Emperor Of India

What a great find. The food was wonderful with authentic flavors; I loved the lamb curry and the samosas. The owner was so gracious and you can tell she takes great pride in what they do. The wine list was quite sparce, but she said they are working on it. Can't wait to go back.

Went here for the first time on Saturday. Not to be missed. Have been long waiting for an Indian restaurant in the Lyn-Lake area, and Emperor of India was well worth the wait. Decor is simplistic, with white cloth and red cloth napkins. They have a wonderful lunch buffet that seems quite the bargain, given the high quality food. On Saturday, I had the veggie samosas - perfect, lovely flavor, perfect crust. Also - we both enjoyed a glass of white wine - a wonderful Chardonnay and delicious Riesling. Wine menu is limited, but was amazed by the quality - and quite the bargain at six bucks a glass. I enjoyed something called Alu Baggan - egg plant and potatoes. This is a vegetarian's paradise, by the way. Tasty and fresh. I was pleased with everything, including the breads they make on site in their tandoori. We enjoyed one made of chick pea flour and caraway seeds with the best chutney I have ever tasted. Whoever is in the kitchen knows what they are doing. Please check this place out. The staff is eager to please and with seasoning, will be wonderful. It was a little warm inside, so please don't hesitate to suggest that they open up those wonderful windows. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Buffets are tough to get right but they do a great job here. Vegetables are often squishy at buffets but they're done perfectly at the Emperor with very good flavors. The spice levels are what you'd expect (mild) so you won't get blown away and you get a big basket of naan which is perfectly done. Flavors are legit and service is fantastic. 5/30/2017: Take out was freshly & quickly prepared w/ very nicely blended flavors. Portion sizes were on the large side. I noticed they have a lunch buffet at 11:30 on weekdays. I really hope they can make it in this location as others have been unsuccessful.

Just moved to the neighborhood and am so happy we found this place! My husband and I split the vegetarian ‘Dinner for Two’ special and I think we will have leftovers for about 3 days, it’s so much food. Everything is super tasty - I’d definitely recommend the veg simosa! If you’re looking for a good deal on amazing Indian food definitely check this place out!

The lunch buffet was phenomenal! I came in on a recommendation of a friend, and I'm excited to tell more people about this place. The palak paneer was outstanding, tandoori chicken was perfectly tender, and the mango lassi was very delicious. The location is awesome and the service was great-- the co-owner Farhana was very charming. The price was great for the amount of high quality food I managed to eat too. Can't wait to come back!
