Dim lights, warm atmosphere.🕯️

There's something about low lighting that changes the whole mood of a meal. Conversations slow down, plates linger a little longer, and the evening starts to feel like it's meant to be enjoyed rather than rushed.

Pull up a chair and let the evening unfold. 🍽️

If you’re a fan of prawns with a bit of heat, the King Prawn Dishoom is one to try. 🍤🌶️

Whole king prawns are cooked in a specially prepared lemongrass sauce with a medium kick, then served over a bed of rice to soak up all those flavours.

Fresh, fragrant and with just enough spice to keep things interesting. 🍚🔥

Magic Mushrooms! 🍄‍🟫

Mushroom caps are filled with lamb, marinated in aromatic herbs, and served alongside a rich curry sauce. Simple in concept, but big on flavour, it's a starter that always sparks a bit of curiosity on the table.

There’s nothing better than seeing Empire filled with happy faces. ❤️

The buzz of conversations, dishes landing on tables and friends and family enjoying time together - it’s what makes a restaurant feel like a restaurant.

We’re here for the food, but it’s the atmosphere and the people who make every visit special. Come in, settle around the table and make yourself at home. 🍽️

The Dhansak! 🌶️

Slow-cooked lentils infused with aromatic spices come together to create a rich, fairly hot dish with that signature sweet and sour twist.

Warming, hearty, and packed with depth. This is one for those who love flavour with a little kick. 🥘
