Empire Restaurant
Open till 2am, the alfaam-and-ghee-rice plate Bangalore has been ordering since 1966 when nothing else is open.
why we keep going,
Alfaam, mutton raan, butter chicken with ghee rice. Order with confidence, the kitchen knows what to do.
Late-night the room turns: drivers, second-shift folks, the post-bar crowd, everyone fed in twenty minutes.
Brigade Road branch is the central one; service is brisk, not warm, which is correct.
local context
Running since 1966. The late-night ghee rice and chicken kebab plate is older than most of the city's restaurants.
