1) Foodpanda

Despite receiving consistently mixed feedback online, Foodpanda has retained its position as the reigning queen of the food delivery ecosystem. The app has a rather ubiquitous delivery network from its main centres such as Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad up to Mardan, Kamoke, Sheikhupura, and beyond.

2) Careem

Careem’s escalation as one of the major players in the food delivery business has been nothing short of a success story. With delicious discounts, myriad restaurants and quirky push notification (SMS) strategy, Careem NOW arrived. (The fact that their restaurants are sub-divided into ‘the busy ones (quick delivery)’, ‘the precise ones’ and ‘the regulars’, makes life so much easier!)

3) Airlift Express

With a rating of 4.5 on Play Store, Airlift Express offers the convenience of one-tap grocery shopping for the busybodies out there. The app offers a wide range of products from cosmetics, cooking/baking essentials, household supplies and electronic items to dairy, frozen meat, bakery items, organic produce and more.

4) Uber Eats

Uber Eats is a desi foodie’s haven, offering easy access to eateries such as Karahi Boys, Makkah Restaurant, Zam Zam Tikka, Kabab, and many other leading players in the desi food game.

5) Munchies

Technically, this is not a food delivery app but hey, groceries and snacks are just as important – right? Munchies is the new kid on the block with a whole lot of personality and promise. Into a newfound French whodunit and craving a good munch? Munchies delivers snacks, confectioneries and bakery items in less than 30 minutes. You can also order frozen food and ice cream tubs that come in handy when guests pop in unannounced.
