  “Just had a meal for my grandson's 30th birthday. There were 17 of us as well as other customers. The food was delicious and really good portions, so much so that a few of us have taken food home. The service was second to none and all the people who work there were very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend 👌”

  “Eaten here for nearly 30 years. Have tried others but nothing is quite as good. Succulent chicken, great flavours, and service to match.”

  “Long-established local curry house (since 1991 - wow) – this place has long been the best curry house in Sittingbourne. Been visiting here now for almost 18 years, consistently good. Firm favourite. Not sure if under new ownership or just having a refresh, but the place has recently undergone a rather dramatic internal refurbishment – out with the old pink carpet and in with a big leather bench, wooden slats on the walls and a more modern vibe. Change is a constant, but it remains very easy to fear. On first impressions the food remains as excellent as it always was, with the same menu remaining in place and the quality still high – the little things that keep the dishes warm on the table have gone though. The menu here is a big, offering wide latitude to customise your meal in a variety of different ways – there are many sides and the overall game is strong. Opted for a tandoori seekh kebab on this occasion, with a chicken tikka masala, a keema naan bread, mushroom rice, a couple of sides. All very good – big portions. The beer, of course, was Cobra. As it was and as it should be. Although once upon a time they did Mongoose, which was not Cobra, yet was also the beer. Overall, if you’re looking for a great curry, you can’t go wrong choosing this place – they do seem to do a good trade in big group bookings as well, as there is often one in. Definitely recommended.”

  “I had Onion Bhaji to start. Two large crispy balls, which I enjoyed. I had Karahi Chicken Tikka Dhansak for my main course. It wasn’t like a Dhansak as there were no visible lentils and tasted like a Tikka Masala to me. I’d choose something different next time. Garlic Rice was nice with large slices cloves.”

  “Food and service was okay. Terribly over charged. I believe Babul sensed we were from out of town. We ordered three dishes, onion bahi, garlic naan, two sides of rice, and one beer. £64. He quickly grabbed the bill. Fortunately I was able to catch a picture. I may call my credit card company.”

  “A group of us friends from Maidstone, Kent. We randomly visit various types of restaurants on the last week of each month. This time it was "The Empress Of India". There were 6 of us this time on the 28th of August 2019. We had a fantastic welcoming by Mr. Babul, who is one of the owners, a really nice person, along with the rest of the staff. We asked Mr. Babul, to make us 6 mixed starters and 6 Main Dishes, with some side dishes and rice as well as naan breads. The food was FANTASTIC, service with a smile and Mr. Babul kept us all entertained. We all shared stories about our experiences in the Indian Restaurant, both as customers as well as workers and managements/owners. I would highly reccomend this restaurant to everone. It has a 10/10 from me.”
