Late Mr. Abdul Rahim Haji

Founder
NKP Empire Ventures Pvt. Ltd.

THIS IS A STORY OF PASSION, DEDICATION, AND CULINARY EXCELLENCE THAT BEGAN OVER HALF A CENTURY AGO.

In 1966, the late Mr. Abdul Rahim Haji travelled from Malaysia to Bengaluru with a dream and a vision. He sought to create a place where people could enjoy delicious, hygienic, and affordable food. In opening the first Empire Restaurant, he embarked on a remarkable journey that would leave an indelible mark on the city’s people and eating habits.

Over the years, NKP Empire Ventures evolved from its humble beginnings into a diverse house of brands, catering to varied palates. Today, it is a family-owned enterprise spread across locations in South India and the Middle East, all of which continue to honor Mr. Abdul Rahim Haji’s legacy.

FOOD. INNOVATION. ALWAYS.

NKP Empire Ventures has stood testimony to Bengaluru’s evolution from a sleepy little town to a bustling metropolis, having delighted generation after generation of loyal customers with our signature dishes. We’re proud to be a cornerstone of South Indian culture and history—a reminder that no matter how much things change and evolve; some things can be counted on to remain the same!

Our commitment to excellence keeps us on track to fulfil a generational legacy of consumer centricity and culinary expertise. Our desire to be the best food brand in the market demands that we embody the essence of food innovation – always!

A TASTE THAT STANDS THE TEST OF TIME

The first Empire restaurant was a small eatery dedicated to offering healthy, hygienic, affordable food – the perfect foundation to springboard from, as our team began to expand our menu, grow, and develop the unique culinary legacy that was passed on from generation to generation.
