What it does best

How these scores work
Every score here comes only from public reviews from the last three years, weighted so a single glowing write-up can’t inflate a dish — a kitchen needs steady, repeated praise to rank well. Tastibase’s dish scores sit alongside Indian Tadka Semaphore’s overall 4.8-star rating, but go a level deeper: they tell you which specific dishes are worth ordering, not just how the venue rates overall.
How scores work: Tastibase scores individual dishes, not whole restaurants. AI sentiment (85%) + star ratings (15%), Bayesian-shrunk, last 3 years only. Full methodology →
