Leveraging this insight, Chennai-based Bai Veetu Kalyanam or BVK Biryani has launched a first-of-its-kind unmanned takeaway ordering experience centre in Kolathur, Chennai.

Touted to be India's first and a unique experience for biryani lovers, the process of ordering from the takeaway service is pretty simple.
