Daawat World Biryani Day: Where It All Started

Ever wondered why Biryani, a dish globally loved and locally adored, that brings people together with its diverse flavors and recipes, didn’t have its special day? We did. We believed if there were days for other foods, why not Biryani?

And just like that, World Biryani Day was introduced on the first Sunday of July 2022 to celebrate the love for Biryani and its global impact, because when a dish unites cultures, tantalizes taste buds, and sparks conversations, it’s more than just food—it’s a culinary masterpiece worth celebrating worldwide.

The roaring success of the first Daawat World Day inspired us to take the celebration to the next level. Our second-year bash was even bigger and gained global attention. This year, on July 7th, we’re celebrating the third edition of the Daawat World Biryani Day with even more excitement and grand events
