This commitment has been the guiding principle behind each of their restaurants. The Sinanaj brothers proudly own multiple Empire Steak House locations throughout New York City, including E. 50th Street, W. 54th Street, W. 49th Street, and Broadway. Their culinary excellence extends beyond the borders of the United States, with a location in Tokyo. In addition to Empire Steak House, the brothers have brought their dedication to hospitality to Chazz Palminteri Italian Restaurant, which can be enjoyed in both New York City and Westchester.

The menu offers an array of mouthwatering options, including perfectly grilled steaks, succulent seafood dishes, and an impressive selection of fine wines and beers. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in a memorable dining experience, Empire Steak House guarantees an unforgettable journey for the senses, where classic elegance meets culinary excellence.
