The Mission: We always filter by "4.0 and above." We live in a curated bubble of competence. But what exists at the bottom? What does a 1.2-star Biryani taste like? I found the worst-rated restaurant in my city on Zomato ("Spicy Mahal") and ordered their bestseller.

RATING: 1.2 ★

> THE COMMENTS SECTION (WARNING SIGNS)

Before the food arrived, I read the reviews. They were poetry.

"The chicken was uncooked. I think it was still clucking." - Rahul G.
"I found a staple pin in my naan. Iron deficiency solved." - Priya M.
"Worst mistake of my life. My dog refused to eat this." - Amit K.

> THE ARRIVAL

The packaging was... wet. The bag was leaking oil. Not a little oil. A lot of oil. It was transluscent.

Item: Chicken Biryani Special (₹180).

> VISUAL INSPECTION

COLOR

Neon Orange. Radioactive. This is not turmeric; this is industrial dye.

SMELL

Confusing. Smells like cardamom, but also like damp cardboard?

> THE TASTE TEST

BIOLOGICAL HAZARD LEVEL: CRITICAL
TIME: 1:00 PM
BITE 1: The Rice. Overcooked. Mushy. It's like eating spicy porridge.

TIME: 1:02 PM
BITE 2: The Chicken. Hard. Rubbery. I suspect this chicken was an athlete. It died fighting.

TIME: 1:05 PM
ACCIDENTAL DISCOVERY: I found a whole clove. Expected. I also found a piece of plastic wrapper. Unexpected.

> THE 1-HOUR AFTERMATH

Symptom Severity
Regret 10/10
Stomach Rumbling 4/10 (Ominous)
Sweating 6/10

> WHY DOES IT EXIST?

I realized something. This restaurant isn't selling food; they are selling calories at 3 AM. Most reviews were from late night. When you are drunk or desperate, 1.2 stars looks like 5 stars.

They optimize for Quantity and Price, not Taste. The portion was huge. Only ₹180 for 1kg of chemical rice.

> CONCLUSION

There is a reason libraries have quality control. There is a reason cuisines evolve. This meal was a culinary glitch. It resembled food, but it lacked the soul of food.

Verdict: Don't do it. The reviews are real. Trust the hive mind.
