Swiggy celebrates vegetarian favourites with first-ever Green Dot Awards
National – 31 July 2024: Swiggy, India’s pioneering on-demand convenience platform, has launched its first-ever Green Dot Awards, spotlighting the restaurants selling the best in vegetarian food across the country. Six of the country’s top 10 most ordered dishes are vegetarian, this includes, Masala Dosa, Paneer Butter Masala, Margherita Pizza and Pav Bhaji.
According to Swiggy’s order analysis, Bangalore isn’t just the Silicon Valley of India—it’s the Veggie Valley too. With 1 in every 3 vegetarian orders originating from the city. The city’s top vegetarian dishes were Masala Dosa, Paneer Biryani, and Paneer Butter Masala. while in Mumbai, Dal Khichdi, Margherita Pizza, and Aamchi Mumbai’s iconic Pav Bhaji reign supreme. Hyderabad finishes in the top three, loving their Masala Dosa and Idli.
As expected, Breakfast is the golden hour for vegetarian orders, with over 90% of breakfast orders being vegetarian. Masala Dosa, Vada, Idli, and Pongal topped the morning charts. Masala Dosa enjoys nation-wide popularity and is a popular choice for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Margherita Pizza takes the lead as the most popular snack with Samosa and Pav Bhaji trailing close behind. Even international QSR chains are seeing a surge in vegetarian orders.
Feeling green already? You’re not alone! On average, a whopping 60,000+ veg salad orders are placed weekly on Swiggy, as more folks crunch their way to a healthier lifestyle. Top pick? Green Salad. Vegans have also made a strong mark, with Swiggy Guiltfree witnessing a significant 146% rise in vegan orders last year.
