NilisheGrub connects restaurants, customers, and riders to rescue surplus meals — delivering great food while cutting waste across Kenya.
Every day, good food goes unsold in restaurants and kitchens across Kenya. NilisheGrub was built to change that — giving that food a second life by connecting it with people who want it, at prices that make sense.
We partner with handpicked restaurants, empower riders to earn fairly, and make it easy for customers to order rescued meals with fast delivery and live tracking.
"No good food should go to waste when people are hungry. We rescue it, deliver it, and make everyone win."
NilisheGrub started with a simple belief: the food waste problem in Kenya is solvable if we connect the right people. Restaurants lose money on unsold meals. Customers want affordable, quality food. Riders need flexible work. We built a platform that serves all three.
From surprise bags and surplus listings to full restaurant delivery, every order on NilisheGrub is a small act of rescue — good food saved, a business supported, and a customer fed.
Restaurants list unsold meals as surprise bags — customers get great food at lower prices, and nothing goes to waste.
Our rider network picks up rescued food and delivers it fresh — with live GPS tracking on every order.
Partners earn from food that would otherwise be thrown away — turning waste into revenue and new customers.
Founder & CEO, NilisheGrub
Lewis Thiong'o founded NilisheGrub with one goal: stop good food from going to waste in Kenya. He saw restaurants throwing away perfectly edible meals while communities nearby struggled to afford quality food — and built NilisheGrub to bridge that gap. Under his leadership, the platform connects restaurants, riders, and customers into one ecosystem where rescued food is delivered fast, businesses earn more, and waste is reduced with every order.
Every meal rescued is a win for the planet, the restaurant, and the customer.
We build for Kenyan restaurants, riders, and families — not distant shareholders.
Rescued food must move fast. We deliver with the urgency it deserves.
Order rescued meals, partner your restaurant, or ride with us — every action saves good food.
