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!

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!

This was the best food we had in London including a dinner that we spent over $200 on. I have no idea how this place has a lower rating than the Indian restaurant next door to it as we tried both. There is no comparison. Too bad this is our last day in London or else we would be back.

Everyone knows the best Indian food on the planet is in the UK, and as an American foodie who has lived in the UK for nearly 25 years and in India for a few years as well, I can assure you that this Bangladeshi restaurant on Leman Street is the best you will find anywhere. Fantastic food and excellent personal service. I’ve been here many times and will keep coming back!
