FAQ

Is this an official restaurant ranking?

No. It is a playful editorial bracket of styles and area legends. We do not award trademark brand winners or claim certified “best biryani in Chennai.”

Where are my votes stored?

Only in this browser (localStorage). Nobody else sees your crown unless you share it.

Can menus and recipes change?

Always. Treat style notes as conversation starters — confirm today’s plate with the kitchen.
