India's favourite dish: A Biryani ordered per second, on Swiggy in 2020

The order analysis is based on millions of orders received by Swiggy

At a time when the coronavirus pandemic has accelerated the adoption of food delivery platforms, a biryani was ordered more than once every second in 2020, according to the fifth edition of Swiggy’s annual StatEATstics analysis. The orders include different biryani varieties such as vegetarian, chicken, mutton or aloo.

The StatEATstics order analysis is based on millions of orders received by Swiggy, India’s largest food ordering and leading on-demand delivery platform, between January and December 2020. Over 300,000 new users made their Swiggy debut by ordering in a chicken biryani. However, its vegetarian counterpart did not have the same luck.
