Dial-a-Dinner

Standout deliveries: The Chippy (traditional English fish and chips), Percy’s (fantastic deli food), Madison’s (who knew you could get steak delivered to your door these days?) and amazingly for the hungover; Panadol.
Good points: A great selection of menus and they accept all major credit cards.
Bad points: To see the menus as a non-member, you have to download a PDF, which at peak times on the site is often quite a slow way to peruse the selection of food on offer... especially if you're hungry.
Average delivery time: 50 minutes-1 hour

Website: A huge range of restaurant menus to choose from with everything from sushi to tapas. However, at peak times it can take “I’m about to eat my own hand” ages to get your order. It is not unusual to wait at least an hour.  

Deliverance

Standout deliveries: Cococabana (you know you’ve made it when you are getting some of the best foie gras terrine in town delivered to your door), The Boathouse (fantastic ribs or moules marinieres) and finally, condoms.
Good Points: You can register to the website and create your own page where you can keep a list of your favorite restaurants for future reference.
Bad points: You can only order online, which is a little scary…and you have to download the menus again…oh the frustration.   
Average delivery time: 45 minutes- 50 minutes

Website: Basically dial-a-dinner with a different name and slightly more focus on quality, fresh food from higher-end establishments.

Food By Fone

Standout deliveries: Takeaway doesn’t have to unhealthy if you order from the Life Cafe menu or screw it and load up on raspberry cheesecake from the Ironwood Bakery.
Good points: The website looks prettier than all the rest and it’s easier to use.
Bad points: Don’t forget to check the minimum order, which can be anything from $100-$500.
Average delivery time: 45 minutes

Website: A fresh easy-to-use website, which features all the menus on the website and you simply pick what you want and call with the reference number.   

Food By Web

Standout deliveries: Traditional waffles from Belgium Waffle Boy.
Good points: There are some good lunch options including Subway and several Japanese bento boxes.
Bad points: The website can be slow and prone to crashing or distorting especially at peak times. The hotline is also only available from 11am-3pm and 4pm-10.30pm, which is not very compatible with odd-timed cravings.
Average delivery time: 45 minutes.

Website: Participating restaurants are conveniently arranged into cuisine types and there’s a good range of restaurants.

SoHo Delivery

Standout deliveries: Ice cream mountains from XTC on Ice or kebabs from Habibi cafe. 
Good points: Just call and you get a free menu which means you don’t have to turn on your computer every time you want to order.
Bad points: The menus are downloads again and the website is a little clunky.
Average delivery time: 45 minutes

Website: Over 25 restaurants in the Soho area are available on the site, which is fairly easy to manage, but not particularly compatible with Macs.

Cuisine Courier

Standout deliveries: Chilli chicken in sesame seed pockets from Bistro Manchu (one of the best Manchurian restaurants in the city) or bandaids from the Tuck Shop.
Good points: The quality of restaurants is good, the menus are easy to see and there are quite a few restaurants that do not participate on other food delivery sites.  
Bad points: There’s no search engine so it’s not the easiest site to navigate.
Average delivery time: 45 minutes

Website: Around 50 restaurants to choose from on a very loooooooong website. Unfortunately, the restaurants are not organized into sections making it fairly difficult to find what you want.

Pizza Express

Standout deliveries: Classic Pizza Express dough balls, which come with little pots of dipping sauce or the Soho Pizza, which comes with a side box of rocket so you can freshly prepare it yourself.
Bad points: Only deliver to a close radius within the restaurants, which means mid-levels, Soho, Wan Chai and Admiralty. 
Good points: Calling them direct is a much quicker way of getting your pizza than using any of the above dinner delivery services.
Average delivery time: A very speedy 30 minutes.

Website: Awesome pizzas, great service and the odd pasta or salad thrown in for good measure.
