Zomato, the leading food delivery app in India, has emerged as the most popular choice among respondents of a survey conducted by Rakuten Insight in April 2023. This popularity is evident across all age groups, highlighting Zomato's widespread appeal in the country. With a staggering 100 million active users and a vast listing of over 500,000 restaurants, Zomato has firmly established itself as a dominant player in the food delivery industry.
Among the plethora of dishes available on Zomato, two stand out as the most frequently ordered. Butter Chicken takes the top spot, with over 1 million orders per day. Known for its rich and creamy flavour, this versatile dish can be enjoyed as a main course, appetizer, or snack. Following closely behind is Chicken Tikka Masala, another beloved Indian dish. It features marinated chicken cooked in a delectable creamy tomato sauce, often served alongside basmati rice or naan bread.
Chole Bhature claims the third spot on the list, representing the popularity of North Indian cuisine. This dish combines spicy chickpeas in a flavorful gravy, served with bhatura, a fried bread. Chole Bhature is a favoured choice for breakfast or lunch, reflecting the diversity of Indian culinary preferences.
In terms of geographical preferences, Zomato experiences the highest demand in major cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru. These metropolitan areas, known for their vibrant social scenes and tech-savvy populations, exhibit a strong affinity for mobile app-based food delivery. Zomato's influence extends beyond food delivery, as users rely on the platform for restaurant discovery. By browsing through listings, reading reviews, and viewing food photos, users can explore new dining experiences and expand their culinary horizons.
Zomato's success in the Indian food delivery market can be attributed to its extensive user base, diverse restaurant options, and its role as a platform for both delivery and restaurant exploration. With its user-friendly interface and a broad range of offerings, Zomato continues to shape the way Indians discover and enjoy food.

The Supper Club Mumbai, in collaboration with The Merchants, Fairmont Mumbai, recently hosted a specially curated dining experience celebrating the rich culinary traditions of Karnataka. The event brought together food lovers, cultural enthusiasts, and members of Mumbai's culinary community for an evening centred around regional flavours, storytelling, and meaningful conversations.
The immersive experience was curated by Chef Rajshri Gupta, Founder & Curator of The Supper Club Mumbai, along with Chef Mihir Kane, Director of Culinary at Fairmont Mumbai, and his team.
Guests were welcomed with live music before being served an authentic banana leaf meal, inspired by Karnataka's traditional dining culture. The menu featured a selection of regional favourites, including Beans Palya, Beetroot Palya, Enne Badnikayi, Tonde Kai, Goli Bajje, Raw Banana Sukka, Lamb Sukka, Chicken Ghee Roast, Kori Roti, Matta Rice, Donne Biryani, along with an assortment of chutneys, podis, aromatic ghee, seasonal vegetables, and non-vegetarian specialities. The meal concluded with the comforting Dal Payasam, offering guests a memorable finish to the culinary journey.
Beyond the food, the evening combined storytelling, music, and engaging conversations that gave guests a deeper understanding of Karnataka's culinary traditions, local ingredients, and cultural heritage.
The event was also attended by celebrated chef, restaurateur, author, and television personality Gary Mehigan, whose presence highlighted the growing appreciation for India's diverse regional cuisines on the global stage.
Speaking about the collaboration, Chef Rajshri Gupta, Founder & Curator, The Supper Club Mumbai, said:
"The flavours of Karnataka remain timelessly popular across the expanse of the country, with every individual relating their comfort with the diverse delicacies that it has produced for ages. Though diverse beyond imagination, its regional stories remain heavily underrepresented in the culinary excellence of India. Having partnered with The Merchants, Fairmont Mumbai, we aimed at curating a comprehensive meal to showcase the state's long-living heritage and emotions through food. It was heartening to witness the patrons indulging in every course with curiosity and gratitude."
Sharing his thoughts on the experience, Chef Mihir Kane, Director of Culinary, Fairmont Mumbai, said:
"At Fairmont Mumbai, we are constantly looking to create dining experiences that bring people together over exceptional food. At The Merchants, we've also made a conscious effort to shine a light on India's diverse regional cuisines, forgotten recipes, and local food traditions through a series of thoughtfully curated culinary initiatives. South Side Supper is a natural extension of that vision, showcasing the richness of South Indian home-style cooking through the recipes and traditions that Chef Rajshri has so carefully preserved. We hope guests leave with not just an appreciation for the flavours on the banana leaf, but also for the stories, warmth, and heritage that make these meals so special."
The collaboration reflects The Merchants' continued focus on showcasing India's regional cuisines through authentic ingredients, seasonal produce, and traditional cooking techniques. It also reinforces The Supper Club Mumbai's vision of creating culture-led dining experiences that bring people together through food, music, storytelling, and shared memories while celebrating India's diverse culinary heritage.
