In 2004, Talabat General Trading and Contracting Company was founded by Abdulaziz Al Loughani and Khaled Al Otaibi in Kuwait. The name “talabat” derives from the Arabic language and literally means “orders” or “requests”.
As Talabat’s popularity grew locally, it won the “Best E-Business Award” repeatedly in 2008 and 2009 with special recognition from the Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah.
