This without doubt has been my husband's favourite takeaway for years, however I cannot agree. My meal was extremely disappointing and apart from the naan I wasted it.
My chicken tikka masala was very watery, the sauce dripped off the chicken and before I had removed the egg fried rice from the tray I saw how soggy it was, liquid came out of it making my naan bread soggy also. Would never have a takeaway from here again except for the peshwari naan which was one of the best. My husband will remain a customer though.

First and last time we’ll be ordering from here. We had a chicken dupiaza and rogan josh, both were just chicken and tomato in a thin sauce with no spice whatsoever. The rice was dry, the tandoori roti was so doughy and inedible, and the rest was just terrible. Would not recommend.

Ordered a number of starter items and 3 curries for a family meal. The food was fantastic really tasty and thoroughly enjoyed by all. I would highly recommend this takeaway and will be using again.

I can say without any doubt the worst curry I've ever had, chicken rogan josh was just chicken and tomato no curry whatsoever. The Roti was so doughy and virtually inedible. A terrible experience spoilt my meal totally.

Don't waste your time or money on this place. I've had a few bad/mediocre Indian takeaways before but this one takes the spot for the worst.
My partner had a korma which I know is usually bland but this one had almost no flavour, as well as having the colour of a Thai green curry.

I had a madras which is usually my favourite curry yet this dish was disappointing in all aspects; the consistency was almost that of a ramen broth and the chicken seems like it was boiled far far away from any spice or seasoning. The madras also lacked flavour, I started to believe that I had contracted COVID-19 due to the lack of taste but my worries disappeared when I tasted the only flavoursome item that I ordered which was the lime pickle.

Judging by others reviews I thought that ordering from Empire Tandoori was a good idea but I was obviously mistaken, I'll just assume that today was an unusually bad day for the chef and that your food is usually delicious.

Excellent takeaway, nice food, good portions, nice friendly staff.

I don't know of any other takeaway in Derby that just makes curries. The benefits of a fine restaurant in the comfort of your own home.

I had a chicken saag, it tasted very bland, no flavouring. Pretty disappointed. I'm giving 2 stars for the chap serving who was very friendly. Will not order again
