From a humble beginning in 1966, the Empire family has now grown into one of the leading and most sought after non-vegetarian eateries in the Garden City of India. The successful (hi)story of Hotel Empire began with the purchase of a small restaurant on the Central Street, Shivaji Nagar in 1966 by a non-resident Indian from Malaysia, who had a long and excellent track record in the field of catering.

Empire went through the metamorphosis of its growth under a number of efficient managements till it has reached the present milestone. It has gone from strength to strength, thanks to the unrelenting patronage and support from the public of Bangalore famous for its penchant for mouthwatering and sumptuous food. The management was always keen to take care of the individual tastes and preferences of every one of its valuable patrons.

Hotel Empire took a remarkable turn in terms of service and business under the present management that took over in the early Eighties. The restaurant was constantly upgraded with new services and tastier delicacies. Air-conditioned dining halls were introduced and the premises were expanded to meet the ever growing demand of the Empire fans. The building that housed the restaurant was rebuilt in the late Nineties and more than twenty comfortable and reasonably priced rooms were added to make it a full-fledged hotel.

In the meantime, new branches of Hotel Empire were opened in the Russell Market area and Kammanahalli, maintaining the traditional Empire standards. The progress story of Empire has now culminated in the opening of its new prestigious venture called Hotel Empire International. Ideally located in the heart of Bangalore on the Church Street off MG Road, the new joint has become the connoisseur of the culinary lovers of Bangalore.

The management is fully confident that with the tremendous support shown by its patrons, the Empire family will scale new heights in the hospitality business. As in the past, the management keenly look forward to valuable guidance and help from its honorable patrons.
