Online Food Delivery

Food to your doorstep and pay an extra 5 bucks or drive to a restaurant? Well, we choose the former every single time we can, don’t we?

Time is money and money is time. The world is moving fast and so should we. Be it in the food court or a restaurant, we got no time to wait for our meals. Most people in UAE choose to have their Pizza’s delivered and a McD breakfast come to your doorstep. Technology has turned our imaginations into reality through apps with every single restaurant, cafe, and fast food chain available to order in a click of a button. Here are some food delivery apps that are popular in Dubai that I love:

Uber EATS

I have used them many times now. With regular discounts and promotions, their food delivery is quick and efficient. They also recently had an offer of meals for Dhs 25 only — some were buy 1 get 1 free while some were free drinks, meals, and more.

Zomato App

While you can order here with discounts from Credit cards and promo codes, you can also gain zomato credits through referrals. Use this promo code (MELI7683) for your first order of Dhs. 50 and above in any restaurant and get a discount of Dhs. 20! While you can order and eat, you can also apply for Zomato Gold membership for meals and drinks. Eat, drink, review, repeat.

Talabat App

Almost similar to Uber EATS in terms of discounts and promo codes, it too has a great selection. It also is the largest online food delivery platform in the Middle East!


Food delivery apps like the ones mentioned above can:

  1. Increase order as 70% of people choose to eat and order in from restaurants than cook at home.
  2. Business Promotion as it can push notifications on special offers.
  3. Cost effective due to a vast choice and discounts.
  4. Feedback tool as businesses can receive a feedback on their delivery and food along with data on what is fast selling so as to improve the business.
