Delivery within Al Ain
Eligible packaged-food pickup from restaurants and cafés
We collect a café, restaurant or shop order you placed and paid for with the seller, sealed or lidded by the seller — hot or iced drinks, takeaway meals and other prepared food — and sealed, shelf-stable items. Everything travels as packed, without temperature control. No other hot, chilled or frozen food.
Can we collect this?

Not included

- The item must be ready, securely packed and suitable for ordinary road transport.

- We do not offer exact pickup or arrival times. Confirm that the sender can hand over the item during the available delivery window.
