Hani Foods

What Hani Foods does

Hani Foods (صنایع غذایی هانی) is a privately held Iranian food company that produces and distributes ready-made traditional Iranian dishes. Founded as a single restaurant in Tehran's Meydan-e Qiyam square in 1977 by Haj Akbar Kebritchi, the company subsequently transitioned into industrial food manufacturing and now operates an integrated production facility on Khatavaran Road in Tehran. The product portfolio comprises 24 SKUs organized into stews (khorish), main courses (khorak), rice dishes (polo), and grilled items (kebab), with examples including Ghormeh Sabzi, Fesenjan, Mirza Ghasemi, and Saffron Kebab. Production is governed by a three-stage quality control system backed by an on-site laboratory approved by the Iranian Standards Organization and the Food and Drug Administration, using autoclave sterilization to enable preservative-free shelf stability.

The business operates across five distinct revenue streams: factory-produced packaged foods sold wholesale and via the company's own online shop (shop.hanifoods.com); a chain of more than 10 restaurant branches spread across Tehran's south-to-north corridor including locations in HyperStar, Iran Mall, Royal Complex, and Bazar-e Moble; corporate and institutional catering to government and private organizations with customizable menus and calorie-level programs; a customer loyalty program (Bashgah-e Moshtarian) with presence in major malls; and an international export channel operated under the Hani International division with published export pricing and partner onboarding. The company employs between 501 and 1,000 people and markets through a Persian-language website, an Instagram handle (hanireadyfoods), a Facebook page (hani_restaurants), and a content blog.

The company remains family-owned with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or public listing. The website references operations continuing through 2023, and the most recent product listings and restaurant branch additions indicate active channel and SKU expansion. However, no revenue, profitability, or unit-volume data is publicly disclosed, limiting quantitative triangulation of company performance.
