Ratings and reviews

It's great to find restaurants near you. However, you have to get a different app to order from these restaurants. Someone who is American and who wants to get in touch with their roots may have trouble trusting the restaurants provided since you have to go somewhere else to order. For me I'm just staring at these restaurants that I will probably never eat at because it is still not accessible.
