We came in and ordered our food and the food was good but the service we had wasn't great at all. They were hanging around waiting for us to finish out meal and started to remove plates before we had finished. We will not be going

Great service, great food, absolutely nothing to complain

Straight away, the waiter took the drinks order, and great to know they had stella on the menu. Poppadoms were next, and a first for me was the coconut powder instead of your normal lime pickle. The powder on a poppadom was very nice and went well with the other condiments. Onion bhaji next (4 small ) and then we had our main meals which came out in good time and they tasted extremely nice. I would highly recommend the Kalia curry. It had a nice wet sauce with chunky onions and a lovely kick to it. Keema rice, garlic naan, mushroom bhaji, and sag aloo to finish the meal off (with an extra beer, I might add). I couldn't fault the food or the atmosphere, but it was difficult to get the staffs attention at times as there was a group of 20(ish), and they spent most of the time with them. Even when we asked for the bill, we had to ask three different waiters as the others shrugged us off and walked away. However, when they did come to our table, they were friendly, helpful, and polite. I wouldn't let it put me off going again (if I'm ever back in Cardiff) as the food made up for it. Great evening, with great food and company.

Amazing meal, very fresh and tasty. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend. The chicken for the starter and curries was very tender. The pilau rice was gorgeous ?

This is still the best authentic curry restaurant in Cardiff. The service is excellent the staff are always professional and friendly. The discount on the takeaway is very generous. I always visit at least once a week for a takeaway. I highly recommend the Empire. Mr James

Had a great Friday night with the boys was on dry January so just water for me but heard the icy cold pint glass matched with a lovely crisp cobra was a winner. Curry had great taste with onion bhajis and lemon rice WOW
