“By far the best in the GCC!”

By far the best in the GCC! They have quality restaurants and their app is amazing to use! The customer service staff is beyond supportive and very polite! Found in Kuwait, I honestly believe that Talabat.com is the best so far for Online Food Ordering.

“Horrible talabat”

I first ordered fast food the guy ate some of my food without my consent and guess what talabat said they dint care I recommend you don't use this. Another time I ordered carefour and they forgot to bring one item and guess what they got paid and dint even bring back the missing item and then they gave a refund I hate talabat I reccomend you don't talabat and when I was on talabat website they just banned me for no reason look at the picture of what it says.

Today was the last straw with talabat, I'll uninstall it for good. When you are working and you rely on talabat to deliver food to the office at a reasonable time (I would be okay with up to 2 hours when it comes to talabat) but after 3 hours of waiting, you decide to do the logical thing and contact the customer care which somehow manages to make the problem seem x100 times worse because a-it's so frustrating chatting with them cuz there's no customer care number, b- long waits, c-unsympathetic and uninterested and simply lies and seems to be trying to get it over with, d- so far with all the issues (so many) i had with the delivery they have never offered me a satisfying solution to my problem, the best you can get is a refund (after 2 days) or an apology and empty words. Day at work actually ruined with no lunch and headache accentuated, so today after contacting them after the 3 hour delay I was informed that the restaurant canceled the order based on MY request and all they offered me was a refund, in a most unsympathetic way. If I didnt contact them there was now way for me to know the order was canceled, it was showing delivered on my app
Last time using talabat.

It was not the first time facing problems with this app, but this time my patience has run out! I ordered 2 juices and 2 Manoushe which usually takes about 30minutes to deliver, the app was showing 45 minutes delivery time. After 2 hours and half of waiting, I tried contacting the restaurant, the number on talabat was wrong, then I tried contacting talabat on the helpchat, they made me wait for 30minutes until I was connected to someone to assist me, then after a long conversation they told me that my order is cancelled due to a technical issue, and they told me that my money will be given back to me as a talabat credit or voucher only with compensation of 10 dirhams lol 2 hours and half waiting for my order to ended up without my food and not even sending my money back to my card! Many times I received food late and cold, 2 times I had my order delivered to another address, and one time someone took my food from the talabat driver and they told me driver made a mistake! Lol but this time was the end of it. I made a complaint to dubai Consumer service center, and I've deleted this app. I'd rather pay extra than have this unprofessional service handling my food, I highly not recommend it, better call the restaurant directly. Peace.

One star is not enough!

So we are WAITING for our order and turns out that it's CANCELLED. No one informs me or CALLED me that they will cancel it. I contacted the live chat of Talabat to find out it's CANCELLED!

TALABAT SAID THE PROBLEM IS IN KFC. KFC SAID THE PROBLE< IS FROM THE TALABAT?

Woow! And what are you going to do to us, customers that are complaining? Tossing or passing to each other Talabat or KFC?

No one fixed this problem! NO one!

This is NOT THE 1st TIME Talabat!

WHAT A SERVICE!

We constantly where using Talabat for servicing. Lately there it just no service at all. Contacted them on Thursday ( which we are aware is a busy night at 6.46pm) Order to be delivered in one hour. After 45 min. The tracking serviced said it was delivered. Call the call centre which immediately apologies and said they would get back to us. Immediately offered a fee of QR20 for the inconvenience. Nothing happened. We contacted them again and similar. Apologies and they would get back to us. This is after 2 hrs. Contacted them again. Similar to previous response. We were then told that the specificic restaurant does not pick up there phone. After three hours we requested to talk to a manager. We had a call from a lady called Isa which again similar to all the other apologies and offer us another QR20 for the inconvenience. Again were told that the restaurant does not answer the phone. There are many similar restaurants available in the same area. We were then asked if they need to cancel the order. Never they offered to order it from another place. We cancelled it as most of the people went to sleep as now it was over 3.5 hours since we ordered. Please train the employes to look for options and not to apologies offer a fee and nothing else.
Appreciated your urgent comments

I tried the Cantonese ramen bowl from Nom Yum restaurant and it was exquisite and delicious. I would definitely recommend it to others. The food was good and the presentation was pleasant as well.

The worst app you could possibly use. I can't even track my order after ordering as I guest. And no hotline neither.
