Best Food Delivery apps in Sri Lanka (2026)

A major restaurant and grocery delivery option in Colombo and other supported Sri Lankan zones.

Pro tip: Compare the complete checkout total with PickMe and the restaurant's own channel, not just the advertised discount.

PickMe app icon

The same local super-app used for rides also provides food and grocery delivery where supported.

Pro tip: Set a precise pin and add the property entrance and a landmark. Compare fees and ETA before choosing it over Uber Eats.

PickMe Food lives inside the same PickMe app used for rides, so a separate PickMe Food download is unnecessary. Delivery is most practical in Colombo and other supported towns; the address entered in each app determines the actual restaurant selection. Compare the final total rather than the headline discount. Local comparisons show that menu prices, delivery fees, service charges, taxes and promotions can make the same order materially different across the restaurant's own channel, Uber Eats and PickMe.

Enter the property name, exact entrance, map pin, nearby landmark and a reachable phone number. Drivers may call because street addressing is inconsistent. Check the ETA before paying, order early in heavy rain or at peak times and keep a direct restaurant number or another meal option when timing matters. Inspect the order promptly and report missing or damaged items through the platform while the evidence is fresh.

Cash can be a useful fallback if a foreign card is rejected, but the available methods vary by account and merchant. For a serious allergy, call the restaurant as well as writing a note. Explain both the ingredient and cross-contact risk because the app cannot verify kitchen practices.
