Indians consumed north Indian and Chinese food the most in 2016, according to Zomato's year-end consumer trends report.
According to the food discovery and ordering website, Delhi has the maximum number of restaurants among all the cities, numbering at 15,600. However, Kolkata seems to be more obsessed with its food than the Indian capital, with 85 out of 1,000 users uploading photos on the website, the highest for any city. Delhi also spent the maximum amount of money on an average order (Rs 522), and Pune spent the least (Rs 362).

Zomato also revealed that there were variations in the dishes people looked for at different times of the year. While biryani was the most sought after dish during Eid, demand for buffet peaked during new year's eve. Pizza remained a highly-searched option throughout the year. Dinner was the most ordered meal of the day, followed by lunch and breakfast, with the website getting its highest traffic between 8 and 9 pm. Weekends seem to be especially popular for eating out -- Zomato gets 1.5 times more visits on Sunday than on other days.
