Spot
Use Maps for the route. Use Spot for the bite.
Find hidden food spots, local favourites, and the dishes people actually go there for.
Google Maps tells you where. Spot tells you what to order.
Google Maps shows a pin. It can't tell you the place is famous for one specific dish — and everything else is average.
Small stalls, tea corners, and late-night vendors don't have 500+ reviews. But locals know exactly where to go.
Every place has one or two things they're truly known for. Finding that without asking three friends shouldn't be hard.
Stars and counts don't capture why a place matters locally. Community proof — saves, tried dishes, photos — does.
Browse food spots around you — from popular cafés to the corner stall that locals swear by.
Every spot shows its standout dishes — tagged, reviewed, and validated by the community.
Log your food adventures. Your tried dishes and saves build your local foodie profile over time.
Upload a Bite — a photo + dish tag. Every Bite becomes community proof that helps the next person decide.
We're not replacing Maps. We're filling the gap it leaves — the one where locals actually know best.
