FAQ

How do you decide which restaurants count as "DIFC"?

We match each restaurant's verified GPS coordinates against a lat/long boundary drawn from DIFC's real map extent, rather than relying on a neighborhood field in our data that isn't populated yet. Any restaurant we track in Dubai whose coordinates fall inside that boundary is included.

Does this include Downtown Dubai restaurants?

No — Downtown Dubai sits just south of DIFC and has its own dedicated list. We drew the two boundaries to not overlap, so a restaurant appears on one list or the other, never both.

How is the Trust Rating calculated?

Trust Rating (0–100) is a volume-weighted average of normalised ratings from Google and TripAdvisor — see our methodology for full detail.
