Z for Zomato : Love us ? Hate us ? Yell (at) us ?? Tell us !!

Zomato is like Democracy. Its for the people. Of the people. By the people. 

 Zomato (Z) is a user-review page where people gets to decide what’s In & what’s Out of city.

Word-of-mouth is out. Word-of-Zomato is in.The first thing that comes to my tiny head when somebody says “lets go hog” is Z. Even to google, that happens to be the first thing in mind or on internet, So we think alike!! Don’t remember since when I started Z-ing every little place in Bangalore, but through Z searching for food, place, good ambiance, fast – service, I have found answer to many questions in life.

Starting from where to go for best cupcake to the nearest best place for burger.  Been to so many places, clicked so many pictures so far  & finally one fine day, decided I would start helping this world a little, by reviewing my share of places also. Social media is one such thing where anything can get viral & I believe it, by heart.

Some of the features that I personally die for,  in Z be : 

  • Searching restaurants location wise – which is my main criteria as we live in a city with such diversions.
    You pick your base location - North / South /  East / West
  • Wish list is like a dream come true. ( Like icing on cake for a  fat kid who loves cakes)  U put your wish in list & you won’t let that go till you get a chance to visit that place & eat like a yum.raj!!
Got a wish ? 
  • The section where management gets to reply to our reviews randomly.
    Cue Abba song - Thank for the service 
Common features/reasons of Z you know we love & you know you love, so everybody’s overwhelmed about it, are:

  1.  Photo stream 
  2.  Simple. Elegant. User Friendly page
  3.  Every.restaurtant ( almost) has a menu & photo page which is how we decide.
  4.  And difficulty in concentrating at work after seeing The drooling front page.

Reasons/features what I don’t like or would like to see in Z in near future:


  • More from management side to reply to reviews.  So far seeing it only from very limited management team of restaurants.
  • The fact that you can edit  your previous reviews is good but a chance to put together two reviews one after other for same restaurant from same reviewer ( before & after) as I have felt that it’s easier to go through reviews that way.
  • Common feature that I’d like to have on my Z profile is  – search places for a particular best dish or place where we get best chutney along with hara bhara kabab <3
  • Go more public with media & advertizing & keeping us all happy
