Top Food Delivery Apps in Morocco
Morocco's food delivery scene is limited but growing. Glovo is the dominant player, with Jumia Food as a secondary option. Delivery is concentrated in major cities — Casablanca, Marrakech, and Rabat. Smaller cities like Fez, Tangier, and Agadir have minimal delivery options. Moroccan cuisine is incredible (tagine, couscous, pastilla, harira) and delivery lets you enjoy it from the comfort of your accommodation.
Glovo
Food & Everything Delivery — Dominant PlatformGlovo is the #1 delivery platform in Morocco and the most practical option for tourists. Originally from Spain, Glovo has established strong operations across Morocco. Beyond food, Glovo delivers groceries, pharmacy items, and packages. The app accepts foreign credit cards and has French language support with some English. Restaurant selection includes local Moroccan cuisine, international chains, and cafes. Coverage is best in Casablanca, with good coverage in Marrakech and Rabat. Delivery is typically via motorcycle, which helps navigate congested medina-adjacent streets.
Jumia Food
Food Delivery — Local PlatformJumia Food is part of Jumia, Africa's largest e-commerce platform. It operates a food delivery service in Morocco, primarily in Casablanca and Rabat. The app has a decent selection of local restaurants but is more limited than Glovo. English support is minimal — the interface is mainly in French and Arabic. Foreign card acceptance is inconsistent, so cash on delivery is the safer option. Useful as a backup to Glovo but not the primary recommendation for tourists.
Grocery & Convenience Delivery
Grocery delivery in Morocco is still developing but options are available in major cities.
Glovo Grocery
Grocery Delivery — Via Glovo AppGlovo offers grocery delivery from local supermarkets and shops within the same app you use for food delivery. You can order water, snacks, basic groceries, and household items. Delivery is typically within an hour. Since you will already have Glovo installed, this is the most convenient grocery option. Available in Casablanca and Marrakech.
Marjane Online
Grocery Delivery — Supermarket ChainMarjane is Morocco's largest supermarket chain and offers limited online ordering and delivery in select areas. The service is primarily in French. Coverage and availability can be inconsistent. For most tourists, Glovo's grocery section is more practical and easier to use. Marjane is worth considering for longer stays where a full supermarket order is needed.
Tourist Reality Check
Morocco is a unique travel destination with specific delivery challenges. Here is what you need to know.
Medina Delivery Is Tricky
Many tourists in Morocco stay in riads inside the medina (old city). Medinas have narrow, winding alleys where cars and motorcycles often cannot enter. If your riad is deep inside the medina, the delivery driver cannot reach your door. You will need to meet the driver at the nearest car-accessible gate or intersection. Ask your riad host for the best meeting point. Some riads near medina entrances are easier for delivery.
French Is More Useful Than English
Morocco was a French protectorate, and French remains widely spoken and used in business. For delivery apps, French is the primary language after Arabic. English support exists but is limited. Restaurant menus are typically in French or Arabic. If you speak some French, navigating delivery apps will be much easier. Google Translate with French selected is more reliable than English in Morocco.
Moroccan Food Is Incredible
Moroccan cuisine is one of the world's great food traditions. Tagine (slow-cooked stew), couscous, pastilla (savory pastry), harira (tomato lentil soup), and msemen (flatbread) all deliver well. Many restaurants on delivery apps offer traditional Moroccan dishes at very reasonable prices. It is worth trying different restaurants for regional variations. The food scene in Marrakech and Casablanca is particularly rich.
Smaller Cities Have Limited Delivery
Food delivery in Morocco is concentrated in Casablanca, Marrakech, and Rabat. If you are visiting Fez, Tangier, Essaouira, Chefchaouen, or smaller cities, delivery options will be very limited or nonexistent. In these places, dining out, street food, or asking your riad to arrange meals is more practical than relying on delivery apps.
Tipping & Delivery Etiquette
Moroccan culture values generosity, and tipping is an important part of service interactions.
Tips Are Expected and Valued
Tipping delivery drivers 5-10 MAD (approximately $0.50-1 USD) is expected in Morocco. Moroccan culture places high value on generosity, and tips are an important part of service workers' income. When paying cash on delivery, rounding up or adding a few dirhams is the standard practice. For larger orders or difficult deliveries (such as navigating to a medina riad meeting point), a larger tip is appropriate.
Hotel & Accommodation Delivery
Delivery to your accommodation in Morocco depends heavily on its location.
Hotels Outside the Medina
Hotels in the Ville Nouvelle (new city) areas of Casablanca, Marrakech, and Rabat have standard delivery access. Modern hotels, international chains, and apartments in new developments work well with delivery. The driver comes directly to the entrance or lobby. No special arrangements needed.
Riads in the Medina
Riads deep inside the medina require special handling. The driver will deliver to the nearest car-accessible point. Ask your riad staff for the best delivery meeting point — they will know exactly where drivers can reach. Some riads near main medina gates (bab) are easier for delivery. If your riad has staff, they may be willing to walk out and collect the delivery for you, especially if you tip them for the trouble.

It depends on location. Riads in the medina are often in narrow alleys inaccessible to vehicles. You will need to meet the driver at the nearest gate or car-accessible point. Ask your riad staff for the best meeting spot. Hotels outside the medina have standard delivery access. Some riads near main gates are easier for delivery than those deep inside the medina.
Yes, cash on delivery is the standard payment method in Morocco. Most orders are paid in Moroccan dirhams (MAD) to the driver upon delivery. Glovo also accepts card payments including foreign cards. Having Moroccan cash ready is always recommended. Exchange money at the airport, your hotel, or one of the many exchange offices in tourist areas.
French is much more useful than English for delivery in Morocco. Glovo's interface works in French, restaurant menus are in French or Arabic, and drivers speak French, Arabic, or Darija (Moroccan Arabic). Having Google Translate with French ready is very helpful. Basic French food vocabulary (poulet = chicken, viande = meat, poisson = fish, legumes = vegetables) goes a long way.

It has the widest coverage across Casablanca, Marrakech, and Rabat, accepts foreign credit cards, and has a user-friendly interface. Jumia Food is a distant second option.
