Swiggy Complaints & Reviews

I am writing to formally register a serious grievance against an online food delivery platform, Swiggy, and the restaurant Dakshin South Indian Hut, Ashok Nagar (Delhi), for delivering unsafe and contaminated food, which could have resulted in a serious health hazard.

On 28th May 2025, I placed an order via Swiggy (Order ID: [protected]) for a Dosa from the above-mentioned restaurant. However, upon consuming the food, I was shocked to discover a solid metal rivet embedded in the sambar. Additionally, the dosa was spoiled and soggy, clearly indicating poor food quality and lack of hygiene protocols.

This is not only a violation of basic food safety standards but also poses a serious risk to consumer health. I immediately raised the issue with Swiggy's customer service, but they refused to resolve or take any accountability for the matter.

Such negligence from both the food aggregator and the restaurant is unacceptable and needs to be dealt with strictly under the Food Safety and Standards Act. I am attaching photographic and documentary evidence for your kind perusal.

Request:

I request your esteemed authority to kindly:

1. Investigate the matter urgently.

2. Take strict action against Swiggy and the restaurant involved.

3. Ensure such food safety violations are not repeated in the future.

Very Disappointed – Found sharp plastic pieces in My Food

I usually don’t leave negative reviews, but this experience was unacceptable. I ordered Dal makhani rice bowl from BOX8 - Desi meals on[protected], and to my shock, I found pieces of plastic in the food. This is not just poor quality control — it’s a serious safety hazard.

I expected a safe, enjoyable meal, and instead I was left concerned about my health. I reached out for the help, but they just want me to wait and wait longer.

This kind of oversight is completely inexcusable. I hope the management takes this seriously and implements better safety and hygiene standards moving forward. Until then, I won’t be ordering from here again — and I’d advise others to be cautious.

My friend placed an order for me from swiggy with the order ID#[protected] which was already paid at the same time. However the delivery partner(Avdesh Kumar Mishra, [protected]) told me that the order was COD and double charged me at the time of delivery. Ever since the delivery boy's phone number is either unanswerable or switched off. I tried taking help from swiggy customer care but neither did they connected to the delivery partner nor did they resolve my issue, instead they kept me waiting for almost an hour on the chat desk. I would like to file a complain against the delivery boy as well the swiggy help desk for such misconduct and fraudulent behavior and would like to have a refund of any one payment I made for the order.

I ordered two items from McDonald's via the Swiggy app. However, the McFlurry was missing from my order, and the cold drink had completely spilled over all the food.

I specifically ordered this meal because it included the McFlurry. I called your representative, but they put the call on hold and seemed to go elsewhere. After some time, the call was disconnected. I need you to refund my amount and also ensure better handling from your employees.

If possible, kindly check the recordings of the two calls. I called from +91 [protected].

This was my worst experience with Swiggy. Please refund my amount to UPI ID [protected]@pthdfc.

Kindly resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Hi i had placed an order from swiggy on 04 th May vide order number #[protected]

The order was wrongly placed and i cancelled within 2 minutes. However i was charges the entire amount of 527 as cancellation fees

I escalated the matter to their support desk, who stated that as per their policy they penalize the whole amount of cancellation to compensate for the food wastage and the rider charges

when i cancelled the order within 2 minutes where was the food made for wastage compensation and when was the rider assigned for the delivery

This is simply swiggy putting a penalty on customer and taking away their money without any justification or manual

No swiggy manual states that cancellation within 2 minutes shall attract the total amount as penalty

Dear Customer,

Greetings from Swiggy Instamart.

I certainly understand your concern and apologize for any inconvenience caused but we regret to inform you that we will not have the option to process the refund since we were unable to validate your claim.

Having said that, I would also like to assure you that we always take our customer's complaints very seriously and that we have taken this up with the concerned team who will definitely look into this issue. We would once again like to apologize.

Thank you for choosing Swiggy! Have a great day and stay safe.

Instamart Support

Please look into our issue Sir If no refund or compensation is there what we will do with wrong Defective Product? kindly please initiate Refund /Exchange Sir.

