Potnis Biryani: How a Pune Doctor Created a Celebrity-Favourite Brand
What began as a passion project by a Pune-based doctor has now become one of the city’s most iconic biryani destinations—Potnis Biryani. Known for its rich flavours and secret spice blends, the brand has built a loyal following, including celebrities like M.S. Dhoni, Rahul Dravid, and several Bollywood stars.
Founded by Dr. Potnis, the biryani venture started small but quickly gained fame through word of mouth. Today, it operates a central kitchen in Warje, often drawing foodies from across Maharashtra. Some fans from Mumbai even send couriers or friends to Pune just to pick up parcels.
What sets Potnis Biryani apart is its consistent quality, homestyle preparation, and a recipe that balances tradition with taste. It’s not just food—it’s a local legacy. As the doctor-turned-entrepreneur continues to expand his culinary footprint, Potnis Biryani remains a testament to passion-driven success.
