Talabat runs food delivery across the Middle East and stands as the region's largest platform of its kind, operating under Delivery Hero. The app long ago moved past restaurants. talabat mart delivers groceries within minutes from its own stores, and the same order can carry pharmacy items, flowers, and pet supplies. A talabat pro membership, from around 19 dirhams a month, removes delivery fees across restaurants and mart, and every order builds points toward rewards.
Day to day, people lean on the tracking screen that follows a rider from the kitchen to the door, a help centre that answers around the clock, and search filters for cuisine, dietary needs, or one specific dish. In the denser Gulf cities, a ten-minute grocery drop has become as ordinary as the evening meal order.
The business had an eventful stretch. Talabat listed on the Dubai market in December 2024, the emirate's biggest share sale that year, with its parent raising close to 2 billion dollars by selling a fifth of the company. In February 2026 Talabat pared back its outlook for the year, set aside about 150 million dollars for investment, and guided margins lower, which pushed the parent's shares down on the day.
Setting up an account confirms a phone number by SMS, and that number then carries order updates and rider calls. Someone opening a Talabat account they would rather keep off a personal or work line can pass that step with an additional virtual number.