I ordered a Tomato Pizza via Swiggy, but received a cold, messy pizza with a piece of capsicum inside. The box was also partially damaged and the pizza was upside down.

This is a clear case of wrong item delivered and careless handling. I uploaded a photo through Swiggy’s app and even tweeted tagging @SwiggyCares, but there has been no response or refund.

As a customer, I expect the item I paid for — not a poorly handled, incorrect item.
I request a full refund and a clear resolution from Swiggy. If not resolved, I’ll escalate this further legally and through food safety channels.

Platform: Swiggy App

Subject: Non-issuance of Promised ₹150 Coupon by Swiggy Despite Repeated Follow-ups

Complaint:

I am writing to file a complaint against Swiggy for failing to issue a ₹150 coupon that was promised to me. It has been over 10–12 days, and despite multiple follow-ups with their customer support, the issue remains unresolved.

Every time I reach out to them, I am told that there was a “technical issue” and to wait another 24–48 hours. However, this cycle has repeated several times without any actual resolution. I have screenshots of the conversation where the coupon was promised and where their support repeatedly assures me that it will be resolved “soon.”

This behavior is not only unprofessional but also deceptive. I feel cheated and frustrated as a loyal customer.

Resolution Sought: I request Swiggy to:

Immediately issue the promised ₹150 coupon.

Provide an explanation for the delay and mishandling of the complaint.

Ensure better customer service so such issues are not repeated.

I ordered food using Swiggy app order id [protected]. This item was showing for bolt delivery hence I ordered it because i am hungry. They literally delivered after 45 minutes the food was not hot obviously not eatable because that was Rolls it has no taste after gets cold.thats why it was gone in dustbin. I chat with their bot and also after multiple times of try connected their support on chat. Asked them that order not even ready yet, they said after confirmation that restaurant not prepared order yet, but before that i already confirmed with the restaurant that order was already ready within 10 i asked them for a proof so they said they have CCTV their so i can get it. Even restaurant already mentioned that the updated the status Swiggy not showing to their customers that was restaurants faults. After that Swiggy support team accepted their mistake and apologised me.
Request direct customer care support and fine them for false commitment and misleading advertising of bolt delivery and biggest one reason to wastage of food. ( i am from the farmers family i know the values of food )
I have that all recordings of chat.

Hi, this is Shravan.

I had ordered food on Swiggy, but it was not delivered. I tried calling the delivery person, but he did not answer. I then reached out to Swiggy’s support team for help, but they are not responding. The amount has been debited from my account, but I have not received my order. Despite sending multiple emails to the Swiggy team, I have not received any response.

Respected Sir/Madam,

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Swiggy regarding their unprofessional handling of my issue. My order (Order ID: [protected]) from Burger Bites through Swiggy was incomplete, as the regular mayo dip I paid for was missing.

Upon realizing the issue, I contacted Swiggy’s support team. Instead of resolving it immediately, they asked me to email them, causing unnecessary delays. After multiple follow-ups and escalations, they refunded only ₹12, which was inadequate given the inconvenience caused. However, my concern is no longer just about the missing item but about Swiggy’s complete disregard for customer service.

Despite my repeated attempts to communicate with them via email, Swiggy has chosen to ignore my messages, demonstrating a clear lack of accountability. Their failure to properly address my complaint and refusal to engage in further communication violates basic consumer rights.

My Grievances:
Failure to deliver the complete order – I paid for an item that was never provided.
Inadequate resolution – ₹12 was refunded, which does not compensate for the issue or inconvenience.
Lack of response – After the refund, Swiggy has ignored all further emails, leaving the matter unresolved.
Poor customer service – No proper escalation mechanism or accountability in handling customer complaints.
Requested Resolution:
A formal acknowledgment of Swiggy’s service failure and corrective action.
A fair and reasonable compensation for the inconvenience caused.
Assurance that Swiggy improves its complaint-handling process to avoid similar issues for other customers.
I kindly request the consumer forum to take necessary action against Swiggy for their negligence in addressing customer concerns. I am attaching relevant screenshots of my conversations with Swiggy’s support team and emails as proof.

