great but delivery 15 minutes early normally would be okay but we were on the way back so specifically asked for a certain time

Thoroughly enjoyed the food we ordered

Delicious! A really well cooked meal. Highly recommended.

Always fantastic service and fabulous food

Perfect, and the 10% off encouraged us to buy a little more so we could share with an unexpected guest. 😁

Excellent food. Always hot and tasty. Recommended.👍

Excellent as ever, best in the area

Food was brilliant not as hot as I’d like but understandable given the distance overall great service great food

Absolutely hands down the best pasanda and peshawari naan in town

All enjoyed your food and piping hot 👍

Exceptional service and delivery to our holiday pod. Food delicious beyond expectation. Highly recommended

Delicious meal. One of the rice sides was missing, but they were quick to refund. Would definitely eat from here again.

Great food and service - as usual.

They also called me as my delivery time was near to their closing time and wanted to make sure that was ok. Food was superb as always and great service.

Lovely food and really appreciate the service

Amazing food and very friendly staff!

Delivery person is always friendly and the food is always delicious!! Thank you so much!

I didn’t mind the 10 minutes late the quality of the food was worth it

Amazing food, tasty, hot, not dry like the other restaurants - very good!
