365telugu.com online news, Hyderabad, 8th August, 2025: Known for its fiery chutneys and authentic Rayalaseema dosas, Panchakattu Dosa has grown from a single food truck in 2019 to five outlets across Hyderabad, with two more on the way. Since onboarding on Zomato, its yearly orders have jumped from around 1,500 in 2020 to over 1.5 lakh in 2024, marking a 101x growth, all while keeping its street-side charm intact.
Speaking on their journey, Naga Bharana Chilamakuri, Founder, Panchakattu Dosa said, “At Panchakattu, we strive to ensure that each meal is simple, soulful and steeped in Rayalaseema tradition. Onboarding on Zomato has helped us share this love for our cuisine with a large number of customers, enabling us to grow at a rapid pace.”
Aditya Mangla, CEO – Food delivery business, Eternal, said, “It’s inspiring to see brands like Panchakattu Dosa grow rapidly while also staying true to cultural roots. We feel privileged to be able to support their journey by offering the tools, insights, and visibility they need to serve their customers better. Helping restaurants grow on our platform is a top priority for us.”
Naga Bharana Chilamakuri, who hails from the dosa-loving region of Rayalaseema, always dreamt of starting his own restaurant. That dream took shape in 2019 when he launched a humble food truck, serving fresh, flavour-packed dosas to locals in Hyderabad.
What began as a small venture soon gained popularity, giving rise to Panchakattu Dosa, a brand built on a simple promise: familiar flavours, served with honesty and at pocket-friendly prices.
Encouraged by growing customer love, the food truck gradually transitioned into a dine-in format, expanding to meet rising demand while holding on to the street-side warmth that defined its beginnings. Today, Panchakattu Dosa runs five outlets across the city, with two more set to open by year-end.
Since onboarding on Zomato, the brand has:
● Grown 101x times in 4 years, with yearly orders increasing from around 1,500 in 2020 to over 1.5 lakh in 2024
● Expanded to five outlets; extended lunch hours to tap into a wider customer base
● Introduced lunchtime combos and strategic add-ons to boost order value, re-engineered its menu with consistent images and clear descriptions
To help small restaurants scale quickly, Zomato has introduced several initiatives in recent years. These include a DIY onboarding tool that helps restaurants get listed on the platform in just 15 minutes, and access to the Restaurant Services Hub, a curated marketplace of verified vendors offering licensing, staffing, and hygiene audit services.
In select cities, new restaurants also benefit from 0% commission for the first 30 days, along with credits for ads and Hyperpure services. As of Q1 FY26, Zomato has an average of 313,000 monthly active food ordering and delivery restaurant partners on the platform.
