In a remarkable feat, Biryani has once again claimed the title of India’s most-ordered dish on Swiggy, with an astounding 83 million orders placed in 2024—an average of 158 orders per minute. This marks the ninth consecutive year the beloved dish has topped the charts, according to Swiggy’s annual food trends report.
Hot on its heels, Dosa secured the second spot with 23 million orders, underscoring its enduring popularity across the country. Meanwhile, Bengaluru set a unique record, with one enthusiastic customer spending ₹49,900 solely on pasta, indulging in nearly 55 Alfredo dishes, 40 Mac & Cheese plates, and 30 servings of spaghetti.
Dinner emerged as the preferred mealtime, accounting for 215 million orders—29% higher than lunch. Bengaluru continued its love affair with Masala Dosa, clocking in 2.5 million orders, while Delhi, Chandigarh, and Kolkata stayed loyal to their regional favourites: Chole, Aloo Parantha, and Kachoris, respectively.
In the snack category, Chicken Roll took the crown with 2.48 million orders, followed closely by Chicken Momos with 1.63 million orders and Potato Fries with 1.3 million orders.
When it comes to late-night cravings, Chicken Burger stole the show with 1.84 million orders placed between midnight and 2 AM. However, Chicken Biryani remained a round-the-clock favourite, cementing its place as India’s ultimate culinary obsession.
As Swiggy’s latest report reveals, India’s food preferences continue to evolve, but the love for classic dishes like Biryani remains unwavering, solidifying its status as the ‘undisputed king of the food kingdom.’
