“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.

My husband ordered the food from Layali Al Dahan, the restaurant handed over the order to Talabat rider and unfortunatly we never see our food, the order has been stolen, what a shame!
When we called the driver, first he said that he didn't receive the order from the restaurant and he said that they are bad. We called again to the restaurant and they confirmed that the rider received the order and left.
After our second call to rider, he spoke with us in very rude way and he said his leg is pain and that he not speak English, only Urdu.
We said we gonna call police for u,
He shouted " yes you call police no problem ".
What a shame!
Awful experience!
Never recommend to use this application!

It's my first time to order from Talabat and would be my last.
I know my area DWC is quite far and very less options of restaurants which deliver here. When i checked Talabat, they showed they are delivering to DWC area, i was happy and excited, ordered from Shanghai Station and they immediately accepted the order and prepared the food. After 1 hour, i got a call confirming my location, 2nd call telling that the food is on its way and 3rd call telling they cannot deliver as it's very far and they will cancel the order.

Amazing right! Well i don't want to elaborate more but i've never been this disappointed to add that you're really hungry and craving for something.

If you don't want to experience the same, call the restaurant directly (good lesson for me too)

I ve placed an order then 40min later revived text order will be cancelled I called Talabat they say it restaurent who cancelled as driver called you but no answer however I didn't receive any call from anyone and why would it be cancelled without my permission! I ve called directly the restaurent this time they stated that Talabat canceled your order and they sent us a message!
When I called Talabat for solution they say it not us we can only refund so I was juggling in the middle within this poor service and would they canceled order after long period of time of waiting! And why you can't reorder it not my mistake it yours! The only solution is refund and do it all again that very unprofessional!

I had countless experiences with riders not finding the address, stressing me on WhatsApp, ordering me to provide location, calling, or even marking the order as delivered when I was not.
Despite my numerous complains Not gibt changes, all is bla, bla, bla.

I don't experience similar problems with INSTASHOP, Kibsons or Carrefour.
Their riders are extremely professional, don't call or bother you on WhatsApp, just find the location and deliver.

Very bad service. This says a lot about the management!

This company is misleading and loath to resolve issues. It does not pay its drivers well nor does it address incorrect meal orders, rather they argue with you. Very, very poor service and App

Tip for consumers:
Best use an alternative App with the appropriate customer service values

If there was an option to rate them at minus 20,i would gladly do that. Hours of delay and programmed computer to reply $#*! on customer support chat.

The system is flawed. They have options to take away items you don't want on a burger. The burger comes with everything. You ask the customer support team why after requesting not to have these items in they say you didn't say.

I'm not stupid and clearly this is a tech fault. I looked at my emails to check the receipt and couldn't access my receipt I asked customer support to share the receipt they wouldn't do so.

95dhs down the drain.

Do not use this company

Just don’t use them

It's my 5th time with Talabat - I ordered my food before bed, ended up waiting more than 1.5hours (expected time was40-45mn) to then discover my order was never really made (even tho here it said order accepted and preparing and delivering soon), and when I complained they told me they have technical issues and can do nothing about it…. No compensation for my time or my food at all! The worst service ever in Dubai I am deleting the app and never ordering again-so DISSAPOINTED! This is literally a fraud company making up stuff!

More than 7 people came to the delivery, having come into the office they sorted out half of the chocolates for our customers! Without asking! Very bad service!

Talabat is the worst food felivery srrvice in UAE, for the 3rd time my order is taking more than one hour to be delievered.

I had a chat with the customer service team, what they are doing every time is a refund of amount of money.

Anyone reading this review kindly as sincere advice order by Deliveroo or Zomato instead of Talabat!

Ordered food for iftar, initially promised to deliver in time for iftar, then kept delaying and finally saw the notice that order is cancelled!

Very poor service.

Actually Talabat is not reliable at all in food outlets on their app. They hide bad reviews and over rate my outlets. Do not be fooled by their reviews.

I order something from Talabat app, later on I checked the price of same item on company's website and found different pricing. It has happened with me before as well. To sum up, Talabat has changed the pricing of items on their app so they are selling items with increased pricing and also charging delivery charges. STOP ORDERING VIA TALABAT

I have ordered Dominoz Pizza form Talabat and i would like to say that the service of Talabat is beyond terrible.

The resturant calls me after one hour, after i have called talabat and complained of my late order, and mentioned that they did not understand my order and they will need another 45 mins to process the order.

The resturant blames it on Talabat and talabat blames it on the resturant. Not just that the service is quite inadequate, but they do not even take responsibility for their lack of service.

If you want your order experience to be atleast simple, avoid talabat and just call the resturant directly.

Its been late. Too late. And they are offering me AED8. I told the agent, I dont need your AED8, I am not a beggar. But he still credited it to my account. This is humiliating.
