I’d a very bad & awkward experience last night. apart from Lamb Biryani, which was definitely not a Biryani, everything was below standard. Allo Paratha was the major disappointment. No card accepted only cash. No other employees. Never going to comeback here.

Curry, rice ,and nan bread were amazing I have eaten at many Indian restaurants in Portland and Utah and this is my favorite. Very tasty! Ambiance and music very nice as well. The host was very kind, price was well worth the portion sizes given. Just bring cash for payment, they do not accept CC, but well worth it !!!!!!!

We stopped for dinner and loved the food. The owner is the server and chef. The quality and flavor of the food was excellent and I haven’t had better customer service in any other restaurant in north Idaho. A corporate chain restaurant can’t even compare. That’s the difference between an owner taking pride in his business and work and an employee who doesn’t care just doing their job. We will definitely be going back.

The food was very good. The decor is nice and comforting with a strong Indian and Thai theme, as the name suggests. The restrooms each have two toilets, but no dividing stall walls or doors, so unless a family with young children comes in, each gendered restroom is essentially single-occupancy. For atmosphere, the music is on a searchable system, like YouTube, so try requesting something if you are the only one(s) in the store. Otherwise, we listened to some modern Indian music and also some German Industrial Metal. It was fun.

I love Indian/Thai food and I came to Emperor of India with my dad with high expectations and they were most certainly met! The man who served us (and also cooked, I believe) was incredibly friendly and helpful, and truly cared about the quality of our experience. As soon as he found out we were New Mexicans and wanted the highest caliber of spiciness, he seemed thrilled and even asked our permission to fiddle a little with what we ordered. The food was amazing! Some of the best Indian/Thai food I’ve ever had (I ordered the former, my dad the latter, and we shared). Definitely try this place out!

The owner was very knowledgable about cuisine and its preparation and treated us with the utmost respect. My grandmother and me both had curry and it was something that I would have paid twice the price for. The lamb was grade A, melted in my mouth. There are some bad reviews on google, none of which I experienced when I ate at the Emperor. Check out there Trip Advisor profile. 80+ reviewers average of 4.5 stars.

It’s hard to find good dining does not steak and potatoes. If you like to try something a little different some great Indian cuisine this is your place. The man that runs this restaurant really as customer service down I think we could all learn a lot about how to treat people from this man. It’s a good break away from a steak and a salad the norm around here

Not great. Maybe you can find something you like here, but I didn’t. Had a bizarre sweet pad Thai that tasted like no pad Thai I’ve ever had. Pizza crust naan. Vegetables that im 90% sure came from a frozen Walmart bag. Lost my appetite after a few bites. However, the owner was exceptionally friendly and helpful, and would have likely made me a new dish if I had requested.

My wife and I began dining at the Emperor of India, since it was first in Moscow, ID. What we found there is the same as what we found in Lewiston. Great! The owner is the cook and waiter. He takes pride in serving the customer from greeting to exit. He takes pride in his cooking and always concerned if his guests are pleased with it. He has added some Thai dishes to expand his customer base. The decor of the restaurant is not that of a four star restaurant, but typical of Lewiston. It is warm, friendly, and clean. However, the meals are on par with any four star Indian restaurant in the world. I have eaten at expensive Indian restaurants all over the world, including India. They were no better. We would eat at this restaurant more often, but we live in Moscow. We will be there tomorrow evening.
