    Empire is Empire. You have to, make a trip to this place if you are in town. Kebabs, Grilled Chicken, Ghee Rice, Parotta's and Salan is a must for every time. They have become pricey but that's just inflation kicking in I guess. Different sections for groups, families, small groups and more. Expect a decent 15 minutes waiting for your order. Decent service and good hygiene is appreciated. Good luck.

    The waiter I had was very good and attentive to everyone's needs on the floor. The food I ordered was also very fresh and tasty. The ambiance could be improved a little bit. No other complaints.

    Alfama chicken-4stars, Biryani-3.5 stars, chilly chicken-3.5 stars... Ambience-3 stars... Service-2stars... food was placed on the table in one go.. may be they can start wisely soup, starter, roti etc.... by the time we completed starter biryani was in normal temperature... and may be you should add spicy food items into the menu...

    Biryani - 3/5 Paratha - 4/5 Egg curry- 2/5 Chickhen starters - 3/5 Value for money -3/5 Taste of food is very moderate. Biryani served was saltless and flovour less. You really need to change your chef. At times Empire biryani was my favourite now it has lost its charm. Add more flavours to starters and all your starters tastes similar. Most of the time food is not served hot. Paratha was made good and again egg and chickhen curry tastes similar. Raita is watery . Empire one of the best restaurants in Bangalore , youbhave a unique and thrilling menu, just like their name. A retro interior the ambiance is nothing but the best! The courteous staff, a huge variety of food and drinks make this place one of the best restaurants in Bangalore.

    Biriyani is not good nowadays... Previously I think 10 years back it was fantastic... Now i can give only 4 out of 10. Mutton also not that much fast (we had mutton biriyani) The big plate of biriyani (650 Rs) 3 people can eat. So don't order more. The lime soda is good but very costly there. Alfaham chicken was very tasty.. you can try that one. Really awesome. ------------------ Again after 2 years, I have visited recently (Oct.2023). Ordered Chicken and Mutton Biriyani. OMG, the biriyani I ever had. It seems, they just mix the white rice with a small amount of biriyani masala. very much disappointed. I went with my friend who is new to Bangalore. so I wanted to give a good biriyani to him. I felt sad that I had been the wrong place to eat Biriyani. If we have biriyani with good aroma and masala, I will not recommend to go here. not at all the biriyani smell also not there. I have asked the person who took our order and asked some masala and mixed. after that had without interesting (no taste at all) Service is ok level. 2 years back I enjoyed Alfhan chicken. So I ordered the same thing. That also lost its taste now.

    As always the best non veg restaurant in Kammanahalli, never let's you down. I have been a regular to Empire for almost 10 years now. Whether lunch or dinner or a quick bite, empire is your go to place in Kammanahalli. Though there are numerous restaurant in Kammanahalli, Empire has retained its best of flavor and taste in Ghee rice, kabab, shawarma, chicken Biryani. Good space for seating, parking and ambience is also good. Service has improved as well. Keep up the good work.

    An okay ish place to eat food. The best part of this restaurant is that, it's even open at 3am. At times after watching movies at theater 🎬 and then when you want to eat food late night, Empire Kamnahali will be of a great help ! 😄

    Ordered a chicken kebab online and found a piece of plastic in the kebab batter. The restaurant makes some good kebabs but I don’t trust that the quality won’t be a compromise on my health. Hope the restaurant checks their orders going forward.

    A very big scam on mojitos. I have ordered a watermelon mojito, and it is completely filled with ice cubes and a few watermelon slices. Taste wise it's good but the quantity is less than half a glass.

    Friendly Crew is friendly with customers Identification a on place is some difficult due to its resides inner roadside, little space but crowdy during weekends. 1. Meals is Good and fine, Dhal is soo good. 2. Chiken biryani is Good & Yummy 2. Mutton curry taste must be much improved 3. Lime soda must be improved 4. Kabab is tasteless non spicy not at all good. @ Average cost of 2 will be 1000 - 1200 rs. Recommendations - 1.Roti in meals must be replaced with something better. 2.Kabab could be bit spicy, no salt in it at all 3.Lemon chicken there was no lemon essence atleast to feel the taste. 4.Vehicle parking could be improved Thanks a lot for service.

    Taking undue advantage of people who go late night and purchase food. This is known as ultimate combo but thy cheat and give away all the item in less quantity taking undue advantage of time.

    Typical Empire experience. Visited this branch after a long time. They stopped making my favourite dish - Chicken varutharachathu. The newly added quick bites section offers great options. Good seating arrangement. Party hall is available. All digital payments are accepted. AMEX cards are not accepted.

    This restaurant is My all time Favourite for a drooling shawarma roll, grill and mutton (bheja) brain fry 😋 I would also recommend ghee rice and kebabs which is also a best seller at this restaurant. You should try once and I am sure you'll be satisfied 😃 price approximately 1000 for two 😉

  • 4/5 Maha L S P. 1 year ago on Google
    Had been to Empire Easy Bites for chilly cheese fries. I enjoy them. A plate of fries with melted cheese topped with jalapeños/onion cost me 114rs. It is very tasty. But take away in a cardboard box is not a good option. It spoils the fun. The fries get soggy by the time one eats it and the cheese too is wasted away in the box. Next time I am going to take my own box and am going to have it packed in it. There are very few vegetarian options. This might not be called a kids friendly place. This specific eat out might not be wheelchair friendly. This is in a crowded area. Tonight the car had to be parked much farther away. Gluten-free, jain food, vegan options are all very few. Today I took the chilly cheese fries in a tiffin box and I was charged Rs 144. Perhaps because I saved their packaging cost or because I asked for extra chillies and onions. Traced it only after reaching home. Always check your bills and to which amount are you putting your credit card pin number. Buyer beware! I made a mistake today. Not next time though.

