It also reaffirms talabat’s core brand promise of making customers’ preferred products easily accessible.
Groceries made easy
For a convenient start to the school year, users can enjoy up to 40 percent discount on their talabat mart grocery orders. This allows families to stock up on fresh produce and pantry essentials, making meal preparation and lunchbox packing easier, faster and cost effective.

Stationery, retail essentials
