Title: Empress of India
Post by: Deniseamb on July 04, 2006, 09:57:13 AM

My usual Indian takeaway in Marple is the Empress of India however I was a bit dismayed to get their recent menu which says that they now do pizzas (a crossover too far! ).  Haven't had a takeaway for a while from there for a while.  Anybody been recently - has the standard of Indian food dropped?

Interesting development - I guess it could be seen as a variant of another 'crossover' (long established)  whereby some Chinese takeways also do fish and chips.  In my experience such places don't do either very well, and I reckon a safe rule of thumb is only to get fish and chips from somewhere that doesn't do Chinese takeaways, and vice versa.

Actually, I just went past and the menu board inside says they sell PIZZA'S. I wonder how this is different from PIZZAS and to whom they belong?
