Talabat Scraper: Restaurant Menus, Prices, Reviews

Talabat Scraper: Restaurant Menus, Prices, Reviews

Talabat scraper for restaurants with their full menus, dish prices, options and customer reviews, from the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan and Egypt. No login, no cookies, no Talabat account: give an area, a city, a delivery point, search words, a chain or a link, and get one row per restaurant branch with its whole menu nested, its rating, and the delivery fee, minimum order and delivery time of the area it was listed in.

Quick start

1. Open the Actor's Input tab. The prefilled input reads the first five restaurants of Abu Hail, Dubai.
2. Replace the link with any Talabat area list, menu or brand link, or fill Areas, Cities, Delivery points, Search words, Chains or Branch ids, with Markets where the entry does not name its market (uae/1169).
3. Turn on the add-ons you need: Dish options, Customer reviews, One row per dish, Exact review figures, Chain figures, Arabic menus.
4. Set Max restaurants (empty means 200) and click Start.
5. Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or read it through the Apify API. The Restaurants, Reviews, Dishes and Coverage views split the rows by kind.

What you get

Every restaurant row is one Talabat branch (type: "restaurant"), charged as one Restaurant event, with the menu nested in menu.dishes. Review rows (type: "review") and dish rows (type: "dish") come only when you turn them on. Each entry of the input also gets one free coverage row, and the run ends with a free summary row (also stored as RUN-SUMMARY in the run's key-value store).

Main fields and measured fill rates

How it works

• Area lists: an area is read page by page, 15 restaurants a page, A to Z unless you choose an order (or paste a link that has one). A to Z is the only order that stays the same between two reads, so a capped read always gets the same restaurants. A page Talabat answers short, or in a fallback order, is asked again and the area's coverage row says so.
• Menus: one menu page per restaurant carries the whole menu. The delivery fee, minimum order, delivery time and open status come from the area list, because the menu page shows placeholders for them.
• Options and reviews: with the add-ons on, the options of each dish with options and the restaurant's reviews are read through Talabat's own calls. A dish the menu lists at 0 gets its real starting price from its options (priceFrom). A dish whose options could not be read carries options: null and is not charged (menu.optionTreesNotRead counts them); option trees stop at about 4 MB of text per restaurant, because a dataset row holds at most 9 MB. A restaurant whose reviews were asked for says whether they were read (reviewsStatus).
• Repeats removed: a branch found by two entries of the run is delivered and charged once; a dish Talabat repeats in several menu sections is kept once, with every section it appears in.
• Empty menus: Talabat switches some menus by time of day and briefly answers with no dish. Such a menu is asked again at least a minute later in the run (when the run's allowance for unpaid work can pay the wait); if it is still empty, or is not asked again, a free status row says so and it is not charged.
• Misses: an unknown branch, area, city, chain or a point Talabat does not deliver to gets a free status row. A name shared by several areas is not guessed: the free row lists them.

Input

Give at least one of: links, areas, cities, delivery points, search words, chains, branch ids, markets alone, wholeCountry or listAreasOnly. An input with none of them reads the sample (the first five restaurants of Abu Hail, Dubai). Markets are uae, kuwait, qatar, bahrain, oman, jordan, egypt (ISO codes ae, kw, qa, bh, om, jo, eg work too), several in one run.

An area link (its filter, sort and cuisine are kept)

{ "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.talabat.com/uae/restaurants/1169/abu-hail" }], "maxRestaurants": 50 }

A whole city, central areas first

{ "cities": ["uae/Dubai"], "maxRestaurants": 500 }

A delivery point (the area Talabat delivers it from)

{ "locations": ["25.2048,55.2708"], "maxRestaurants": 100 }

Search words around every city centre of a market

{ "countries": ["qatar"], "searchQueries": ["shawarma"], "searchMatch": "name", "maxRestaurants": 100 }

Every page of a search is read (Talabat gives up to 1,000 results a page; "burger" around Dubai lists about 1,560). Talabat answers any word, even one nothing matches, with unrelated restaurants, so a search result is delivered only when it matches: any (name, cuisine or a dish), name, or exact_name (the restaurant's name without the branch part Talabat adds after a comma equals the words, for checking a list of restaurant names; no match gives a free row).

Every branch of a chain in a market

{ "chains": ["uae/mcdonalds"], "includeChainInfo": true }

Talabat's brand list gives every branch of most chains at once (McDonald's UAE: 161), checked once from a second point. For some brands it gives only the branch serving the point asked (KFC UAE): when it gives one branch or none, or a different list from the second point, the branches are collected around every city centre of the market and the coverage row says a branch serving no city centre may be missed.

Branch ids with options and reviews

{ "branchIds": ["uae/38382"], "includeOptions": true, "includeReviews": true, "maxReviewsPerRestaurant": 200, "reviewsSince": "2026-01-01" }

Markets alone (the most central area of every city)

{ "countries": ["bahrain", "oman"], "maxRestaurants": 200 }

Every brand of a market (Talabat's sitemap)

{ "countries": ["bahrain"], "wholeCountry": true, "maxRestaurants": 1000 }

UAE has about 30,600 brand pages, so bound it with Max restaurants. Each brand is asked once, from the market's first point; brands that give one branch from a point are counted in the coverage row, which is then partial (read such a brand with chains).

