Using the power of Uber's technology, we are going to help Malaysians enjoy the food they want, right now - at the touch of a button."
Areas currently served by UberEATS include KL city centre, Bangsar, and Damansara Heights, with plans in motion to expand their coverage areas
The app currently hosts more than 200 restaurants, offering a wide range of cuisine from favourite local eats to Western classics. Notable operators include Kayu Nasi Kandar, Baba Low's, Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa, Inside Scoop, and Mikey's Pizza.
The food delivery service is available from 9am to 12am daily.
Both halal and non-halal restaurants are available on the app, and UberEATS works closely with JAKIM to ensure that their halal items are delivered according to the set guidelines
Halal food items are packed and sealed separately from non-halal items to ensure that they are fit for consumption by their Muslim users.
