मिनिमम ऑर्डर कितना है?

You can use this phrase exactly as it is. It is a complete question. If you are at a shop, just point or look at the clerk. If you are on the phone, say it clearly. It is direct and gets the job point across fast. No need for complex grammar here.

Use it when you are ordering home delivery. It is great for small cafes or boutique shops. Use it when you see a 'Free Delivery' sign. Usually, those signs have a catch! It is also helpful when ordering custom items like wedding cards or t-shirts.

Don't use this at a high-end luxury showroom. It might sound a bit too 'budget-conscious' there. Avoid it at a street vegetable vendor. They usually sell by weight, not by an 'order' limit. Also, don't use it if the price is already clearly listed. It might make you look like you aren't paying attention!

India has a massive 'home delivery' culture. From local grocery stores (Kirana) to giant apps, everyone delivers. Because delivery costs money, shops set a limit. This phrase became a staple with the rise of Zomato and Swiggy. It reflects the middle-class habit of checking for the best deal. We love our 'free delivery' but hate the extra fees!

You might hear Kam se kam kitna order hai? which is the more traditional Hindi version. Some people just say Minimum kitna hai? to keep it even shorter. In a more formal setting, you could say Minimum order ki seema kya hai? but that sounds a bit like a textbook. Stick to the Hinglish version for a natural vibe.
