A New Era, Built for Us. The New African Dishout App Is Launching.

The African food experience you’ve been waiting for is almost here, a better way to explore, order, track, and enjoy the meals you love.

Eight years ago, African Dishout started with a single restaurant and one clear purpose: To bring exposure to independent African restaurants and grocery stores in the United States while connecting the diaspora to the food and culture that feels like home.

Today, we stand at over 250 store partners across the United States, and while the platform has grown, the soul behind it remains the same. Dishout has always been more than a delivery app. We are a tech brand built on culture and community. Eight years of that does not happen without listening.

We Heard You

Over the years, you have shared your experiences with us. The good and the honest ones. We took every word seriously and went back to the drawing board, not to patch what was broken, but to rebuild with intention. Finally, the new African Dishout app is here and it is launching. Every feature you are about to discover was built because this community asked for better, and we listened.

What’s New

Real-Time Item Availability and Order Adjustments

The app now shows live item updates for every store before you order. And if anything changes after, you can modify or request a refund directly in-app while it is still being processed

Live Order Tracking

Now you can follow your order in real time, directly in-app, from the restaurant all the way to your door.

Customer-Controlled Refunds

You decide what happens to your refund. Send it back to your original payment method, keep it as wallet credit in the app, or take it as a voucher. The choice is entirely yours.


In-App Chat with Businesses

Have a special request or a quick question? You can now chat directly to the restaurant inside the app, before or after placing your order.

Global Search Experience

Looking for a specific dish, restaurant, or grocery item? A single search scans across the entire platform and helps you find exactly what you are looking for in seconds.

Tailored Cuisine Preferences

At sign-up, choose your country of preference and dietary needs. From there, every recommendation Dishout serves you is personal, culturally relevant, and built around you.

Redesigned App Interface

Faster, cleaner, and built for everyday use. From the moment you open the app, finding what you want and placing your order feels effortless.

Cuisine Discovery Page

Not sure what you want, or know exactly what you are craving but cannot find it? Browse a visual gallery of dishes and groceries from across the continent, spot something that catches your eye, and a tap takes you straight to the store that has it. And if you want to know more, the story and background behind every dish is right there waiting.

A New Era of Service

This launch is only the beginning. Our vision is for African food to be as easy to find, order, and enjoy in America as any other cuisine, while helping African businesses thrive.

This is not an update. It is a complete rebuild, designed from the ground up with our African diaspora community in mind.

The future of African food is almost here. Make sure you’re ready when we launch. Expect a push notification and an email from us the moment it is ready to download. As this is a new build, you will need to log in again and re-enter some details, like saved addresses and preferences.

Thank you for eight years of support, patience, and honest feedback. You are the reason Dishout exists.

It is almost here. And it is built for us.
