About Indian Empire

Runaway Bay diners head here for elevated North Indian cooking served with old-school hospitality. Crisp linen tablecloths set the mood for rich, tender lamb rogan josh and smoky tandoori chicken pulled straight from the oven. Naan arrives blistered and fluffy beside generous curries, and the floor team brings out warm towels the second dinner plates are cleared.

  • Linen table settings: Tables dressed with crisp linens and cloth napkins frame a relaxed, sit-down dining room.
  • Warm towel finish: Staff bring out heated towels right after clearing dinner plates.
  • Heated patio setup: Outdoor seating features heaters and individual blankets for cooler evenings.
