Company overview

Biryani By Kilo (often abbreviated BBK) is an Indian food‑service and delivery brand specializing in freshly “dum‑cooked” handi biryanis and a curated menu of kebabs, kormas, breads, desserts, and other Indian classics. Founded in 2015 by Kaushik Roy and Vishal Jindal, the company pioneered the concept of cooking each biryani order in an earthen handi and delivering it in the same handi to ensure freshness, authenticity, and flavour — differentiating itself from many competitors who reheat pre‑cooked food before delivery. The brand offers multiple regional variants such as Hyderabadi, Lucknowi, Kolkata, and Guntur biryanis and serves customers through an omnichannel model that includes its own website/app, dine‑in outlets, and food delivery platforms (Swiggy, Zomato). With 100+ outlets across 45+ cities in India, BBK has focused on standardized preparation processes, quality ingredients, and a strong delivery experience to build one of the largest biryani chains in the country.
