Order In

Well for the second time now Kelly and I have tried out this food delivery service in Kuwait called 6alabat.  The number 6 in arabic writing is pronounced T'a and when put with alabat it makes Talabat which is an Arabic word meaning "orders".  They are a web based delivery service provider that operates in Kuwait with many restaurant chains.  Which means you just place an order through their website to any restaurant in our area.  They have about 60 restaurants on the website with the full menus right online so you just click on the items you want to order.  From Entrees and pop drinks, to Chocolate mousse and ice-cream, your order shows up on your doorstep within 30 minutes.  You pay the guy on the spot.  There is no extra charge for the delivery you just pay the price for the food. We have actually been to some of these places in person and the prices are the same so there isn't any hidden costs in the online menu that you would expect.   Make no mistake; these are not all KFC, Burger King type restaurants. There is everything from McDonalds to Hy's Steakhouse or the BDI.  Prices are very reasonable and because groceries are generally more here then at home it is about the same price to order in as it is to go buy the ingredients and make it yourself... and who wants to do that?
