Regardless of where you live or work, a delicious meal can be yours simply by opening an app or your web browser. There are a number of online food delivery services that let you log in, choose a restaurant in your area, and have it delivered in no time, with only a couple of clicks..

Recently, I saw a tweet from Mark Essien:

So, to answer his question (PS: I don't think they're so disappointing), I asked a couple of my friends and colleagues what apps/websites they used when they wanted to order food from restaurants in their area. The best thing about most of these food delivery services is that you don't even have to speak to someone; all you have to do is open the app/website, pick the restaurant and the meal you want, and a few minutes later your food arrives; it’s really great.

Formerly known as Jaramall, they used to offer a wide range of food items, but after re-branding to Gingerbox, it decided to focus solely on delivering fruits to offices. Gingerbox has designated delivery days for offices and homes.

Foodstantly

Locations servicing: All states except Sokoto and Yobe

Foodstantly is an online marketplace that not only delivers ready to eat meals from various restaurants but also enables food vendors; restaurant owners, caterers, farmers and set up shop and sell online. The listed states on the website do not include Sokoto and Yobe.

AreaChops

Minimum Order: N500

Locations servicing: Ikoyi, Victoria Island and Lekki

Ofadahut, despite having a name using a name associated with a local brand of rice, delivers not only different types of rice but also delivers Amala, Eba and the likes. According to the website, the food ordering platform only delivers to Ikoyi, Victoria Island, Lagos Island and Lekki Phase 1. Delivery charge is as low as N100, however, there is an extra charge of N100 for orders made below the minimum order.

iSabiFood

Minimum Order: N1,000 (depending on restaurants)

Locations servicing: Abuja

iSabiFood is not just a food ordering platform, the platform also allows users to make restaurant table reservation. The platform takes orders for both local and continental dishes.

Jeun

Minimum Order: Depends on restaurants

Locations servicing: Ibadan

Jeun provides a platform for people in the city of Ibadan to order food online and have it delivered in no time. Jeun is looking forward to being the leading online food ordering platform in Nigeria but currently cater for restaurants and food lovers in Ibadan.

And of course there are independents restaurants that take orders online from their own menu alone and have the orders delivered, those in that categories include Bukkahub, Domino Pizza, Kilimanjaro Restaurants among others.

I'm positive a lot more will join the food delivery game really soon, and as a self-proclaimed foodie, nothing makes me happier.
