Princess Prawns from Empire Szechwan.

English Social Sciences Cooking / Culinary
After Jack turns his key in the lock and pushes open the apartment door, he pauses, and I know he is holding his head up, sniffing to see if the air is redolent of tarragon and thyme, a reduction of butter and white wine, the tang of lemon zest. Or, once again, of Princess Prawns from Empire Szechwan.

the name of the dish and the restaurant it came from

The dish is called Princess Prawns and it has been delivered by the Empire Szechuan restaurant.

This is my guess as the name of the dish and of the restaurant are both capitalised.

agree Patricia Townshend (X) : Empire Szechwan is a restaurant - http://www.empiretogo.com/ - and princess prawns could either be a dish or refer to their large size.
