By Masala Mirror Desk December 24, 2025
Namaste, food lovers! The king of Indian plates has retained its crown for the 10th year in a row. Biryani continues to spice up our lives as the undisputed champion of Swiggy orders in 2025, with an mouth-watering 93 million plates delivered across the country.
Swiggy’s much-awaited annual stat pack, “How India Swiggy’d 2025”, dropped just in time for the festive season, and the numbers are as delicious as a perfectly dum-ed Hyderabadi biryani. That’s 3.25 biryani orders every single second – or roughly 194 steaming pots per minute!
The star of the show? None other than chicken biryani, clocking a massive 57.7 million orders – the highest for any single item and the one with the most loyal repeat customers who just can’t get enough.
Swiggy’s Top 5 Most-Ordered Dishes of 2025
- Biryani – 93 million orders
- Burgers – 44.2 million orders
- Pizzas – 40.1 million orders
- Veg Dosa – 26.2 million orders
- Idli – 11 million orders
From the aromatic layers of Lucknowi biryani to the fiery kick of Chettinad and the potato-filled delight of Kolkata’s version, biryani’s regional magic keeps Indians hooked. While burgers and pizzas give tough competition in the fast-food arena, nothing comes close to dethroning our desi favourite.

- Global flavours gained ground: Mexican dishes (16 million), Tibetan momos & more (over 12 million), and Korean delights (4.7 million).
- Hyperlocal love exploded – Pahari cuisine grew 9x, while Malabari and Rajasthani specialities nearly doubled.
- Dinner trumped lunch by 32%, proving Swiggy is now the go-to for late-night hunger pangs and family feasts.
As Rohit Kapoor, CEO of Swiggy Food Marketplace, beautifully said: “In India, food is never just food – it’s how moments begin.”
Whether it’s a solo treat after a long day or a grand weekend spread, biryani remains the ultimate comfort, celebration, and craving-satisfier for millions.
