Restaurants

Eastern Empire, on Balham’s Bedford Hill is the sort of restaurant that you just go back to time and time again. An unassuming, traditional Indian restaurant with no alcohol license it stands out against a sea of wannabes trailing on Balham’s up and coming coat tails. Welcoming service from a band of waiters happy to talk you through the menu makes dining at Eastern Empire a real pleasure while an extensive menu of classic Indian dishes are cooked to order, each one carefully prepared by the talented kitchen team. With over 160 dishes from biryanis to baltis on offer and prices to make the average London diner gasp with delight Eastern Empire is a must.
