They need to take care of their staff! Provide them with cars! Or limit their working hours during hot weather! Or force the restaurants to allow them to wait indoors! Its so heart breaking to see them working during hot weather and waiting outdoor under sunlight with no shield! I cant believe it we are in 2021 and yet still people are being treated like slaves!

My order should take 30mins only and it took from them 1.5hrs + 3 calls from me to the restaurant and the driver, to get a weird call from Talabat guy telling me that we are sorry but we will cancel your order.

He was asking me if I need my money back to my account or as credit in Talabat!

Are you kidding me!?

While you're trying to order through there app, it will take a long time for there driver to go and sign in the restaurant, more than an hour. And another one hour to be delivered to you. Surprised what management its doing there. And I don't have a positive comment about there customer service agents, mostly unprofessional.

I order the food through Talabat using promotional discount and was surprised to see the less
Quantity and the poor quality.
Using discount is not recommended and we should place a order directly to restaurant instead of using Talabat.

Bunch of stealers
May 17, 2021

The driver hanged up on my face and the application stated the order was delivered!

Looks like talabat driver not only having bad attitude but always hungry to steal customers orders.

I advise everyone to avoid ordering food on Talabat. They used to have reasonably good services, but lately, their service is awful. They are unprofessional and do not care about their customers—horrible and unprofessional customer service. I ordered from Mc Donald ( never again), and I paid with a credit card and have never received the order. Mc Donald used one of the most inept and incompetent drivers who could not find a central location in Salmiya. I contacted them only to hear mechanically repeated words, such as " don't worry, we will solve the problem. They stated that a team would take care of it. The team has never contacted me, and I have never received neither the food nor the money.
Be aware and do not order through them. It will be a waste of your time, money, and energy. I requested to talk to a supervisor, and of course, they gave me a runaround. They are highly disrespectful, uncivilized, and do not care about their customers. Order at your own risk! I will never use the services of such incompetent, unprofessional, and disrespectful people!

Every time I am ordering food from talabat i got very cold food with a big delay
I don't know why they are not writing the correct waiting time
They have a very unprofessional customer service
I contacted them regarding my order delay
They said that they will give a gift 8 AED instead of the delay
And i told them that I don't want the 8 AED because it worth nothing since my order value is around 150 AED. And it will come cold
The customer service ignored me and added that 8 AED and he knows that I don't want them
So ignoring the customer decision is not a behavior of the customer service!
And at the end i got my food which was very cold after waiting around one and hours
( before ordering it was written it needs only 35 minutes)

And i gave them another chance but the same thing happened
Very poor application

Very bad customer care. They canceled my order because they do not have driver after withdrawing the from my card! The restaurant can't do anything for me and Talabat has no number, no one answer the emails, no one helps on live chat. Very very very bad customer service. One month passed and still no one answer my emails and no refund until now, although it's written on their website the refund takes 7 work days!

Worst delivery ever
March 9, 2021

Extremely bad and unprofessional customer service. It's a rip off. They charge you and then the restaurant declines the order simply because the restaurant has broke its deal with Talabat. However, Talabat did not remove the restaurant from their list. They promise that money will be refunded which never happens. When you contact them about that they claim money was refunded but it doesn't appear on your card statement which is simply a big lie. Moreover, you place the order online but your address doesn't show to the restaurant and they have to call to complete missing information. In addition to delays. In short it's the worst delivery service ever. Never again

General services
February 20, 2021

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

The worst delivery service I've experienced.
1st time the driver was not able to find my building entrance and he made walk almost 10 minutes until him. When I received the pizzas was completely cold.
2nd time I ordered they took more than 2 hours, and I had to cancel, because my son slept before the food arrive.
