Now driving down to a restaurant becomes all the more easy for Zomato users.

Global restaurant search and discovery app Zomato has partnered with the San Francisco-based hail-a-taxi app, Uber, to bring in more users onto their respective platforms across the globe.

In a statement here today Zomato said the partnership has been rolled out to Zomato users in 27 cities across 13 countries — India, Australia, Canada, the UK, South Africa, Indonesia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Portugal, Qatar, Turkey, UAE, and the US.

Zomato and Uber will provide users a seamless experience by enabling them to book cabs to the restaurant they are planning to eat at.

The feature has already been made available to Zomato users in London and South Africa, and will now be rolled out to users in these other key markets, the release said.

Pankaj Chaddah, Co-Founder and COO of Zomato, said, “We're constantly looking for ways to make every meal, for everyone, a great experience. This partnership makes eating out more convenient with the Zomato app connecting to Uber services seamlessly.”

Eric Alexander, Head of Business, Asia - Uber, said, “We are delighted to be expanding the scope of our partnership with Zomato. Across six continents, Uber allows riders to connect with their cities in new ways. Through this API integration, Zomato users in 13 countries will now be able to reach those hidden gems in their cities seamlessly and in style.”

Once a user has found a place to dine at or have drinks at using the Zomato app, a single tap on the Uber button on the restaurant page will allow one to find the nearest Uber. In addition to seeing the estimated fare and how long it will take for the Uber to arrive, one will also be able to choose the Uber service that best suits one's need, the release explained.
