Although I clearly mentioned in the instruction that the food should have proper salt and be medium spiced, but it was really very sweet and felt like having a dessert.

Realmente disfrutamos de nuestra comida para llevar que habíamos entregado el viernes acaba de desaparecer. El paneer como un lado era absolutamente precioso y felizmente tendría un par de ellos en lugar del plato principal. El precio es realmente muy competitivo también. El único problema fue que, a pesar de haber pedido por adelantado a la mitad del día un tiempo de entrega de 20:20 a 20:30, no apareció hasta las 21:30. Dicho esto, les daré otra oportunidad y, con un poco de suerte, aparecerá de manera más oportuna.

Tenía una entrega para llevar desde aquí a nuestro regreso de vacaciones. Esta fue la primera vez que hemos utilizado este lugar, estaba un poco preocupado ya que los precios eran bastante bajos. Llegó a tiempo, era muy sabroso y abundante (lo suficiente para mañana :)). Sin duda este nuevo uso lejos currybtake!

Masala Empire have become our go-to Indian takeaway and I'm particularly fond of their chicken tikka masala. We did find that the sauce was a bit watery, but otherwise the meal was up to their usual standard. Good size portions.

Was a little frustrated that the restaurant added an additional 15 minutes to the delivery time after ordering. However saying that the delivery arrived early so it was all ok in the end. Food was lovely, big pieces of chicken and very tasty and flavoursome, a tiny bit greesy on the jalfrezi but nothing horrendous. Will definitely be ordering again from here.

I was a bit skeptical after seeing reviews saying it was taking around 2 hours to get food that was then cold but after ordering I had absolutely no problem! It stated it would be delivered at 7:35 and it came at 7:37 which was only 40 minutes delivery time over to st mellons. The food was piping hot the chips were still perfectly fine and the both curries we ordered were absolutely gorgeous. The delivery driver was also nice and polite. Would definitely order again

Meal delivered on time and hot. Naans were lovely. Order regularly from this place and the curries are usually really nice but this time, despite being tasty, all dishes were INCREDIBLY oily. There was half an inch of oil on top of mine and I had to take the chicken out as I couldn't eat the sauce. Really hope this was a one-off as I like this take-away so will give them another chance.

The food turned up nearly an hour late and the chips were cold. ut thing that annoyed me most was when I rang to ask where the food was I was told that the delivery man had only left 5 minutes ago! This was 35 minutes late and then the man called me "love"!! I hate being called love - he didn't apologise and then he patronized me and then the food was cold. Never again!

My partner and I are regular customers, and have spent hundreds and hundreds of pounds of our hard earned money on orders from Masala Empire. The experience we have had tonight has been beyond belief, and I am absolutely insulted that the restaurant manager made no effort whatsoever to retain us as regulars, despite knowing exactly who we were. Food just didn't come. it just never ever materialised. After two phone calls to the restaurant, we were initially told on the first phone call when the food was half an hour late that the food had been dispatched 5-10 minutes ago. Obviously I was very patient, but it doesn't take that long to get from Broadway to Rumney. We were offered an insulting 10% discount on our order during the second phone call which we held on loudspeaker. I could hear the restaurant manager farting about with his phone the entire time. That was when I lost interest, and stated that we would refuse the order if it came to the door. he didn't even say goodbye, just hung up the phone. RUDE. I've got no patience for timewasters, I expect a level of service, and I have high standards. if I could give this review a 0, I flipping well would. Get your act together, Masala Empire. It is a MONDAY evening, there are no events on in town.

Food took almost 2 hours to arrive. When it turned up the popadoms were completely crushed and soggy. The food would have been very tasty , however it was cold and thus not enjoyable. I usually order from this place quite regularly and there is a slight delay in food getting to me (usually an extra 10 minutes or so) - an extra hour however, is unacceptable. When I rang them they said the food was 10 minutes away - still took an additional 40 minutes and no apologies/gestures of good will to say sorry.

The food here was delicious! Service was fast and the staff are very friendly, I had the chicken kufti to start which was amazing, then chicken tikka masala with a naan bread for main. I couldn’t recommend it enough! The place itself is fairly small so would recommend booking in advance via their website or by ringing ahead. You can also get takeaway and it was very busy which must be a good sign!
