Uber Rides, Eats now available in Jaffna

Uber announced the launch of its services in Jaffna, marking a significant milestone in its nationwide expansion. 

With this launch in the Northern province, the residents as well as visitors will now have access to safer, affordable rides and on-demand food and grocery delivery, all at the tap of a button. It will also contribute to the local economy by creating new earning opportunities for local drivers, delivery partners and merchants. 

As part of this expansion, Tamil language support has been rolled out across the country, making the app experience even more accessible to millions of Tamil-speaking Sri Lankans.

Uber Eats launches with the widest-ever restaurant and grocery selection Jaffna has seen across any delivery platform. With popular local eateries and trusted grocery partners on the app and a strong network of delivery partners across the city, Uber Eats will offer a faster and more reliable delivery experience than what customers have been used to.

Uber Sri Lanka Country Manager Delivery Varun Wijewardane said, “Launching in Jaffna is special - this is a city with a proud food heritage and a strong sense of community. We’ve worked closely with restaurant owners and grocery partners to build a selection that truly reflects local tastes. For us, this isn’t just about delivery - it’s about creating new ways for people to access what they love while helping local businesses thrive.”

Uber Sri Lanka Country Manager Mobility Kaushalya Gunaratne said, “With the launch of Uber Rides in Jaffna, we’re bringing our ‘tap a button, get a ride’ promise to the Northern province – making everyday travel more accessible, flexible and dependable. This launch is a proud step forward as we continue to expand safe, reliable mobility across Sri Lanka.”
