House of Biryani (HoB), a fast-growing food-tech platform that delivers directly to consumers, has secured ₹32 crore (about $3.66 million) in its latest funding round. Bestvantage Investments led the round, with participation from cricket legend MS Dhoni, Mohit Goyal (formerly of CVC Capital), Abhineet Singh (Al Siraj Holdings), and senior people from SoftBank, Kedara, and APAX. This new funding is a key moment for HoB as it expands rapidly in the Indian market.
The company previously raised $2 million in July 2024 from Al Siraj Holdings and Angel Star Ventures, showing that investors are confident in its business model. With this fresh funding, HoB intends to expand to 120–150 outlets in the next three years, targeting revenue between ₹450–550 crore. These expansion plans make HoB one of the fastest-growing food and beverage brands in India.
Founded by chefs Mohammed Bhol and Mikhail Shahani, who have more than 25 years of experience, House of Biryani wants to make biryani a global food item, like pizza, sushi, and burgers. This ambition shows how Indian brands are expanding not just in India but also internationally.
Currently, HoB runs 22 kitchens across Mumbai, Delhi, and Dubai, serving 2.8 million customers through 4.9 million orders. About half of its Zomato traffic comes from direct searches, showing strong consumer interest. With an average rating above 4.3 and a repeat rate of 47%, the company has gotten good customer loyalty. Its ability to maintain an annual revenue of about ₹50 crore while staying profitable in core markets shows the strength of its business.
House of Biryani has already started its international expansion with a cloud kitchen in Dubai, and it plans to enter Australia, Japan, the UK, and North America. This plan shows how Indian brands are now competing globally. For investors watching brands that are growing, HoB is a good example of revenue growth with global potential.
Competing with Rebel Foods (Faasos, Behrouz Biryani), Biryani By Kilo, and other cloud kitchen brands, House of Biryani is different due to its premium positioning, celebrity investors, and consistent growth. As one of the newest brands scaling in 2025, its story shows what is happening in the Indian market today, where food and beverage brands are gaining traction.
With MS Dhoni’s support, strong investor interest, and clear revenue growth, House of Biryani is a contender for the next big success story. For those following industry news, HoB is one to watch as it grows to become one of the top brands in the category.
