Best Food Delivery apps in Nigeria (2026)

ChowdeckEssential

Nigeria's most useful local food, grocery, and pharmacy delivery app across nine currently listed cities.

Pro tip: Register with a phone and email, pin the correct gate, and include the property name and landmark. Keep a checkout fallback for foreign-card failure.

Glovo

A current alternative for restaurant, grocery, and retail delivery, especially in Lagos and Abuja.

Pro tip: Compare the final checkout total with Chowdeck and direct ordering, then verify the exact address rather than trusting city-level availability.

Its own current help center lists Lagos, Abuja, Ibadan, Port Harcourt, Benin City, Asaba, Abeokuta, Kaduna, and Enugu, and registration uses both SMS and email verification. Glovo remains active in Nigeria and is useful for comparing restaurants, groceries, fees, and delivery coverage, particularly in Lagos and Abuja. Test the exact hotel or apartment pin because service is neighborhood-specific even inside a listed city. Nigerian addresses and estate access can confuse couriers, so add the property name, gate, landmark, and a reachable phone number.

Ask reception whether riders may enter and never leave a phone or wallet with a gate attendant. Foreign-card authorization is inconsistent across Nigerian commerce. Keep cash or another permitted checkout method available, but do not send a manual bank transfer to an unverified rider or a changed account. Compare the final total because menu prices, service fees, delivery fees, and small-order charges can differ from direct ordering.

If a restaurant accepts WhatsApp orders, confirm that the number matches its official profile before paying. Bolt Food is current in Lagos, but it does not add enough coverage to be worth a third delivery app. Uber Eats is absent. Jumia Food is permanently closed, so any old guide recommending it is outdated.

Delivery is optional, not an arrival requirement, and may be a poor choice if the rider would need to wait outside an insecure or unfamiliar gate after dark.

Not available here Uber Eats does not operate in Nigeria. Chowdeck and Glovo are the strongest visitor alternatives, while Bolt Food is available in Lagos but does not add enough coverage to the core shortlist.
