Empire in the late 1970s is where I fine tuned my smoking after a chai. A decade later, I used to wait there for my bootlegger from BRV Army Canteen for a bottle of Rum. 2 decades later, I was the tax assessment officer.
Their journey is a great success story & I enjoyed a ringside view of the Huqs

Sir, there is no information about the rates in our city, they are only charging ₹80 for 30 kilometers. Our city district Mainpuri, Uttar Pradesh, you should check the rate card there once, we are not getting the money even for the mention

Non veg thali is more than worth the value, must try. Also I loved Ceylon paratha

[rafeeqpoodal]

Looks lovely.. Bet it tastes better if you eat it all with your hands though😍

1.75Cr turnover in one day. wow
Customer focused businesses should always be a people's business, not just the product

system oriented but people focused.

Your top staff is not working properly. No one is paying for the extra distance

[naveed_bangalore]

the most popular items on your(Empire) menu "ghee rice" and "kabab" are a disaster
