Who we are
When you think of food delivery in the MENA region, we’d be pretty surprised if talabat didn’t pop
into your mind first! Since delivering our first order in Kuwait in 2004, we’ve grown quite a lot over the
past 17 years.
Today, we deliver hundreds of millions of food orders, grocery items and other products per year, to
our customers in nine countries throughout the region with more than 3,000+ employees! Our food
delivery business works with over 27,000 brands and almost 50,000 branches, while our
q-commerce concept, talabat mart, now delivers groceries to customers in Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan,
Kuwait, Oman Qatar, and the UAE in 30 minutes or less!
Our philosophy is to make sure we do what is right for our ecosystem - our customers, our partners,
our people, our riders, and the communities in which we operate. Our #techforgood program allows
our customers a safe and convenient way to contribute to important causes in their community
through donating to local and international charities directly on talabat with a focus on food
insecurity in the region. Since its inception in 2020, we have facilitated the donation of well over 1
million meals to those in need, as well as donated over $1.5 million to charity with the help of our
partners and customers. talabat is part of Delivery Hero, the global leader in online food delivery and
q-commerce.
