Urban Indians’ obsession with non-homemade food has taken a new high, according to Swiggy’s year-end report of 2025. It revealed that the highest single-visit restaurant spends of 2025 were recorded in Bengaluru and Mumbai, where the bills by two diners in both cities together amounted to an eye-popping Rs 3 lakh.
Pune also emerged as a city of big spenders. According to the report, one customer clocked the city’s highest single restaurant payment at Rs 1,73,885, while another diner spent Rs 1.19 lakh on a Valentine’s Day celebration.
Alongside luxury indulgence, Swiggy’s data revealed how diners across India made the most of savings. Through Swiggy Dineout, users collectively saved Rs 774 crore over the course of the year, highlighting the growing popularity of deals and discounts while eating out.
On the food delivery side, a Mumbai-based customer placed 3,196 orders on Swiggy in 2025, nearly nine orders a day, making it the highest number of orders recorded by a single user in the country.
The report once again confirmed India’s love for biryani. Indians ordered 93 million biryanis on Swiggy in 2025, making it the most-ordered dish in the country for the 10th consecutive year. “Biryani is the undisputed King, proving that while trends may come and go, India’s deep-rooted love for this aromatic masterpiece remains constant,” the company noted in the report.
Commenting on the findings, Rohit Kapoor, CEO of Swiggy Marketplace, emphasised that food in India goes far beyond numbers and trends.
“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. At Swiggy, we’re fortunate to witness these stories every single day and be a part of everyday joys,” he said.
