foodpanda.in, online food ordering platform, has recently conducted an insightful survey pan-India to comprehend the online food-ordering trends of the country between 3 pm to 7 pm. The survey that puts the spotlight on ‘What does India eat between lunch and dinner’ threw up some interesting observations like IT hub Bengaluru is the frontrunner in placing orders post lunch and before dinner. The survey also lime lights Italian cuisine as being the most desired grub with Pizza topping the list of items ordered.
foodpanda.in’s latest survey studied the number of the total orders placed across India including the city that tops the list of orders placed, the timings of those orders, the favourite cuisine and the oft-ordered dishes between 3 pm and 7 pm. Bengaluru being the Silicon Valley of India with a major population of young working professionals beats the other cities when it comes to ordering food between 3pm – 7pm, with 18 per cent of the total orders across India coming from this city. This is followed by Pune (16 per cent), Delhi (16 per cent), Mumbai (11 per cent), Gurgaon (10 per cent), Hyderabad (nine per cent), Kolkata ( four per cent), others (16 per cent).
Also, while Italian cuisine comes across as the most obvious choice for food in between meals at 32 per cent, it is closely followed by Chinese (24 per cent) and Fast Food (17 per cent). Meanwhile, Japanese and Hyderabadi cuisine seems to have lost the gourmet game by being the last options preferred by foodies. Salads and Sandwiches ( eight per cent), North-Indian Mughlai (seven per cent), Multi-cuisine (three per cent) and South Indian ( two per cent) make up the rest of the least preferred choices with Bakery items and Ice-creams recording only one per cent of orders placed.
Bengaluru, Pune, Delhi and Mumbai being cosmopolitan cities, are taking the online food-ordering trend to new heights. The popular Italian and Chinese cuisine are still the most-cherished among patrons. The survey also points out that people love a desi twist to their continental preferences like the Tandoori Paneer Pizza.
