I hate UPI
Because of the stupid UPI nonsense, most of the international credit cards don’t work

Worst experience - scam
This was honestly one of the worst experience I have had with a food delivery app. I ordered a cake and entered my order clearly, and the order was accepted right away. I was charged everything after more than an hour. I reached out to the Customer Care and now I’m being told that my address is incorrect and they couldn’t find it seriously? If the address was an issue by accept the order in the first place? Why not flag it immediately or ask me to correct it before charging me and wasting my time? You can’t just accept an order take the payment and then come back later saying the address doesn’t work that’s not how this should work. This whole experience was frustrating. I don’t want to even give a one star rating for this app.
Scam - Don’t Prepay if you have to use this app!
0 human support - drivers eat people food and blame on customers for not accepting the deliver? No refund either. Why would I order and not accept it?! Left stranded at 10pm after I prefer food my child. Avoid this app at all costs. If you absolutely have to use it - choose pay on delivery option. Don’t be surprised if they randomly turn off this option to help their scammer drivers. Shame!
SCAM - DON'T PAY BEFORE YOU GET YOUR FOOD.
9 out of 10 times - they hungry drivers will end up eating your food - specially if the payment is already made. Only choose Pay on Delivery - never prepay. The app often turns off the pay on delivery option to allow their hungry drivers to scam people. Waited 10 minutes in hot weather outside my hotel room only for the driver to mark the delivery as "customer could not accept" and flee with my foo. Never showed up.
Price
Charging too much
Auto checkout feature
Tried using a foreign card and was only given a USD checkout with a 20% up charge.
Then after about 5 seconds started a 2 second count down before it auto clicked checkout.
I was able to abort in time but now have a pending charge that will hopefully go away.
Be very, very wary as a foreigner.

Broken AI customer support
They are using AI chatbots to auto-decline refund requests even when the food never shows up and there is no option to connect to a human.
Food Never Arrived - 2.5 Hours of Lies and Zero Support
I am absolutely livid. Placed an order at 7:30 PM. Watched the tracker loop in circles for 2.5 hours straight - "arriving soon," "out for delivery," "almost there." The food never showed up. Not once. Never.
I called customer support. Waited on hold. Got disconnected. Called again. Got a bot. Called again. Got an agent who read from a script, apologized, and then disappeared mid-conversation. Fourth call - nobody picked up at all.
No food. No refund. No explanation. No accountability. Just dead air.
At some point the order silently disappeared from my app like it never existed. No cancellation notification. No email. Nothing. I genuinely had to check if I'd imagined placing the order. I hadn't - the money was very much gone from my account.
I sat hungry for 2.5 hours, chasing a delivery that was apparently never coming, while Zomato's support team played hot potato with my calls and their app gaslit me with fake tracking updates.
This is not a service failure. This is fraud with a user-friendly interface.
Swiggy gets my money from here on. Forever.
0/10. Disgraceful.

Combo issue
whenever I order something from
combo, they always miss it and also create issue in refund. Only using it for emergency. I wont use it otherwise. It is useless place.

Not satisfied
I order food and my food was delivered 2 hours later, driver picked up the order and went to drop other orders, I try to contact support they didn’t help
uninstalled because VPN not allowed
u guys r not banks or some high secure app to enforce this bloody rule of blocking all VPN
illiterate drivers
Zomato’s people don’t know you to read English. So they go to a wrong location and report customer gave wrong address.
If u write Main Rd, between Street # 3 & 4. There drivers are not given training they start looking for street number 34.
Also since there is an issue going on between Jio and Airtel call connections. I use Airtel calls were going but no one was speaking on the other end.
Since Zomato uses bots rather then humans customer service on a scale of 1 to 10 is -100.

Worst app ever!
Zero quality control
Horrible app design
The button for delivery or dine in is easily missed! We could not place an order and none of us noticed the transparent slider!
Fix the United State opt

bad
there should be an option to make the delivery person bring change
Got defrauded
I Ordered a cake for my nephew, entered the correct address and selected VIP delivery for which they claim to use some selective delivery partners. The guy never reached the address provided and was some 12-14km away saying that the location did not get updated as per the address on the app. Never had such an experience anywhere in the world where the map’s location pin has to be updated separately. It should get automatically updated as per the address provided. So he cancelled the order and Zomato is not providing a refund stating that the address was incorrect. The money is not an issue here but cheating. I mean i provided the exact address and now they are blaming it on me that the address was incorrect and that a refund cannot be provided for the inconvenience caused because of the delivery person who did not verify the address and blindly followed the location pin as he claims which was off by 14kms which sounds completely untrue.
Wrong order received with no proper assistance from chat support
Paid 800+ for cream stone Ice cream recieved 100 ice cream cones, when I have gave all pictures and information the guy named syed was slow in responding to my messages and couldn’t solve my issue
Garbage App
Deceptive delivery times take 1 hour + regularly despite promising 20 minutes. Delivery boys are making multiple deliveries and the food comes cold often. Customer services representatives are unhelpful and idiotic. I wont be using this trash app again.
Unnecessary Requirements of Usable Indian Phone Number
Why Indian phone number is needed for order? One can have UPI through NRE account on non Indian number and also have non Indian phone number working all over the world. Are you implying that to use this app, one need to spend money and go through hassle of obtaining unnecessary Indian phone number? This app can definitely verify that it’s working phone in India by not using WhatsApp but real SMS service. So incompetent on so many levels.
Disappointed
The real time tracking is never accurate and delivery partners are assigned for multi orders will end up delaying your order even if you have Gold membership.
They’re making profit and we are the ones who’s losing our money.
