How the Ratings Work

India’s first and only restaurant rating system of its kind, the Ultimate Restaurant Ratings follows a meticulous, anonymous, and merit-based evaluation process, making it a trusted benchmark for Indian gastronomy.

⭐⭐⭐ 3 Stars – Very Good
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 Stars – Excellent
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars – The Ultimate

Unlike traditional restaurant awards in India—many of which are influenced by sponsorships, advertising pressures, or fees paid by restaurants for nominations—Culinary Culture’s rating system is built on integrity. Each restaurant is evaluated anonymously by full-time referees through a rigorous multi-stage process, which includes nominations, anonymous screenings by Food Referees, in-depth debates, and a final distillation process to ensure only the most deserving establishments receive recognition.

The platform remains entirely independent and does not accept any fees from restaurants for nominations or inclusion.
