The House of Biryan has raised a $2m investment from Al Siraj Holdings, Angel Star Ventures and high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) from the US.
The funding, announced on 10 July 2024, brings the total capital secured by the company to $3m, the Economic Times has reported.
The restaurant chain aims to significantly scale its operations, targeting 100,000 orders monthly and striving to surpass Rs1bn ($11,980,000) in annual recurring revenue (ARR) by December 2025.
House of Biryan co-founder Mohammed Bhol said: “Our success lies in keeping things simple by delivering a biryani within 30 minutes.”
The company’s strategy focuses on deepening its offerings in biryani and kebabs, along with Mughlai and North Indian cuisine, rather than expanding into multiple brands.
This approach reflects the effect of quick commerce on customer behaviour and sentiment.
