Whether eating out still makes you feel a bit uncomfortable, or you’re just a modern day Carrie Bradshaw who’d rather user her oven for shoe storage, we can think of tonnes of reasons why ordering in > cooking.

As part of our very first Takeout awards, we have scoured the whole of Talabat to find the very best spots that’ll get you your money’s worth. This is for when pay day is so far away. 

Legit the *best* deals that money can buy.

PINZA

If this delivery cost as much as it tasted good, I’d be broke. Unreal food and aesthetically pleasing packaging with an affordable price tag? Yes ma’am!

Dhs15 for an entire plate of spaghetti and a fried chicken wing? Deceased (and also rich).

MALAK TAWOUK

I enjoyed a long (really long) tawouk wrap for only several dirhams. If you’ve invited a bunch of friends over and can’t actually afford to pay for all of them, open up that Talabat app and scroll straight for Malak Al Tawouk.

PAPA MURPHY’S  

Sometimes takeout in Dubai can get especially expensive (especially if you’re ordering as often as I am), so some days you just need a low-maintenance meal with portions that’ll fi ll you up and a price tag that won’t break the bank, with portions that’ll fill you up as well – obvs. This is where Papa Murphy’s comes in. Order the pizza. You can never go wrong with pizza.