The cities and areas of a market only (no result fee)

{ "countries": ["jordan"], "listAreasOnly": true }

One free row per market with every area id, name, slug, city and coordinates; no result is charged, only the run's start fee. Name areas next to it (by id, link or name) to get their cuisines, filters and sorts too; other entries are read in a run without it.

Filters and order

{ "areas": ["uae/1169"], "cuisines": ["burgers"], "listFilters": ["top_rated", "free_delivery"], "minRating": 4.2, "onlyOpen": true, "sortBy": "a_z" }

listFilters takes Talabat's eight list filters: top_rated, free_delivery, fast_delivery, newly_added, offers, pickup, veg_only, exceptional. Also onlyTalabatPro, chainFilter, and the orders rating, fastest_delivery, delivery_fee, minimum_order. chainFilter keeps only the named chains in area lists (areas, cities, delivery points, area links, markets alone): it takes brand slugs (kfc, mango-talaat-juffair, as in the brand's Talabat link), each resolved through Talabat's brand list at the area's centre, and a restaurant is kept by its branch id, never by its name. The area's first list page is read, then the brand's branches that Talabat's search shows around the area's centre are added (they serve that point, and can include a branch the area list itself does not show; Talabat's lists have no name filter; search rows carry no delivery fee, minimum order or open status, so chainFilter is not combined with onlyOpen or listFilters).

A monitor

{ "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.talabat.com/uae/restaurants/1169/abu-hail" }], "maxRestaurants": 500, "monitorName": "abu-hail-menus", "monitorMode": "changes" }

Other settings: language (en, ar, en_ar for Arabic dish, description and section names next to the English ones; left empty, an /ar/ link reads Arabic and everything else English; a cuisine filter is judged on Talabat's English cuisine names, so with Arabic only reads it is refused: use en_ar), maxDishesPerRestaurant, maxOptionDishesPerRestaurant, includeReviewStats, includeSearchFlags, includeNonRestaurants, dishRows, omitEmptyFields, transformFunction (a plain JavaScript function that takes a row and returns it; async functions are refused), maxRestaurantsPerSubject, maxPagesPerArea, maxConcurrency (1 to 3).

How much does it cost to scrape Talabat?

You pay per event, per 1,000 events, by your Apify plan:

Event	What it is	FREE	BRONZE	SILVER	GOLD
Restaurant (primary)	One restaurant branch with its full menu nested	$0.92	$0.84	$0.76	$0.66
Dish option set	The option tree of one dish (add-on)	$0.20	$0.18	$0.16	$0.15
Review	One customer review row (add-on)	$0.20	$0.18	$0.15	$0.12
Dish row	One dish as its own row (add-on)	$0.05	$0.045	$0.04	$0.035
Menu check	A monitored restaurant read again and found unchanged	$0.21	$0.19	$0.17	$0.15

Platinum and Diamond plans pay the Gold price. The Actor start is $0.004 per run, flat on every plan, with no discount (charged per GB of run memory; the default 256 MB run pays it once).

The Store pricing card shows these prices per 1,000 events: "$0.66 / 1,000" on the Restaurant row means one restaurant with its full menu costs $0.00066.

Worked examples (GOLD)

• 1,000 restaurants with full menus: 1,000 x $0.00066 = $0.66, plus the $0.004 start = $0.664.
• A monitor run of 500 known restaurants of which 20 changed: 480 Menu checks x $0.00015 = $0.072, plus 20 Restaurants x $0.00066 = $0.0132, plus the $0.004 start = $0.0892.

What is free

Misses (unknown branches, areas, cities, chains, points Talabat does not deliver to, ambiguous names), shops left out of area lists (groceries, pharmacies, flowers), empty menus, filtered restaurants, repeats within a run, known restaurants a new only monitor skips, dishes whose options could not be read, and every coverage, status, areas and summary row. If you set a maximum charge for the run, add-on rows are cut first and the run stops before it passes the limit.

The monitor

Set monitorName and schedule the run. The Actor remembers what it delivered under that name in a key-value store it creates itself.

• changes (default): new restaurants are delivered as usual. A known restaurant is read again and compared with its last delivery: dish prices and old prices, dishes added and removed, rating, delivery fee, minimum order and the Talabat Pro flag, plus new reviews when reviews are on. A changed one is delivered again with a changes object (each price change carries the previous price) and charged as a Restaurant. An unchanged one gives one short restaurant_unchanged row: that is a Menu check (with reviews on, its reviewsChecked says whether the reviews were read). An unchanged restaurant is judged before the option trees, the Arabic menu and the chain figures are read, so a Menu check never pays for them (with Offer and label flags on, that one search is read first, because it carries the Pro flag the monitor compares).
• Reviews under a monitor: each review is delivered once. The first run delivers the newest, up to maxReviewsPerRestaurant; later runs deliver the reviews not delivered yet, newest first and up to the same number a run, back to the oldest day the first run delivered (one the cap left out comes in a later run; older reviews are never counted as new).
• new_only: only restaurants never delivered before; known ones are skipped without being read, free.
• resetMonitor: true forgets the memory and starts again.
• Max restaurants counts Menu checks too, so set it at least as high as the number of restaurants you watch.

