With 93 million orders this year, biryani retained its crown as Swiggy’s most-ordered dish for the 10th year in a row. The second spot went to Burger, while Pizza claimed the third position. Swiggy’s year-end report revealed that the dish continues its reign as the most-ordered item on the food delivery platform. Among biryanis, Chicken biryani was the most popular biryani with 57.7 million orders.
“Biryani is the undisputed King, proving that while trends may come and go, India’s deep-rooted love for this aromatic masterpiece remains constant,” Swiggy said. While biryani continued to reign supreme, other dishes also gained popularity. Burgers came in second with 44.2 million orders, followed by pizza at 40.1 million. Veg dosa emerged as another favourite among Indians, racking up 26.2 million orders.
194 biryanis ordered per minute
According to Swiggy, people in India ordered one biryani every 3.25 seconds, which implies 194 biryanis per minute. The data does not even match the orders placed via other food delivery apps like Zomato or directly from restaurants. Interestingly, with this record, Biryani has also completed a decade of being the most popular dish on Swiggy.
On the year-end report, Rohit Kapoor, CEO of Swiggy Marketplace said, “In India, food is never just food, it’s how moments begin- a hurried “quick bite” that turns into comfort food or that late night when hunger arrives before sleep does. It isn’t just about the mind-blowing 93 million biryanis ordered, the growing appetite for global cuisines, or rediscovering local favourites. It’s about what sits beneath those numbers: moods, memories, and moments that people chose to celebrate with food.”
