Frequently asked questions

A food review site for Rawalpindi and Islamabad where you review the dish, not just the restaurant: taste, portion, value and hygiene, each rated separately. Reviews come from people who ate there, and nobody can quietly delete them.

Yes. Free for diners, and free for restaurants to be listed and to reply to reviews.

Rawalpindi and Islamabad for now. Each restaurant branch has its own menu, reviews and scores.

The website works on any phone or computer, in light or dark mode. An Android app is planned; we'll announce it when it's ready.

No. ReviewKar is independent and not affiliated with any restaurant listed. Restaurants can't pay to change scores or remove reviews. Deals you see are offered by the restaurants themselves and never affect scores.

Sign in with Google, open the restaurant or dish (or search for it), and tap to review. Rate taste, portion, value and hygiene from 1 to 5, say whether you dined in or got takeaway / delivery, write what you thought and add up to 3 photos of your food.

Each dish and branch gets a score out of 5 from the average of its four ratings. Only reviews with a bill uploaded count toward the score. If a dish has reviews but none with a bill yet, it shows "No score yet".

Your review is published, but it carries a red No bill · not in score tag until you upload your bill. Once our team checks it looks genuine, it gets the green Bill uploaded badge and counts toward the score. This stops people who never paid, or who are thinking of a visit from years ago, from pushing a score up or down.

That the reviewer privately uploaded a bill that looks genuine for that restaurant. It confirms the visit, not the opinion: reviews are always the reviewer's own view, not ReviewKar's.

You can fix it for 5 minutes after posting (until someone votes on it or you upload a bill). After that it's permanent, so nobody, not even you, can quietly change the record. If you go back later, you can review the same dish again after 30 days; your earlier visit stays visible.

No. Restaurants can reply once, publicly, but they can't hide, edit or delete reviews, and a review being negative is never a reason to remove it. We only remove content that breaks the Review guidelines or the law, and the author sees why.

Votes on other people's reviews. Tap Legit if a review seems genuine and useful, or Looks Fake if it seems paid, copied or not first-hand (not just because you disagree). Reviews with many Looks Fake votes are checked by our team. Nobody is told who voted.

New accounts can review and vote 2 hours after signing up, and there are limits on how often you can post. These keep fake accounts and spam out.

Only the ReviewKar team, to check it. Bills are never shown on the site, to other users or to restaurants. You can cover your phone number or account details; we only need the restaurant, date and amount.

Nobody else. Other users and restaurants never see them, how you voted, or who you follow. Your handle is public; your picture, name and review history are public only if you set your profile to Public.

No. Hidden location and camera details are removed from every photo before it's stored.

No. We don't sell personal information or use it for advertising. See the Privacy Policy.

Search for it and tap Can't find the restaurant? Request it, or request it here. Tell us the name and city and we'll look into adding it.

List your restaurant with its name, number of branches, city and a contact email and phone. Our team will get in touch to set it up. It's free.

Verified owners and managers get a business account with branch dashboards (score, recent trend, common complaints, weakest dishes), one public reply per review, and deals that show a ⚡ tag on their branch once approved. They can't post reviews, vote, or pay to change scores. See For restaurants.

With your Google account. ReviewKar never sees your Google password.

Yes, on your profile page. A private profile shows only your handle on your reviews; your picture, name, history and followers are hidden.

Email our contact email (coming soon). When an account is deleted we remove your email, name, phone, gender, picture and Google link; your reviews stay published under your handle, because reviews are permanent.

Use Contact & complaints with a link to it and the reason. If you're the business being reviewed, the same applies, but a negative opinion alone isn't grounds for removal.
