I'm a single dude, so I will admit to some biases. An attractive waitress unfortunately yields an average rating's bump of one star (inshaAllah--one star per look). Watch for phrases like 'gorgeous settings' and 'beautiful service' to flag my brain's turn for the reptilian. Also, I'm definitely a value eater, so portion and price matter. Last, I am fearless when trying new dishes, but if I find something I like, I tend to stick with it for a long time. As such, my ratings may reflect only a sliver of a restaurant's menu.
Since our Rasul (saw) ate such simple meals, and with so many of our brothers and sisters suffering from hunger, reviewing restaurants has me feeling a bit guilty. The least I can do is supplicate on their behalf, and I pray you join me. May Allah reward them for their trials! Ameen!
