How this score works

The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.

Burst
— an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
Low activity account
— the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
Duplicate text
— the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.

Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

As an Egyptian American, it’s rare to find niche dishes like feteer at middle eastern restaurants. When I say the feteer is so crispy and the ingredients, especially the pastrami and sausage, are truly Egyptian I. Flavor, I’m not kidding. G...

Got the mix feteer. Really nice flaky pastry and generous filling of meat, vegetables, and cheese. The olives really took it to the next level. Large portion, 3 of us were able to share one order

My order was delayed by 50 minutes and cashier refused to give an estimate and was very rude. Even the people that order pies while I am waiting for my pies got it before me.

Such rude service. I arrived after 35 minutes of ordering pickup on doordash as the app said the order is likely to be ready based on the estimate the restaurant gave them. I asked about my order, the cashier very arrogantly said it wasn’t...

Very delicious feteers. I highly recommend this place. Service is very friendly but very slow 🦥 And they automatically add service tip to your bill.
