Planning a party, a big family dinner, or an office event should be a happy time. But often, the simple act of trying to order bulk biryani in Hyderabad is a frustrating mess of clunky forms, confusing prices, and wondering if your order even went through.
We knew there had to be a better, simpler, more human way.
So we built one. To understand why, you first have to know our story.
Our Legacy: We Grew With Your Celebrations
Our story has always been about one thing: serving you.
Back in 2006, at our first Narayanguda branch, we noticed something. Students and young professionals loved our authentic Hyderabadi biryani, but a full plate was expensive for a daily meal. So, we created the Single Chicken Biryani, a generous, high-quality 700g serving at just ₹50.
It was our way of making sure everyone could enjoy a great meal. You loved it, and it soon became a standard across Hyderabad.
As our customers' lives grew, so did their celebrations. You asked us for a way to share that same fresh, dum-cooked Mehfil taste at your parties and family gatherings.
And so, the Mehfil Handi Biryani was born.
We were one of the first to create the "Single Biryani" for your daily meal and the "Handi Biryani" for your special gatherings.
The Old Way Was Broken. We Built a Better Way.
The Handi Biryani became a part of your celebrations, but over the years, ordering one online became complicated. We hated that.
So we built a new web app from scratch. We designed it to be as simple and reliable as the biryani you love. It’s not a form; it’s a simple 3-step conversation that takes less than a minute.

Your Questions, Answered
How many people does one Handi really serve?
Our Handis are generous. The 40-member Handi is perfect for 40 people, and the 50-member Handi serves 50. We've built our legacy on great value, so you can be confident you'll have plenty.
How do I pay for the order?
It's simple and secure. After you submit your request on the app, our branch manager will call you to confirm. They will arrange payment with you directly over the phone. No online payment forms needed.
Is this the same biryani I get in the restaurant?
Yes. It's the exact same authentic, high-quality Mehfil dum biryani you love, just prepared in a larger Handi for your gathering.
How far in advance do I need to order?
To make sure we can prepare it fresh with the authentic 'dum' process, we recommend ordering at least 24 hours (one day) in advance. This gives us the time we need to perfectly cook your Handi, whether it's for one or for five or more.
