Inventive Punjabi-leaning Indian with standout butter chicken, biryanis, and warm service in a compact, lively room—excellent food, premium pricing, and tight seating.
Empire Empire stands among the region's finest dining establishments through exceptional food quality—particularly the signature butter chicken and lamb shank biryani—paired with outstanding service warmth and attentiveness. Consistent execution across repeat visits reinforces its reputation as a neighborhood staple worth a special trip. Tight seating and premium pricing are minor trade-offs for genuinely personal hospitality and ingredient-led modern Punjabi cooking that exemplifies what makes Notting Hill dining exceptional.
One caveat: Space is tight; tables are close and can feel cramped during busy services
