Is zomato gold worth it?
I reckon it really depends on how much you use it, to be honest. If you order takeaways a lot, then yes, it’s probably worth it. You get free delivery on many orders and sometimes extra discounts, so the savings add up quite fast. It can pay for itself in just a few orders.
Also, the dining offers are great. You get deals like 1+1 on food which is brilliant if you're out with a mate.
But you have to remember the membership fee. If you only order once in a while, you might not save any money. My advice: check the restaurants near you on Gold first. If your favourites are on it, then go for it.
It depends on your eating-out habits. If you dine out frequently, especially in cities where many restaurants accept Zomato Gold (now called Zomato Pro in some places), then yes, it can save you money. For example, you get 1+1 on food or 2+2 on drinks, which adds up quickly if you’re a regular restaurant-goer.
I had Zomato Gold for a year. Honestly, I didn’t save much because many of my favorite restaurants weren’t included. Also, Zomato keeps changing terms and conditions, which makes it less appealing. Sometimes the offers are restricted to weekdays or certain menu items. So I’d say: only worth it if your preferred restaurants participate.
From a value-for-money perspective: the subscription cost is usually around ₹500–₹1000 per year. If you eat out even 2–3 times a month at partner restaurants, you’ll recover the fee quickly. After that, it’s pure savings. For people who dine occasionally, it’s not worth it.
One thing to note: Zomato has rebranded and changed the scheme multiple times (Gold → Pro → Pro Plus). So always check the current benefits before subscribing. Don’t just go by old reviews.
