District and Zomato: Are they the same?
Zomato originally made it’s debut in the Unites Arab Emirates in 2012. It was the company’s first international market foray after spending four glorious and on-going years in India. In 2017, Zomato announced that they were offering a premium subscription called Zomato Gold in the UAE.
However, in 2019, Zomato sold its UAE food delivery service and business to Talabat (Delivery Hero Group) for approximately $172 million. In 2022, Zomato shut down in the UAE.

In August 2025, District by Zomato officially launched in the UAE. It became the first international market for the platform, offering entertainment services in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and other Emirates.
District is hence a subsidiary of Zomato and consolidates all the “going-out” activities that the residents need. Whether it is dining out, live performances, event ticketing or shopping, they offer something for everyone.
