About This Poll
The battle between Haldiram's and Bikanervala has been raging among Indian snack enthusiasts for decades, with both brands representing the pinnacle of traditional Indian namkeen and sweets. Haldiram's, founded in 1937, has become a household name across India with its extensive range of packaged snacks, frozen foods, and restaurant chains. The brand is particularly famous for its bhujia, mathri, and ready-to-eat meals that have made Indian flavors accessible worldwide. Bikanervala, originating from the snack capital Bikaner in Rajasthan, has built its reputation on authentic Rajasthani delicacies and premium sweets. Known for their fresh mithai, namkeen varieties, and restaurant-style dining experiences, Bikanervala maintains a more boutique approach compared to Haldiram's mass market presence. Food lovers often debate which brand offers better taste, quality, and value for money. Haldiram's supporters praise the consistency and wide availability of products, while Bikanervala enthusiasts swear by the authentic flavors and premium ingredients. Both brands have successfully expanded beyond their Indian roots, establishing international presence in countries with large Indian diaspora populations. The choice between these snack giants often comes down to personal taste preferences, regional availability, and whether you prioritize traditional authenticity or modern convenience in your Indian snack experience.
