The chicken had the most uniquely delicate crust, and both of our selections were tasty and nicely presented. The interior is modern and comfortable and immaculate. Do not hesitate!

The fried rice was good, but I think it could have used a little more spice, but then again it's possible I needed to cleanse my palate from the wings. The service was friendly though it did take a bit for someone to come to the counter. Inside was nice and had a good amount of seating if you wanted to eat in with a group, and ample parking in the lot outside as it's within a shopping plaza. I'm not in Alabama too often, but I save this place to my maps listing as it's well worth another visit.

I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and a plate of char-grilled hot wings. The sandwich was the highlight for me. The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned, with a nice char on the outside that gave it great flavor without being dry. The bun was fresh and held everything together without falling apart halfway through (which I always appreciate). It felt like a well-balanced, thoughtfully made sandwich rather than something rushed. The char-grilled hot wings were flavorful with a smoky finish from the grill. They had a good kick -- not overwhelmingly spicy, but enough heat to keep things interesting. A couple of them were slightly on the smaller side, but the taste definitely made up for it. The atmosphere was relaxed and lively without being too loud. Service was friendly and attentive, though we did wait a bit longer than expected for our food during a busy stretch. Nothing dramatic, just noticeable. Overall, it's a place I'd happily return to -- good food, good vibe, and consistent quality. A strong 4 stars from me.

Plenty of chunks of chicken, with a smooth sauce, and nice crust. I ate the entire pizza because I could not get enough. The decor was very whimsical with their elephant logos throughout.

We just happened upon this place as we were in the joint parking lot of Can a Brotha Get a Slice…read more As I was paying for our pizza, a lady approached me asking whether we wanted cheesecake. I was a little confused but I quickly learned that The Cheesecake Empori-yum is a distinct business. The woman was a friend of the owner and she kindly walked me through the cheesecake options that were available. I was debating between the white chocolate triple berry and the pineapple upside down cake for my husband and the snickers and red velvet for me. I went with the daily special - pineapple upside down cake - and red velvet. The cheesecake slices were $5.15 each, which was perhaps a little hefty for the size of the slice but still reasonable I thought. The pineapple upside down cake cheesecake came out hot. I was told that the cake portion had just been baked. I must admit that it looked very different than what I was imagining it to look like (i.e. Cheesecake Factory) as the cake was falling apart. We refrigerated it for a few hours before trying it so that the cheesecake portion would be cold. While good, this dessert very much looked and tasted like cake and not cheesecake. There was also a texture issue for me as it was all very soft versus having distinct cake and cheesecake textures. We thought that the red velvet cheesecake was more successful. It was rich and creamy and the red velvet flavor came through nicely. The slice held up well and had a nice Oreo crust. It was perfectly baked. We were rushing some so I didn't see the full menu. Next time, I'd love to try the soul food egg rolls!

As a lonely…read moreCalifornia transplant years ago, I remember feeling a little uneasy about the prospect of being in such a new place without any of my normal comforts -- including my favorite places to get comfort food. Naturally, one of the first things I did was seek out some new local places to fill the role of my favorite spots back home. This search led me right to The Cheesecake Empori-Yum; after all, what could possibly be more comforting than a cheesecake? I can definitely say that I found what I was looking for. I may have had better cheesecake experiences in the past, but certainly not by much -- it's hard to exaggerate how good the cheesecakes are here. I might recommend trying the original in addition to any specialty slices you order, just to give yourself a benchmark. The last time I visited, I went with the Reese's cheesecake -- peanut butter fiend that I am, I ordered a peanut butter cheesecake with chocolate crust, crushed Reese's Cups, and chocolate drizzle was only right. It was wonderfully dense and beautifully creamy, just as always. I did wish that the peanut butter flavor of the cheesecake itself came through more, though; the peanut butter notes were overshadowed a bit by the stronger chocolate flavor from the crust/drizzle. Although the cheesecakes are fantastic, I think the best part of all is the amazingly friendly service. You often here the phrase "service with a smile," but here you will find that to the tenth degree. The owner is so very friendly, and it's evident she puts her heart and soul into everything she makes. A little shop with a big heart... you can tell each item is made with love. Come by for a slice... or three. I won't judge.

You could feel the love in the room. We started with the samosas, which were crispy on the outside, perfectly spiced on the inside--classic and comforting. The butter chicken was a standout: rich, velvety, and full of flavor without being too heavy. The lamb chops were tender and juicy, with seasoning that made every bite count. And the garlic naan? Soft, warm, and just the right amount of char and chew. It didn't stand a chance on the table! The service was just as impressive--attentive without hovering, patient with our questions, and genuinely kind. You could tell they care about the experience, not just the transaction. Everything from the food to the service to the setting hit the mark. If you're in the mood for Indian cuisine done right--with heart, soul, and top-tier flavor--this is your spot.

They have a lunch Buffett available for $19.99, but k opted for an entree. I enjoyed the chicken tikka masala - the medium level was not spicy to me at all so if you want spicy, you need to ask for a level up. The garlic naan was soft and delicious. I was most surprised by the prices here. For lunch, this meal came out to $32. The price is what knocks this place down a few stars for me since it is double what I would normally pay for this exact same meal in Birmingham.
