" Empire Turkish Grill is a hidden gem! The moment you walk in, you are greeted with the rich scent of spices. I ordered the Adana kebab and it was the best I've ever had! Juicy, perfectly seasoned, and served with fresh bread. The atmosphere is cozy, making it a great place to unwind. I can't wait to come back again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Empire Turkish Grill is such a disappointment. The service was terribly slow, and they forgot some of our orders. The food was fine, but not as authentic as I anticipated. We probably won’t come back again after this experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a weekday lunch here and was pleasantly surprised! The vegetarian options were limited but the falafel wrap I had was decent. The service was quick and the atmosphere was cheerful. I will likely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time trying Turkish food and I was blown away! The warm bread with zaatar was exceptional, and the adana kebab was out of this world. The only hiccup was a slight wait for a table, but it was well worth it in the end. I definitely recommend Empire. " (*Curated Review*)

" Empire Turkish Grill is a lovely little place! The cuisine feels authentic without being pretentious. The halloumi cheese was perfectly grilled, and the Turkish coffee was delightful. The only downside was the slow service during peak hours but overall, a good experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Empire Turkish Grill was ok, but I was hoping for something more. The lamb kebab was tender, yet I found the spices to be somewhat muted compared to what I’ve tried elsewhere. However, the ambiance was warm and welcoming. The service staff was friendly, making it a pleasant experience overall. Would I come back? Maybe, but I might explore other options first. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant had some hits and misses for me. The grilled vegetables were excellent, but the falafel was a bit too dry. The service was attentive, but the wait time was longer than we anticipated. I appreciated the authentic vibe and will give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)
