Dining apps promise discounts, easy bookings and reliable information, but the experience doesn't always match. This guide covers what Indian diners complain about most, how to judge an app's privacy, the safest way to save payment details, and where to check festival timings.

Quick Answers

• Top complaints: offers refused at the restaurant, unhonoured reservations, wrong timings and slow refunds.

• Privacy: choose apps with clear consent controls, minimal permissions and an account-deletion option.

• Payments: use tokenised cards or UPI, and never save details on unfamiliar apps.

• Timings: trust a restaurant-confirmed booking over a static listing, and call ahead on festival days.
