Bengaluru: It is that time of the year when companies release the reports and lists that wrap up the year. Swiggy recently released their report of what was the most ordered item in the country and who spent the most money on food, and Bengaluru topped several of its lists, including the highest order placed by a customer on a single day.

“Our hungriest customers came from Bengaluru with a single order worth Rs 75,378 during Diwali, followed by a customer in Pune who ordered burgers and fries for his entire team with a bill value of Rs 71229,” Swiggy said.

Another customer from Bengaluru alone placed a staggering 118 orders for gourmet dishes in just a week, the report further said. But Bengaluru wasn’t just ahead on spending; they were the leaders in saving as well through the Swiggy One subscription scheme that offers free deliveries, attractive prices, and other privileges.

“Bengaluru emerged as the top city that saved the most with Swiggy One. Making the most of the benefits, members from Bengaluru saved over Rs 100 crore, followed closely by those in Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Delhi,” according to the report.

In 2022, biryani was the most-ordered food item online, followed by Masala Dosa and chicken fried rice. “In 2021, customers ordered 115 biryanis per minute, and in 2022, it rose to 137 per minute, reaching 2.28 per second. India’s taste buds also explored foreign flavours with Ravioli (Italian) and Bibimbap (Korean) emerging as popular choices,” said the report.

Bengaluru also ranked no. 1 in the meat delivery category followed by Hyderabad and Chennai
