Review by Dereck Wyman

I had a lovely dinner at Emperor of India! The butter chicken was rich and creamy, paired perfectly with giant basmati rice. 🥘

Their cheese garlic naan was a highlight - super garlicky and cheesy, though I wish it were a tad puffier.

The ambiance was casual and cozy, making it great for a relaxed evening. Fast service from friendly staff made the experience even better!

Can't wait to return and try their all-you-can-eat lunch buffet sometime! Highly recommend this spot for authentic Indian flavors! 🌟
