Tell the DealsBanana story.
If you're writing about food tech, regional cuisine, or the changing economics of restaurant coupon marketing — we'd love to talk.
About DealsBanana
DealsBanana is the first dedicated coupon marketplace for biryani, mithai, chai, and more in the United States. Founded in 2026 on biryani, we now connect diners with verified restaurants, sweet shops, cafés, and bakeries — from regional biryani styles (Hyderabadi dum, Lucknowi, Kolkata, Sindhi, vegetarian, and beyond) to mithai, chai, and baked goods. Businesses subscribe to a plan to publish coupons; diners browse and claim them, then redeem in person via a QR code. Every business is hand-vetted, and biryani coupons are additionally tagged by style, meat type, spice level, and halal certification.

Brand voice in one paragraph
DealsBanana is editorial, opinionated, and proudly specific. We don't talk like a generic food app. We talk like the friend in your group chat who has Strong Opinions about whether the dum was actually dum. Warm, knowledgeable, occasionally cheeky — never bro-y.
