SHIRAZ GOLDEN RESTURANT

Executive Summary

Shiraz Golden Restaurant, established in 1941, is a landmark of authentic Awadhi cuisine and the pioneer of the “Shiraz-e-Biryani.” Despite its 84-year legacy and 100% brand recall in Kolkata, the digital presence needed to bridge the gap between “old-school heritage” and “modern-day foodie culture” to capture younger demographics and international audiences in Dubai.

The Challenge

  • Legacy vs. Freshness: Maintaining the “classic” feel without looking dated.

  • The “Girls in Cars” Problem: Historic perceptions often saw the original locations as male-dominated spaces; social media needed to showcase the new, “swanky” family-friendly ambiance of modern branches like Daawat-e-Shiraz.

  • High Competition: Standing out in a saturated market where every joint claims to have “authentic biryani.”

Our Strategy: "The Royal Modernist"

 

A. Visual Storytelling & Behind-the-Scenes

We moved away from static posters to high-definition Reels and Carousels.

  • The Dum Pukht Secret: Showcased the traditional slow-cooking method over low flames in sealed containers.
  • Heritage Series: Posted archival-style content about the restaurant’s 1941 origins and its link to Nawab Wajid Ali Shah.
B. Influencer & Celebrity Social Proof

Leveraging Shiraz’s history as a celebrity magnet (from MS Dhoni to Ranbir Kapoor), we curated content around these visits to validate the “legend” status for Gen Z.

  • Action: Reshared customer mentions and influencer reviews to build community trust.
C. Trend Integration
  • Audio & Transitions: Used trending audio for food-prep reels (e.g., the rhythmic “Rumali Roti” toss) to increase organic reach.
  • Event Pre-Promotion: For festivals like Ramadan, Eid, and New Year, we ran countdowns and sneak peeks of special menus (like the legendary Firni and Haleem).

Results & Impact

  • Brand Awareness: Ad campaigns targeting local foodies resulted in a significant uptick in impressions and “Save” rates for signature dish posts.

  • Increased Footfall: Targeted “Ladies’ Night” and event-based ads led to higher physical attendance at newer branches.

  • Community Growth: A surge in User-Generated Content (UGC) as customers began tagging the restaurant in “Biryani Boomerangs,” which we then featured in curated Instagram Highlights.
