About
The Food Advocate is more than a restaurant review platform, it’s an immersive journey into the world of dining, culture, and culinary innovation. Led by Dr. Habib Al Mulla, The Food Advocate was born from a deep passion for gastronomy, artistry, and the stories behind each plate. With over 1,400 independently written reviews of restaurants around the world, Dr. Habib offers readers an unfiltered look into some of the most celebrated and emerging dining destinations across 32 countries and nearly 100 cities.
Authenticity Above All
In an era when the global food industry exceeds $4.3 trillion annually, and marketing budgets often influence public perception, The Food Advocate stands apart as a voice of unbiased integrity. Each review is written from firsthand experience, no sponsorships, collaborations, or paid endorsements. Every meal reviewed is personally funded by Dr. Habib and The Food Advocate, ensuring total transparency and credibility.
Why It Matters
A 2024 hospitality report revealed that over 70% of online food content is influenced by paid partnerships. The Food Advocate rejects that model. Here, opinions cannot be bought, and excellence cannot be staged. Instead, every assessment reflects authentic encounters with food, service, and atmosphere.
Passion Meets Purpose
Dr. Habib’s fascination extends far beyond flavor—he is captivated by the craftsmanship, the evolution of culinary techniques, and the diverse cultures that shape dining worldwide. His global explorations have brought him to Michelin-starred temples of cuisine, humble street food stalls, and visionary new openings redefining gastronomy. From Tokyo’s meticulous omakase experiences to Dubai’s avant-garde fine dining, his reviews bridge continents and cuisines, celebrating both tradition and innovation.
Unbiased. Uncompromised. Uncommercial.
The Food Advocate’s credibility lies in its independence. Unlike many platforms driven by sponsorships or influencer marketing, our reviews remain 100% free of commercial influence. Readers can trust that every critique, rating, and recommendation is based purely on genuine experience, not brand relationships or advertising agreements.
