Fried chicken was the most searched item on Uber Eats in 2025, this is according to a new report.

The 2025 Kenya Craving Report says that chicken reigned unchallenged as the country’s national craving, with tens of thousands of searches, with the busiest single store serving over 100 meals a day.

Pizza, the report released on Thursday, December 10 says, was the second-most searched food on Uber Eats, with the customers out on movie nights, post-exam celebrations, or general late night hunger.

From cooking oil and tomatoes to last-minute spaghetti emergencies, grocery delivery became a reliable household hack in 2025. “One customer even had a 5-litre bottle of oil delivered in just 150 seconds,” Uber Eats says.

The report also revealed that one customer placed a premium drinks order worth KSh109,000, complete with high-end wines. Another went big with a KSh102,134 fast-food feast of nearly 20 burgers and sides. And then came the romantic, a “Lover’s Marathon” order costing KSh80,400.

The inaugural Cravings Report reflects a deeper truth about how Kenyans live, work, and eat today.

“These insights show just how deeply Uber Eats is woven into everyday life in Kenya,” says Kui Mbugua, General Manager, Uber Eats Kenya. “Every order supports a courier, strengthens a local business, and brings more convenience and choice to customers. This is the food economy Kenya is building, and we’re proud to be part of it.”
