UberEats has revealed its 25 ‘hottest bites’ for 2025 as the delivery platform predicts this year’s best takeaways. 

To celebrate making their one billionth delivery in the UK since launching nine years ago in 2016, UberEats has shed light on this year’s growing food trends. 

The final list includes on-trend meals, from burgers and sushi to desserts and snack items. 

Taking the crown for the trendiest meal was the Pad Thai from Rosa’s Thai – a beloved classic featuring stir-fried noodles with tamarind sauce, eggs and crushed peanuts, with the option to choose between veg and tofu, chicken and king prawns. 

In second place was the chicken gyro from Going Greek, which has six locations across North London and Essex. 

The classic gyro is the eatery’s most liked item at £9.25, including chicken inside a pita wrap with tomatoes and red onions, parsley, paprika, oregano fries and house sauce, with the option to add halloumi for an extra £2.75. 

Also making the top five is the Shack Burger from Shack Shack, and the ever-popular chilli chicken ramen from Tonkotsu. 

Meanwhile the Curry Goat Pon Fries from Natty’s Jerk, finished with apple & mango slaw, is also set to be a popular choice this year.

The Jamaican restaurant, based in Bournemouth, Portsmouth and Southampton, was previously crowned the best takeaway in the UK and Ireland in the UberEats 2024 awards. 

But it’s not just main meals that have made the running this year, as desserts and snacks also featured in the competitive top 25. 

The list also contains sweet items, such as Subway’s 1,344 ‘world first’ footlong cookie and the ‘Nutella Crustbonara’ from Crust Bros – a decadent take on a classic pizza. 

UberEats partners with both independent eateries and chains, with more than 70,000 restaurants featuring on the platform. 

It has recently celebrated a whopping one billion deliveries since its 2016 launch, with the landmark food order consisting of cod and chips with a battered sausage from College Fish Bar in Birmingham. 

UberEats also revealed that the Half Chicken from Manjaros, 6 Piece Chicken Wings from Wngz from, and Roti Chicken from Roti King were the most popular dishes on the app. 

During the pandemic in 2020, Uber Eats introduced a new function which allows customers to do their grocery shopping online – a move which has now given way to a new breed of shoppers who scarcely set foot in a supermarket. 

In the last two years, the number of people doing their food shopping via the app has nearly doubled and this figure has been even higher in certain parts of Europe, reported The Grocer.

Its enduring popularity has largely been credited to Gen Z, who will often order takeaways via the app.  

Matthew Price Regional General Manager, Uber Eats, UKI & Northern Europe, said: ‘Reaching our one billionth delivery in the UK and Ireland is a huge milestone, made possible by the hundreds of thousands of couriers and over 70,000 restaurants we partner with—many of them small businesses. 

‘In fact, SMEs make up more than half of our restaurant partners across the country, and we’re proud to help them grow by connecting them with new and loyal customers every day. 

‘As we look ahead to the next billion orders, we’re excited to continue supporting local businesses, expanding our offerings beyond food delivery, and making sustainable choices more accessible to our restaurant partners and customers alike.’
