By: Rahma Haggag
During your daily scrolling through social media mainly Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, you will always find yourself looking at pictures of food that are captured by influencers and bloggers. Bloggers always present beautiful pictures of food, showing how perfectly it looks, and this always influences people to go for this type of food and try it.
Don’t you think that the quality of food lies in its taste and smell? Nowadays, not all people are lucky enough to have a good degree of food choice because many people chose to be influenced by what they see through the bloggers’ and influencers’ stories and posts on social media, rather than being influenced by what they really love to eat.
Moreover, people always think that this food, which they see behind their phone screens will always be the most delicious food just because some blogger or influencer posted about it.
On the other hand, there are many restaurants that really serve savory food but they are underrated just because they are not famous or fancy enough, and for these reasons, they are less frequently posted about. Here are some underrated restaurants and takeaway food places where you can really find tasty and good food.
