What to know about Food Delivery in Kenya

Glovo is the strongest first food and grocery delivery download for a visitor, with active Kenyan operations and a large merchant base. Uber Eats and Bolt Food are useful price, restaurant and delivery-time comparisons. All three remain active as of the research date, but coverage is address-specific and the merchant list can change from one neighborhood to the next. Uber Eats currently publishes areas in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Uasin Gishu and selected neighboring counties. Glovo opened a new Africa support hub in Nairobi in May 2026, which confirms that older claims of a Kenyan exit are wrong. Uber announced an offer to acquire Delivery Hero in July 2026, and the proposed transaction includes Glovo's Kenyan operation, but it has not made Glovo and Uber Eats one service today. Enter the exact map pin, building or hotel name, entrance instructions and a recognizable landmark. Keep the order phone reachable because couriers commonly call. Check the complete total, delivery charge and available payment method before checkout; do not assume every foreign card will work. Save the confirmation and use the in-app support record if an item is missing or a refund is delayed. Recent local discussions report fee, refund and customer-service problems across platforms, so keep a direct restaurant or backup meal option. For allergies or dietary restrictions, obtain clear confirmation from the restaurant rather than relying only on a short order note.
