“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.

Order was late, 1,30 hour after order has been placed driver calls asking me for the address even though it's there, clearly written on the app. He is telling me to call Talabat and change my address and I didn't understood what was going on. I've contacted Talabat through a chat(since you cannot actually call them) and after checking agent is saying there is a road closure and the driver can't come, it's to far. They said also someome from Talabat will call me in 7-10 minutes to resolve this(which later happened but after half an hour). There was no road closure as I checked every possible very accurate and always updated map.
Second chat with them, they connected me to the restaurant from which we ordered the food, who was saying that the driver is not assigned yet (2 hours after an actual order placement), although the driver already called me half an hour earlier to ask me for the address. No sorry, no explanation, nothing, very rude and unprofessional as well.
After that I get a call from Talabat saying sorry and how driver had an accident and couldn't come.
4 different stories from 4 different persons. Spent 1,30 hour of my time at 1 in the morning trying to solve the mystery of my food, instead of them calling me on time(even if there are any problems) and notifying me about the order that I paid for and that as a consumer have the right to know. If I haven't started chat in the first place, probably I would wait for my food until the morning and still not get it. Super unprofessional, with bad attitude and giving totally unreliable and misleading information to the customers who are paying for their services. Deleted the app and I would not recommend it to anyone in this world.

I would like to share my experience with TALABAT.
On July 2022 I ordered food through talabat It take 4 hours and in that time the food has not arrived, the worse thing i contacted talabat customer service and they sayinh nicely politely with alot of sugar coating that the food will be delivered soon, but here is interesting an agent name sufyan he said the food is should be around me because he has called the restaurant but when i call the restaurant they said they didnt recieve the order, in conclusion ALL THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DIDNT CHECK AT ALL. Such a poor customer service and pathetic, second thing there is lady who called and ask what I want, oh come on where is your face as customer service, after what you have done still asking what I want ridiculous and they gave me 7 QAR compensation AND they cancel my order LOL. Well I don't need the DUMB VOUCHER. PATHETIC CUSTOMER SERVICE

My latest experience with Talabat.com/Bahrain was very disappointing and unpleasant. I ordered from Texas Chicken and paid with my credit card which was a big mistake, when the order arrived the driver contacted me using talabat chat (in their app) he wrote one sentence, sir order is outside so I replied OK and I went to get my order but I didn't see the driver outside, I waited for 10 minutes and looked at my phone to my surprise the order was canceled, I contacted talabat customer service through the Live chat which was the only option to contact them and the agent apologized then he assured me that a refund will be issued within 30 minutes but I didn't receive any, the next day I contacted talabat again 4 more times but they changed thier story now they said because I didn't answer my phone the order was canceled and it is thier policy not to give me a refund, I tried to explain that no one called me on my phone, I just received one chat message but they keep lying and telling me that the driver called and the restaurant called but no one did, now they refuse to give me a refund.

Tip for consumers:
Always pay with cash and it's better if you use a different site/app.

Would never use Talabat Go again. Order took 3 hours, and then came half missing and half destroyed. Customer service was unapologetic and unhelpful.

Nowadays it is taking too much time and also ordered things are missing! It is better to go by yourself to buy.
