Just a week after Swiggy, food aggregator Zomato unveiled its Zomato Food Trends (ZFT). This publicly available data analysis platform was launched on June 30. It aims in aiding the restaurant partners in taking a data-driven approach. It includes detailed information about prices, dishes and locations. This year, the trend has given an interesting insight into what Indians love to eat. Guess what? Right after its competitor, Zomato also crowned chicken biryani to be the most ordered and trending dish in the country. We are sure that didn't come as a surprise. After all, we share a mutual love for this delectable dish. When it came to the most trending cuisine, North Indian cuisine reigned undisputed. It was once again followed by our much-loved biryani.
