Zomato currently delivers food in more than 1,000 cities.
"While we are grateful for the positive sentiment, we recognise that we're just getting started. We will continuously work on improving the quality of our regional app to make them more accurate and contextual," said the food aggregator.

The revenue went up to Rs 1,661 crore against Rs 1,024 crore in the year-ago period, a significant 62.2 per cent jump, the company had said in a statement.
"This is the first quarter where we have crossed the billion dollar annualised revenue mark (at $1.05 billion)," said Zomato.
