About the Talabat Clone

What Is a Talabat Clone App?

Talabat started in Kuwait and became the everyday delivery app of the Gulf. Its customers order across categories — dinner, the weekly shop, pharmacy essentials, a bouquet — in Arabic or English, and many still pay cash at the door. Addresses are often building, floor and apartment numbers rather than street numbers, and riders need precise directions inside large towers and compounds.

Our Talabat clone gives you the multi-vertical core: a restaurant marketplace, platform-run grocery stores with inventory, cash on delivery, a rider fleet and an admin console. For the GCC we add Arabic with right-to-left layouts, AED, SAR, KWD, QAR, BHD or OMR pricing, local gateways and Gulf phone sign-in during customisation.

  • Food and grocery mart in one app
  • Cash on delivery built in
  • Arabic + English with RTL (add-on)
  • GCC currencies and gateways (add-on)
Business model
Multi-vertical super app
Best known in
Middle East (GCC)
Best for
GCC and Middle East launches that need Arabic, COD and many verticals

Market adaptation: The core is built for India (INR, +91, English). GCC launches add Arabic/RTL, Gulf currencies and VAT, local phone sign-in and gateways such as Checkout.com, Tap or KNET — scoped per country.
