The question we hear most

"Why not just ask ChatGPT or open Google Maps?"

Fair question, and the honest answer is the whole reason TastePass exists.

Ask ChatGPT

It invents restaurants

Fluent and confident, and it will happily send you to a place that closed years ago or never existed. No way to tell which.

📍
Open Google Maps

A flat list of pins

Hundreds of dots, no plan, no sense of what's worth your one dinner, or how to string a day together on foot.

🧭
TastePass

A verified, routed day

Every venue real, currently open, and rated, arranged into a walkable day with a real meal at each stop.

What "verified" actually means

We would rather show you less than fake more

Six things a chatbot and a map cannot give you, and the only reasons to use us.

Checked real and currently open

Every venue is confirmed as a real, open place through Google Places before it enters a plan. No AI-invented or long-closed spots.

Founder-curated per city

A person picks the shortlist for each city, not a raw scrape dump. The tourist traps are left out on purpose.

A Maps link to the real venue, every time

Tap straight to Google Maps for the live rating, the live hours and the directions. A rating printed into a PDF is stale the day after we make it; the link never is. And no stock image ever stands in for a place we have not seen.

A routed day, not a pile of pins

Places are arranged into a walkable day with a real meal at each stop, so you spend the day eating, not planning.

Halal-aware and honest

We lead with what to eat and note what is worth knowing, we make no dietary verdicts, and we always say confirm with the venue. Vegetarian, pork-free and allergy notes are framing, not a ruling.

ع

Arabic first, not translated late

The Arabic experience is written to stand on its own, equal to the English, not run through a machine at the end.

Our one rule

If a thing is not real, it does not go on the page

We never invent a testimonial, a photo, or a partner logo, and we never show a number we have not earned. Halal and dietary notes are helpful content, never a verdict we are not qualified to give. The whole product is a bet that honesty is the luxury.