    Very good place. Good to take your family here. Super long waiting time. Must to visit during weekdays only. Area is very full with traffic. Getting a taxi from here is very difficult. Park in your own risk. Rates are reasonable

  • 1/5 Vijay K. 2 years ago on Google
    The price is high. Taste was good. But why am rating 2 star is, when you ask for parcel of remaining food you had, they will discard more than 50% of the food. For example, I had ordered full butter chicken, after having little I asked them to parcel, but then the quantity was less than 30% Then grill chicken, I asked to get half for dine in and half for parcel. But the server told me what I had is full only. But later manager told me without server knowledge that half grilled chicken parcel is still to come. But later server was still arguing that what I had was full. But in the end I received half parcel. But I lost about rs400 in butter chicken. I don't recommend this place.

    Had been here with family & ordered a bunch of dishes including Naan. Not sure if Empire cares about customers or hygiene anymore. There was hair in the naan. This chain of restaurnats were known for their good food, good service but the quality and service is only deteriorating from sometime.

    Easy bites all items are to die for, especially fish n chips my favorite is to die for.. It's so relaxing when we venture out after midnight and find this amazing restaurant serve food. Service takes times due to the crowd but otherwise it's good.

  • 1/5 Varun 1 year ago on Google
    Food isn't good, it was ok, we ordered rumali rotti, coin parota egg masala, special dal fry, kalmi kebab, ghee rice, biriyani rice and chicken kebab. Kabab is just red colour, tasteless and worst.

  • 5/5 Lordbosumatari L. 7 months ago on Google
    Go to place for unplanned lunch or dinner. Offers the best food at such an affordable price. Needless to say Chicken grilled is my all time favourite. Loved the tender coconut pudding and that was something new. Perfect balance of cream and sweet. Had a hearty meal yet again 😋😋 if you haven't been here you should in any outlet of theirs near to yours service is very impressive all staff are very friendly thay are know how to treat customer.

  • 1/5 Rahul P. 2 years ago on Google
    bad service, tagged with zomato, who after collecting orders and payments, directs you to empire, who don't pay any heed to orders or complaints , hand in glove, guess zomato. is loosing its sheen or on the run to. make big bucks on tie with empire

    I tried the food for the very first time, and I must say it is beyond my imagination in standard as well as hygiene. The prices are reasonable and the quality is up to the mark...I would recommend everyone to try the food here and definitely visit again and again.... thank you for your services..

  • 1/5 Nethra N. 1 year ago on Google
    Do you guys really care your customers if yes, you wouldn’t have sent this stale and spoiled food to your customer Don’t you feel bad for sending these kind of foods that too charging so much. And I ordered it at 3 pm as I was on office call I couldn’t have immediately so when opened it at 4.10 pm I see full of bubbles and bad smell coming from the package I never experienced this kind of things when I order through other applications eg Swiggy but all these type of issues comes only with Zomato I’m not sure if Zomato tied up with restaurants for low quality food to get commission or something

    Grill is not that tasty. Kebab and biriyani is better. Powder they use to provide with Grill is waste instead they could give mayonnaise. Need to improve the delivery service.

  • 1/5 Dhanush K. 11 months ago on Google
    Never ask for the waiters suggestion. They tell us there's a tasty briyani and you people have to try one's you see the briyani and taste it. You'll definitely regret the choice you made.

    The food is delicious. Above all, the best thing about this store is that the staff are very friendly. Hand washing water was brought to the table after the meal, and I experienced the best service.

  • 2/5 Nandhini D. 10 months ago on Google
    Food was good, but the attitude of Manager was very worst. We dined in at 11 PM and the restaurant was fully crowded. Before even we complete our meal, the manager insisted us saying people are waiting for this table. Aren’t we paying? We understand that people are waiting. It should be manager’s responsibility to allocate the tables without disturbing others peace.

  • 5/5 Lokanath M. 10 months ago on Google
    A famous restaurant chain in Bengaluru, one of the finest restaurants I've visited in India. We came to have dinner. We reached the place around 12:30 am or The place was still crowded with families and bachelors having dinner at that time of the night. The staff were very attentive and accommodating and helped us to our table, where we ordered different kinds of food. As far as I know, they offer Indian, Arabic and Chinese food. They also offer cold drinks, shakes and fresh juices. The food tasted absolutely fantastic, their chicken Manchurian is really very tasty 😋 The restaurant has a fine atmosphere, with affordable prices. Overall, we had a pleasant experience at the restaurant.thanku all staff empire hotel

    I used to come this restaurant from last 6 months, I really like the food but the service technique is really something I should mention. We pay for the food to enjoy it and in between our meal waiter serve the finger bowl, I mean really. Its spoil the whole mood of eating. (And I know it's not waiters fault they are just following order of management) Today we came here for a special moment to celebrate but now thanks to empire restaurant they successfully ruined my mood.
