As Ramadan unfolds across the country, smartphones are once again shaping how people navigate daily routines. From traffic updates to prayer schedules, much of life now fits into a handheld screen. This year, even the familiar question of which mosque is serving biryani at iftar has found a digital answer.

A new app called ‘Biryani Dibe’ has gone viral on social media for a simple but culturally resonant idea. It provides real-time updates on which mosques are serving biryani during iftar, allowing users to check in advance before heading out.
The app was developed by Abdullah Al Jubayer Prince, a Computer Science and Engineering student at the International University of Business Agriculture and Technology. Prince, who is currently studying at the private university in the capital, said the idea grew out of a trend he had long observed online.
During Ramadan, social media feeds in Bangladesh often fill with light-hearted posts and memes about mosque iftar meals, particularly when biryani or tehari is served. Though these dishes are widely enjoyed year-round at home or in restaurants, there is a distinct excitement around the communal versions offered at mosques.
Drawing from that shared cultural moment, Abdullah Al Jubayer Prince built a website and mobile platform where users can add live locations. The system allows people to share information about where biryani is being distributed, while others can check which mosque is serving the dish on a given day.
The concept is playful, but its mechanics are straightforward. Users contribute updates, creating a live map of iftar opportunities. In doing so, the app turns a recurring online joke into a practical, crowd-sourced service.
Since its launch, ‘Biryani Dibe’ has generated a wave of humorous reactions and comments across social media platforms. Many users have treated it as both a convenience and a continuation of Ramadan’s online culture, where food, faith and humour often intersect.
For Prince, the project reflects how local traditions can inspire simple technological solutions. In a season marked by community gatherings and shared meals, the app adds a new digital layer to an old ritual — one that is already part of the public conversation each year.
