Open now, Sunday or late at night: when can you get food delivered in Mauritius?

Open now, Sunday or late at night: when can you get food delivered in Mauritius?

It’s 9:10 p.m. The fridge is a crime scene: three condiments, half a lime, and the quiet shame of someone who swore they’d cook. The craving has arrived, loud and non-negotiable. And the real question isn’t even what to eat anymore. It’s the quieter one, the one that decides everything: is anything still open?

This is the honest guide to food delivery hours in Mauritius, the one that actually tells you who delivers right now, who keeps the kitchen on late, and who shows up on a lazy Sunday, so you stop refreshing the same screen hoping a restaurant magically opens.

Open right now? The honest answer

Here’s the honest version: for now, OnlyEat takes last orders until around 21:30, every day. On top of that, each restaurant runs its own hours, so who is actually cooking shifts with the day, the weather and the season. The only place that knows who is taking orders this exact minute is the app, where the list updates live and only shows you the kitchens open near you right now.

The quickest way to settle it: open OnlyEat, let it see your location, and the restaurants that are open right now float to the top. Want a feel for who serves your area before you even download? Have a look at the delivery zones near you and the spots that cover them.

Kitchens that keep serving late

Late craving? You’ve still got a window. Orders currently close around 21:30, and these are the kitchens that stay open right up to that last call, pulled live from their schedules (so the list stays current as hours change). Tap one to see if it’s still taking orders.

Who delivers on Sundays

Sunday is basically a national rest day, and yes, the couch wins. Good news: plenty of restaurants still deliver, so your Sunday plan can stay exactly as ambitious as “don’t move”. Here are spots that open their kitchen on Sundays.

Closed right now? Pre-order or schedule it

A kitchen being closed this second isn’t a dead end. If your favourite spot opens later, you can often line your order up in advance and have it land the moment they start cooking, or schedule it for a time that suits you: lunch tomorrow, dinner after work, breakfast before the school run. And if tonight’s last call has already passed, you can set up tomorrow’s order now. No alarm set to “order at 11 sharp”, no missing the window. You decide when you eat, the app handles the timing.

Public holidays and peak times

Two moments to plan around. On public holidays, more places than usual take the day off, and the ones open get busy fast, so order early rather than at the last minute. At peak times (around noon and 7 to 8 p.m.) kitchens are flat out and the wait stretches a little. The fix is the same in both cases: get your order in 15 minutes ahead and you eat right on schedule instead of watching the clock.

The questions everyone asks

Can I order right now? Often, yes, but it depends on the spot. Open the app: only the kitchens currently taking orders near you show up, so you never order into a void.

Do you deliver on Sundays? Plenty of restaurants do. Sunday is one of the busiest days for delivery, so you’re in good company on that couch.

How late can I order? Right now, last orders close around 21:30. Within that, it depends on the kitchen: the “serving late” list above shows the ones open to the final stretch, built from real schedules and refreshed every time the site updates.

What about public holidays? Some restaurants close, some don’t. Check the app on the day, and order on the early side, the open ones fill up quickly.

Ready to order tonight?

Bottom line: there’s almost always something open, you just need the one place that shows you live who’s cooking. First time ordering here? Start with our no-hassle ordering guide, then download the app, share your location, and let dinner find you.
