Missing the weekly dine out day? Or a nice delectable meal, out in a fancy restaurant? With the current lock down situation, I doubt any of us will be able to have that experience, any time soon. But, we can enjoy at least enjoy delectable meals from the comfort and safety of our homes. The UAE has some pretty good delivery apps that can bring your favorite food, from any restaurant in the country to your doorstep. Here are some of the best ones you must make a note of:
1. Uber Eats
Browse, order, track, enjoy. That’s the heavenly 4 step totally online process when you order from Uber Eats. First browse from a wide plethora of restaurants and eateries. If you’re not sure what to eat, you can scroll through the feed of divine pictures of food. Pick a place of your choice, and then go ahead and place your order. So browse and order, both check. Next to each restaurant, a specific range of time is mentioned, 15-20 minutes, 30-40 minutes etc. It states the time it would take to order that particular food. So if you’re ordering a steak, obviously it would take a lot more time, than if you were simply ordering a salad.
You can then track your order on a map, where you have access to the name, number, and picture of your delivery man. Then finally once it reaches you, enjoy! The delivery fee ranges from AED 4-10, depending on the distance from the restaurant to your home.

6. Eateasy
On this application, all you have to do is type in your location and a bunch of restaurants will pop up. Each restaurant will have a different time frame for how long the delivery will take, the delivery fee (some are even free), and if the eatery requires a minimal order. It also has a number out of 5 next to each restaurant name, which is an online rating of how good the food is.
7. Careem Now
Similar to the concept of Uber eats, Careem now is one of the most economical food delivery apps in the country. With Careem now, you can track your food order from when it’s being cooked in the kitchen, to when its in the car being delivered to your home. They also offer many good deals, offers, and discounts on different restaurants.
8. Any Restaurant You Want
Now, most restaurants have their own delivery service. Whether it be any of the fast food joints, or even Indian restaurants like gazebo or Delhi Darbar, many of them deliver their own food. So sometimes, you don’t need to use any specific applications. Just google the food you want, choose the restaurant you like, and order away! Don’t let the home confinement inhibit you from having a yummy delectable meal.
