One of Cardiff's oldest established and most popular Indian restaurants, The Empire strikes a perfect balance between traditional Indian styles and a modern, cosmopolitan feel. This is also reflected in the cooking, where subtle spices are used to create bold, yet complex flavours. A popular dish is the ada lamb, which is cooked with yoghurt, ginger, coriander and other herbs and spices, but you might care to try chicken pakora or king prawns with garlic and spices. The wine list offers a carefully chosen selection that will complement your meal perfectly and with a price tag of only £20 per person for a three-course meal, the sun is never likely to set on this particular Empire.
