Most UAE stores do best on more than one delivery app, but each platform works a little differently. Here is a simple way to compare them. Always confirm current terms and fees with each platform.
Talabat
A large food and grocery platform. It offers groceries through its own talabat mart service and through local grocery and retail partners, as well as thousands of restaurants.
InstaShop
A grocery and retail marketplace for supermarkets, pharmacies, beauty and personal care. Talabat acquired InstaShop in March 2025, and InstaShop continues as an independent brand within talabat's Grocery and Retail business.
Careem
Careem Food serves restaurants. Careem Quik delivers groceries from Careem's own dark stores, so it works mainly through supplier and brand partnerships.
Deliveroo
Deliveroo works with restaurants and, in some areas, grocery and retail partners.
Keeta
Keeta is the international delivery platform from Meituan. It launched in Dubai in September 2025 and reached all seven emirates within about 90 days, with a strong focus on restaurant partners.
How to choose
Start where your customers already order. Compare commission and terms, check you can manage orders and stock on each app, and keep one clean catalog you can reuse everywhere.
