How Tastibase ranks dishes
No paid placements. No star averages. Pure signal.
44,000+ real reviews
We analysed publicly available reviews from 289 Indian restaurants across Adelaide — reading only review text, never rating-only responses.
AI sentiment per dish
A BERT model trained on 700,000 Yelp reviews reads each sentence and scores sentiment for the specific dish mentioned.
Bayesian scoring
Scores use Bayesian shrinkage — one glowing review can't top the chart. Restaurants need consistent praise across many reviews.
