About

Nina
Saturday 30 November 2024
Food was very disappointing, always ordered from here but will not be doing so again. Majority of it went in the bin. Totally lacked flavour.
The Empress Of India replied
Hi Nina I understand you mentioned lack of flavour however the 2 dishes you ordered Chicken Lozzoti the dish is light spice creamy cooked with butter . Sag paneer again is light spice with a hint of cream, if you like flavoursome dishes then you need to order dishes with no cream and sugar. Am sorry you felt like that please give us a call. I honestly don’t know what else to say

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.
The Empress Of India replied
Hi unidentified green substance is corriander
