"The restaurant has good food and a pleasant ambience, making it a nice spot to dine in. Parking was available, which is definitely convenient. We tried the biriyani and it was quite good, worth recommending. Outside, there’s a small outlet for paan and ice creams, but we felt the prices there were a bit on the higher side. Overall, a good experience inside, though the outside outlet could be more reasonably priced."

"Worst ever food and service had from Empire. Veg thali served with ghee rice. All curries and parota are soaked in oil. Never tasted such a dry chicken biryani. Soup was good. No one is bothered to clear table once finishes. Felt as we are having food for free on their expense."

"Empire Restaurant located at Arekere Junction is a great spot for non-vegetarian food lovers. The restaurant has a moderately good ambiance, though there’s definitely room for improvement. The staff are attentive and provide good service. When it comes to food quality,the non-veg dishes stand out . The chicken kebab was delicious 😋 , chicken biriyani was quite flavourful as well. Since we had a vegetarian friend with us, we ordered Gobi Manchurian, which was just average. Unfortunately, the vegetable biryani was disappointing. Overall, it's a good place for non-veg lovers. I would rate 3.5 stars out of 5 stars for this outlet. Don’t miss out on their flavored prawns available at the front of the restaurant — they’re really good!"

"I ordered two hot chocolate fudge. And one of them had a broomstick in it. Went back to the hotel and informed the manager. He did provide a refund. However he was rude and asked us to take the hot chocolate fudge and leave. He also demanded for the bill to be given to him."
