4. Are your reviews paid for or sponsored?

Not at all—we keep it 100% authentic! Ndolofood.com’s reviews are independent and unbiased. We don’t take payments from restaurants to feature them or influence our opinions. On occasion, we may collaborate with brands for sponsored content (like food product features or giveaways), but we’ll always disclose that clearly. Our commitment is to you, our readers, with honest insights you can trust.

5. How do you ensure your reviews are fair?

Fairness is the spice of our reviews! We visit restaurants anonymously, just like any other diner, to experience the food and service as it’s offered to the public. We evaluate based on consistent criteria: taste, presentation, service, ambiance, value, and overall vibe. If a place seems to have an off day, we may revisit to ensure our take is balanced. We strive to offer constructive feedback while celebrating what makes each spot special.

Restaurants are our main course, but we’re all about the full culinary feast! Beyond reviews, we dive into food festivals, share recipes, interview chefs, and explore food trends or cultural cuisines.

7. Can I trust your ratings and recommendations?

We pour our hearts into every review to make them as reliable as a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet. Our ratings stem from thorough, firsthand experiences and a standardized evaluation process. That said, food is personal—what sets our taste buds alight might not be your flavor. That’s why we provide detailed descriptions of dishes, vibes, and service, so you can decide what suits your palate. Our goal? Empower you to find your perfect dining match.

8. How often do you post new content?

We keep the content fresh and flavorful! Expect new restaurant reviews every week, sprinkled with other tasty posts like guides, recipes, or foodie features.
