Best Food Delivery apps in Kenya (2026)

Glovo app icon

GlovoEssential

The strongest first Kenyan app for restaurant, grocery and convenience delivery where the entered address is served.

Pro tip: Set the exact entrance and add a landmark. Review every fee and payment method before checkout, then keep the order confirmation until delivery is complete.

Uber Eats app icon

Uber Eats

A useful delivery alternative in its published Kenyan service areas, especially for travelers with an existing Uber account.

Pro tip: Coverage is address-specific. Compare the final total and ETA with Glovo, keep the phone reachable and have another payment or meal option if checkout fails.

Bolt Food app icon

Bolt Food

A current restaurant and grocery delivery comparison in supported Kenyan neighborhoods, with cash, card or Bolt balance at checkout.

Pro tip: Check the entered address and complete total before ordering. Promotions do not prove the final order is cheaper, and refund handling can take time.

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.
