Careem has launched a three-course lunch deal for only Dhs29 in Abu Dhabi
Flying solo for lunch again? We've all been there – scrolling through endless menus, only to end up overpaying for a meal-for-one that didn't exactly hit the spot anyway.
But now there's a slick new solution from Careem that's here to save your midday munch. Say hello to Meals:On.
Launching in Abu Dhabi, Meals:On is Careem Food's newest feature and it's tailor-made for the city's solo diners. The idea is simple: curated, quality meal deals from top Abu Dhabi spots – all under Dhs29. We're talking mains, sides and drinks bundled together for less than the price of your favourite brunch drink.
Here's why this is a game-changer: over 64 percent of Careem Food's customers in the UAE usually order for one, especially during lunch. Inspired by Careem's 2022 acquisition of solo-meal platform Munch:On, Meals:On was rebuilt from scratch to streamline lunch breaks and late-night cravings for solo foodies across the capital.
And there's more good news. If you're a Careem Plus member, delivery is totally free – even if your meal costs just Dhs15. That means no more feeling guilty about ordering dinner for one or padding your basket just to hit a minimum spend.
You'll find dishes from your Abu Dhabi faves like:
Wagamama
Wingstop
Just Burger
Papa Johns
Allo Beirut
Zaatar w Zeit
Right Bite
Barbar
Costa
Sushi Do
(And more).
Careem's promising even more coming soon, including options for couples, small group bundles, meal planning and scheduling. And Dubai, you're up next.
So if your midday meetings are running long and your fridge is looking sad, fire up the Careem app, hit Meals:On and order something delicious without breaking the bank – or your lunch break.