I hope for a swift resolution to this issue.

Hello team
I had ordered food on Friday i.e. dated as 14th march, 2025 in the Swiggy. But one of the item - Chicken Kebab (5pcs) was missing in the delivery, when I had mailed to Swiggy, they responded back with the below information & they had closed my case:
"Thank you for writing to us, we'll share the feedback with the restaurant considering the responsibility of packing the items lies with them.

Unfortunately, we are unable to process any refund for this order; however, we suggest that you rate the restaurant on the app based on your experience to help them do better. "

Post this I couldn't either write a mail or connect through a phone call.

We request to give back the refund or redeliver our product back to us.

On 13th March 2025, I ordered 6 Black Forest, 1 Alpansho Mango family tub, 1 Oreo and Cream cup ice cream of Kwality Walls from Swiggy. Of which all the Black Forest Ice creams were expired. These were expired in Aug 2024, still they send delivered those Ice creams to me. Me and my 6 years old nephew had 1 ice cream each, after that we saw that. I have informed Swiggy about that, but they are not taking any action. I have mailed them as well to take a strong action on them and refund my money back of those 6 ice creams only. They replied to me that they will connect with me within 24 hours, but it's been 48 hours, still no reply from their side.

Stop using Swiggy and stop eating Kwality Walls, both are responsible for this. They don't care about customers. Really disappointed.

I placed my order on seiggy application on 14 march 2025 @ 5:46pm
and order reaches me @ 7:23pm
the order was 1.27 hrs delay and when i raised my concern for the same to one of the executive, she cancelled my order without any knowledge of mine
now its showing an cancellatine fee of ₹293 on my account
so when i haven't cancelled my order of my own, why i am liable to pay the charge
when i try to contact at thier customer support, they didn't help me

I ordered from Swiggy (Order ID: #[protected]) and paid for Biryani Jumbo Pack & Veg Manchuria (Half). However, Veg Manchuria was missing from my order!

I immediately contacted Swiggy support, but instead of resolving the issue, they just asked me to leave a review for the restaurant and refused to refund my money for the missing item. This is completely unfair and unacceptable!

Why should customers pay for items they never received? I demand a refund or compensation immediately! 🚨

On Feb25, 2025 I ordered a few items on Swiggy Instamart. One of them is Garnier Color Naturals Creme Hair color shade 3 darkest brown box. Since I didn't need it for immediate use and ordered it only to get the "free" home delivery, I left it unopened. When I opened the box last week, I found that one of the contents was missing. The box usually has a tube of colourant, a bottle of developer, 2 sachets of conditioner and a pair of gloves. But the box i purchased had the developer bottle missing. I complained it to Swiggy through email last week. But till now there has been no response and not even an acknowledgement email from Swiggy. I am ready to return the product and want a refund of my money.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to formally complain about the **non-payment of my ₹20, 000 payout** from the Minis platform after successfully selling my digital product. Despite multiple attempts to contact your support team, I have received **no response**. Additionally, your platform provides **no customer support number**, making it impossible to reach you for urgent resolution.

This delay in payment is **highly unprofessional and unethical**. Your seniors, including **Mr. Shriharsha Majety**, are responsible for ensuring fair business practices, yet this issue remains unresolved. If my payment is not processed immediately, I will be left with no choice but to:

1. **Report this matter to the Consumer Forum (NCH) and RBI Ombudsman**
2. **File a legal complaint against Minis/Swiggy for financial fraud**
3. **Expose this scam on social media and online forums**

I request immediate action on this matter. Kindly process my **₹20, 000 payout** at the earliest or provide a valid reason for the delay. I expect a response within **48 hours**, failing which I will escalate the issue legally and publicly.

Order/Transaction Details:
- Transaction ID:[protected]
- **Date of Sale: 2nd March 2025
- Registered Email/Phone: [protected]@gmail.com

Awaiting your urgent response.