Some menus change by time of day (breakfast and the rest of the day), and the monitor shows that as dish changes. Schedule a monitor at the same hour every day.

Use it from the API

Each call runs the Actor and returns its dataset (restaurant rows plus the free coverage and summary rows; filter on type). The synchronous endpoint waits up to 300 seconds, so keep these runs small or start a normal run for large ones. Replace MY_APIFY_TOKEN with your Apify API token.

curl

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/automation_craft~talabat-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer MY_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"areas": ["uae/1169"], "maxRestaurants": 20}'

Node.js

const res = await fetch('https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/automation_craft~talabat-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { Authorization: 'Bearer MY_APIFY_TOKEN', 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify({ chains: ['uae/mcdonalds'], maxRestaurants: 20 }),
});
const rows = await res.json();
const restaurants = rows.filter((row) => row.type === 'restaurant');
console.log(restaurants.length, restaurants[0]?.menu?.dishCount);

print(len(restaurants))

Use it from AI agents (MCP)

An AI agent connected to the Apify MCP server can call this Actor by its name, automation_craft/talabat-scraper, with the same input JSON as above. The dataset's field descriptions and views tell the agent what each column holds, and the free coverage row tells it what was read and why each entry stopped.

FAQ

Is there a Talabat API for restaurant menus?

This Actor works as one: it needs no Talabat partner account, key or login, reads the public talabat.com pages a logged out visitor sees, and you call it through the Apify API (examples above) with JSON in and rows out.

How do I get the list of all restaurants in a Talabat area or city?

Put the area in Areas (uae/1169, an area link or its name) or the city in Cities (uae/Dubai): every page of the area list is read, A to Z, and a city is read area by area from the centre out, each restaurant delivered once. List the cities and areas only returns every area id of a market as one free row.

Can I get the Talabat delivery fee and minimum order?

Yes, for every branch found through an area list (areas, cities, delivery points, markets alone, area links): deliveryFee, minimumOrder and deliveryTimeMinutes are the values the area list shows for that area. A branch reached by its menu link, branch id or chain gets null there, because Talabat's menu page shows placeholders for them.

Can I scrape Talabat reviews?

Turn on Customer reviews: each review is a row with its date, the reviewer's name from Talabat's first name field (sometimes a full name; Talabat's placeholder "First Name" is left empty), stars and text, newest first, up to 5,000 per restaurant (100 by default), optionally only since a date. Exact review figures adds the exact number of reviews and their average stars to the restaurant row at no extra charge.

Can I track Talabat menu price changes over time?

Yes. Name a monitor and schedule the run: each run delivers new restaurants and those whose dish prices, dishes, rating, delivery fee or minimum order changed, with the previous prices, and charges a small Menu check for each unchanged one.

Why does this Actor run with limited permissions?

It follows least privilege: it only writes its own run's dataset and key-value store. A monitor's memory is a named key-value store the Actor creates itself under your account.

What this Actor does NOT do

• No street addresses, phone numbers or e-mail addresses: Talabat's logged out pages carry none (no such field on 63 menu pages or 208 list rows). The branch name usually names the neighbourhood, and coordinates are included.
• No dish ratings: the field is 0 on 6,653 of 6,653 dishes measured, so delivering it would be a false figure.
• No opening hours, nutrition, calories, option photos or "Popular" option labels: not served. Area lists show only open or closed now.
• No grocery or pharmacy catalogues (Talabat Mart products): they are another product, on talabat.com's grocery and pharmacy pages, which this Actor does not read. Shops in area lists are left out free, or delivered with their list facts when you turn them on.
• Delivery fee, minimum order, delivery time and open status only for branches found through an area list. Search results carry the delivery time only.
• Offer text only from Talabat's search: search results, or Offer and label flags for other restaurants.
• No login, no orders, no account data, and no prices or fees from Talabat's app or checkout: the values are those talabat.com shows a logged out visitor at read time.
• No Saudi Arabia or Iraq: Saudi Arabia is no longer served on talabat.com and Iraq moved to a separate site this Actor does not read; both are refused with a free row.
• No residential proxy: requests leave from the run's own address, then Apify datacenter proxy sessions (one at a time, kept while Talabat accepts it) if Talabat refuses that address, or your own proxies. Your own proxy link needs a password of 8 or more characters with letters and digits, and no other setting may repeat part of its user name or password.
• Setting names are checked: a setting name the input does not have (a misspelt cuisine for cuisines) refuses the run before anything is read (only the run's start fee is charged), so a run never reads wider than you meant.
• No review ids or restaurant replies: Talabat's reviews carry none.

Changelog

• 0.1 (2026-10-18): first release. Restaurants by area, city, delivery point, search, chain, branch id and whole market, with full menus, dish options, reviews and monitors.
