Empire
The 1AM shawarma counter on Church Street. Kebab, biryani, the city's late-night safety net.
why we keep going,
Chicken kebab roll, butter chicken, the shawarma. Order from one menu, don't overthink.
Open till the small hours; Brigade Road branch is the loudest, Church Street the most central.
It's a chain across Bangalore now, but the late-night ritual is the original promise.
local context
Started as a family partnership in 1966; the late-night kebab habit became Bangalore shorthand under the management that took over in the early eighties.
