How does Tastibase rank vada pav restaurants?

Tastibase uses a BERT AI model trained on 700,000 restaurant reviews to score each mention of vada pav in customer reviews. Scores combine AI sentiment (85%) and star ratings (15%), then apply Bayesian shrinkage — so a restaurant needs consistentpraise across many reviews, not just one glowing mention, to rank highly. More mentions pull a restaurant's score toward certainty; fewer mentions leave it pulled toward the average, so a place with 10 reviews can't fluke its way to #1 over a place with 100. Only reviews from the past 3 years are included.
