Some of us at FindYogi recently had a tough time looking for food delivery services for lunch and dinner. We ended up discovering a lot of startups, most of these still in their first 6 months of the service.

These are not restaurant food deliveries like JustEat or FoodPanda, but mostly homechefs. In the valley terms, these are more of Uber for Food in India. SpoonRocket is the closest equivalent in the Valley. Though Uber’s UberFresh does restaurant food but for consumers the experience is almost same.

Here’s the list, in no particular order, of “Uber for Food” startups in India
