Zomato acquires two peers in eastern Europe.

Zomato, the restaurant discovery service, has acquired Lunchtime.cz and Obedovat.sk, the Czech Republic's and Slovakia's popular restaurant guides, respectively, for a combined amount of $3.25 million, the company said. This is Zomato's third acquisition and takes up the company's presence to 15 countries, from 13 countries earlier.

Zomato, backed by Info Edge (India), has been expanding its global presence in the past few quarters and strengthening its presence in existing markets. In July, Zomato acquired MenuMania, a leading restaurant discovery service in New Zealand. The latest acquisitions are a strategic move to establish Zomato's presence in central and eastern Europe.
