The Donne Biryani Sisters: A Story of Passion, Perseverance, and Delicious Food

Imagine two sisters, driven by a shared passion for food and entrepreneurship, turning their dream into a reality. Meet Ramya and Shweta Ravi, the dynamic duo behind RNR Donne Biryani, a Bengaluru-based food sensation that’s captured the hearts (and taste buds) of many.

It all started in November 2020, when the sisters embarked on their entrepreneurial journey with a modest investment of ₹5 lakh. They began serving donne biryani, a traditional Karnataka dish, from a small cloud kitchen in Bengaluru. The response was overwhelming, and their unique blue tin boxes became a signature element of their brand.

The COVID-19 lockdown posed a significant challenge, but Ramya and Shweta were determined to succeed. They partnered with Swiggy, leveraging the power of food delivery to reach a wider audience. A strategic social media campaign further boosted their visibility, and soon, RNR Donne Biryani became a household name.

So, what’s the secret behind their success? According to the sisters, it’s all about staying true to their roots and focusing on quality. Their authentic recipe, inspired by their grandmother, has remained unchanged since day one. Add to that their commitment to hygiene and customer satisfaction, and you have a winning formula.

As of today, RNR Donne Biryani is still thriving, with multiple locations, including a restaurant in Jayanagar. They’ve even gained popularity for their unique dishes like Drumstick Chilli and RNR Special Kshatriya Chicken Kebab. Their donne biryani, made with a 60-year-old family recipe, remains a crowd favorite.

RNR Donne Biryani’s story is a shinning example of the power of passion, perseverance, and delicious food. From humble beginnings to a thriving business, Ramya and Shweta’s journey is an inspiration to entrepreneurs and foodies alike.
