Rosogollas from Kolkata, Mysore Pak from Bengaluru: Zomato's new project

Want to order rosogollas from Kolkata or mysore pak from Bengaluru? If your taste in food crosses the boundaries of your city, then this could be for you.

Online food delivery platform Zomato has started a pilot project to deliver unique food from any city in India to different parts of the country.


Founder & CEO Deepinder Goyal in his blogpost listed it thus: "Legendary dishes like baked rosogollas from Kolkata, biryani from Hyderabad, Mysore Pak from Bengaluru, kebabs from Lucknow, butter chicken from Old Delhi, or pyaaz kachori from Jaipur..."

Deliver it anywhere from India and it shall be delivered the next day : that's what they promise.

On the Zomato app, it's called 'Intercity Legends'. The pilot is on now for select customers in Gurugram and parts of South Delhi.

Goyal said Zomato is doing this using its "vast network of restaurant partners and delivery partners, deep understanding of food technology, and insights into what our customers love."

He said mobile refrigeration technology preserves the food without the need to freeze it or add any kind of preservatives.

"The food is freshly prepared by the restaurant and packed in reusable and tamper-proof containers to keep it safe during air transit," he wrote.

Currently, Zomato orders are restricted to localities within 7-10 km radius of its restaurant partners.

"With over a 100 airports and a rich spread of the most iconic dishes that India has to offer, the sky is the limit to how big Intercity Legends can become," Goyal said.
