As Ramadan draws to an end, talabat takes a look at interesting trends in Qatar and across the region during the first half of the holy month. This includes local favorite cuisines, dishes, popular times people get their everyday groceries, and a look at the regions’ ongoing generosity.
Indulging in your favorite choices:
This Ramadan, people loved ordering from their local favorites in Qatar, with fine Kunafa, being the most popular dish from your local favorite Al Nashama Restaurant and Sweets, Al Muntazah. Additionally, as Ramadan is a month of togetherness when families and loved ones meet to share a meal and create priceless memories. More than 18,000 group meals were ordered during Iftar in Qatar, making it the most popular time people came together in Ramadan.
Last but not least, let's not forget our love for coffee! This year, double caramel frappuccino was conquered, with more than 5,800 ordered in Qatar, between 5 pm to 8 pm. After all, it's never too late in the day to chase the ultimate caffeine kick!
talabat Mart for everyday convenience:
Our technology brings convenience to customers, giving them back the time to do what they love, and in Ramadan that means skipping that trip to the grocery store!

Large orders were also popular, with the biggest having 381 items and for a value of over QAR 3029.75. Lastly, a Ramadan staple has shown a rise in popularity with Vimto being ordered 5 times more ahead of the holy month than during the rest of the year in the region!

As the region that always gives back, we are humbled to facilitate giving back during Ramadan:
Customers around the region were as always generous when it came to supporting those in need and donating to virtual charities through the talabat platform, with Fridays being the day customers donate the most across the region during the first half of Ramadan.

These initiatives are a part of talabat’s ongoing efforts to support the community during the holy month. The sum total of donations raised during Ramadan is QAR1,286,901.80. The total number of meals donated is 54,093.

It's that easy to make a difference!
