Indian Food in Johnston

“I had a great experience at this new restaurant. The service was excellent and our server was very polite, and the entire staff was warm and welcoming. We started with the Momo 65 and Gobi Manchurian and both were flavorful, especially the Gobi Manchurian, which is hard to find done well. For entrées, we tried the Empire Special Chicken Curry, Malai Kofta, and Chicken Dum Biryani and all three dishes were delicious and full of rich, authentic flavors. I will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and great service.”

“We have been here twice since they opened, once for dine in and once for take out, and were pleased each time . The food is fresh, tasty, and the portions are good. There are a lot of different options. I recommend the samosas, chicken 65, and Navarathina Korma. My husband likes the Chicken Biryani. We just found out they have a weekend buffet for $19.99 between 12-3.”

If you want to experience great Indian food in RI, this is my number one recommendation, they blow the other spots out of the water.”

“Every dish was 10/10 from the shrimp with garlic sauce, to the grilled tandoori pomfret, and lastly the garlic naan with shrimp tikka masala and channa saag. The mint mojito was also delicious. Will definitely recommend to friends and will be back again!”

“We went around noon. It’s cute and rustic inside. The workers were kind, patient, and helpful. The food was very flavorful! I had the tomato dal (spicy), butter naan, mango lassi, and tikka skewers. I tried my dad’s mango shrimp dish and that was delicious as well. I highly recommend trying this restaurant. Apparently they do buffets on Sundays. Will definitely be back with my family :)”

“Empire Biryani & Grille is an absolute gem in Johnston. The food is consistently flavorful, authentic, and beautifully prepared. The biryani is fragrant and perfectly spiced, with tender meat and generous portions. Their curries are rich and comforting, and the appetizers are a great way to start the meal. The atmosphere is modern and inviting, and the staff is friendly, attentive, and happy to offer recommendations. Whether dining in or ordering takeout, the quality is always top-notch. If you’re looking for excellent Indian cuisine with bold flavors and great service, Empire Biryani & Grille is a must-visit.”

“I had just seen a review on Tik Tok and they loved it. I didn't know the place was on the opposite side of town. I went there that day to give it a try. It was fantastic. My dish was loaded with flavor and spices and the Honey Naan was fantastic. The service was great. I highly recommend this place”

“Oh emmm geee what a hidden little Gem! One of the best Indian food I had in a very long time 👌 ( same place that taco barn used to be) the service was also top notch very pleasant and attentive. My new fav restaurant in this area you won’t be disappointed 🤗”

“I had the pleasure of trying this spot for date night, and it did not disappoint. The food was incredible, especially the butter chicken and naan. What truly made the experience a 10/10, though, was our server, she was so kind, attentive, and continually checked in to make sure everything exceeded our expectations. I’ve always loved Indian food, but it was my boyfriend’s first time trying it, and he genuinely enjoyed it. We’ll definitely be back!”
