foodpanda
foodpanda is the main delivery app in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad.
Editorial pick based on which app actually has restaurants AND working couriers in this city. Coverage shifts — apps pull out of markets all the time.
Careem
Careem dominates Pakistan; Uber is the foreign-familiar second option. inDrive operates with fare-negotiation. Bykea is the local bike-hailing app.
