I had a good experience here. The food was excellent and the atmosphere is decent without being spectacular. Especially recommend the Dhaka Murphy!

Me and my hubby went Empress we where greeted at the door and taken to table of our choice 🙏🏼 all the the workers greeted us while we where setter ☺️ we where then given the choice to order drinks when where ready and staff asked if we would like poppadom and how many we the orders starter while we ate poppadoms with different sources and sides that where provided.. Starter was presented very well it's the first time I've ever seen well presented food in a Indian/Bengali restaurant which I was very pleased with 🙈 when then ordered our main while eating our started ❤️ the main was very tasty with all the flavour on point with each bite ❤️ the only down side was the curry where a little hot but that was our fault for not asking for the spice not to be less then what it says it will be .. The staffs where very friendly and checked on us frequently and communicated about different topics which was very nice of them 🙊 over we had an amazing experience at empress and it's a must for people wanting to eat Indian/Bengali food ❤️
Simply put, one of the best Indian meals I've ever had. Food was beautiful. Staff were friendly and attentive. Well priced also. Having eaten in many Indian restaurants in Glasgow, I'm afraid to say that the London Docklands have really set the bat high!
Very cosy restaurant near Aldgate. Very attentive and friendly staff. Ordered lamb special which was very tasty. My colleagues food looked as nice too and everyone seemed happy.
This place was right down the street from my hostel and it is by far the BEST Indian food I've ever had. If I am ever in London again I will make a stop especially for this place. Wonderful friendly service as well. This might just be my death row meal. Go here!
PS I have attached a photo but I unfortunately forget the name of the dish. It was spicy and incredible
Stopped in while visiting London from America. We wanted to get some curry while we were here because we had heard it's done really well in the UK. We were not disappointed. The Empress is a small but excellent place. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was excellent. We enjoyed everything we had. We would certainly return!
It was an exquisite experience. The food was very delicious, place and atmosphere are cozy, staff was very kind. If you consider to try Indian cuisine, I absolutely recommend this place 👍🏻
Amazing food and amazing service couldn’t ask for a better local restaurant. I was so pleased with the food I had the crab cox which is a soft shell crab it was amazing. My friends had items consisting of Biryani, tandoori and some vegetarian dishes everyone loved what they had. The naan bread is the best I have ever had. Couldn’t recommend this place more. Celebrating every birthday here from now on!
It was my first day in London, and we decided to go to this restaurant, and it was the best first day in London ever. The employee made my first day really special and the workers are so nice ~~
It has brilliant food, the chicken and lamb curry is the best I've ever tasted. Tanduri chicken and the lamb tikka was soft and tender, perfect for your dinner ~~
Biscuits with mango and another sauce, plus some spicy sauce and onion thingy was also served, and they tasted absolutely fantastic.
The workers are fun to talk to and even offered to pack the leftover food (which we sadly counldn't because we are staying at a hostel).
This is definitely a restaurant I would recommend, with the best workers and the best food. Make sure to drop your way in on your trip to London ~~ and give it a five star rating ~~
