Empires is a beautiful place. the resturant is beautifully decorated and has a wonderful, transparent atmosphere. eating is very delicious, and very good for sweet, but could have more options for vegans.

This restaurant serves 4 types of Turkish mezzenplatte. a vegan, a veggie, a meat based and a dips based (which may have been veggie friendly, may not quite remember.) all mezzenplatte come with a basket of pitta. kudos for a delicious vegan option. I wrote a picture of what I had. 2 falafels, 2 dolmades, artichokes, hummus, warm green beans in tomato sauce and salate. the food was filled and delicious. the stick for me was the price at £14 per plate, it does not feel worth that for such basic foods. if it were half the price, I would highly recommend.

Beautiful restaurant that she greets with the smell of smokers, a beautiful atmosphere, and friendly staff, the vegan. we sat at the window cabin, which was fed with cushions and very comfortable. we ordered a bundle of mezes and our favorit was the fasulye that was a delicate green bean bowl that didn't need a naan to go with it. the ezme was also good as the humus. her mincetee was also delicious. we were too constipated for dessert!

The interior design is great, and the menu is basically appetizers to choose from, Middle Eastern style food, it was delicious. The waitstaff was super friendly as well
