India ordered 2.5 biryanis per second in 2023; Swiggy Report

As we bid adieu to 2023, food delivery giant Swiggy has released its eighth annual "food wrap," chronicling the culinary adventures of its users throughout the year.

One of the interesting fact came across that showed 6,64,46,312 unique dishes on Swiggy’s menu across the country but the 5028 users who searched for ‘Swiggy’ on Swiggy, and the 1682 users who searched for ‘order’ didn't find anything. For those who did, here is what they ordered – 

According the report, topping the charts as the most-ordered dish on Swiggy for the eighth straight year, India ordered 2.5 biryanis per second in 2023. For every 5.5 chicken biryanis, there was one veg biryani ordered.

The love for biryani expanded with 2.49 million users making a debut on Swiggy with a biryani order. 

And just in case you’re still doubting the hype, biryani has been searched for a staggering 40,30,827 times on the platform. 

Every 6th biryani was ordered from Hyderabad and the champion of the biryani brigade was a Swiggy user from the city who ordered 1633 biryanis this year.  That is more than 4 biryanis a day.

A Biryani-loving family in Chandigarh ordered 70 plates in a single go during the nail-biting India Vs. Pak World Cup match in October. Swiggy was clocking over 250 Biryani orders per minute during this match.

A very exciting order came from Mumbai, who placed food orders worth ₹ 42.3 lakh (no, that’s not a CTC). 

Maximum orders were by user accounts in Chennai, Delhi, and Hyderabad who have placed more than 10,000 orders each.
