Form Mode gives you explicit control over your restaurant search. Instead of writing a free-text message, you choose your city from a dropdown, describe the food you want, and select a price range. This is useful when you want to be precise about location or budget, or when you already know exactly what you’re after.

​
How to use Form Mode

Go to the recommendation page

Open /recommend in your browser.

At the top of the page, click the Form tab to switch to Form Mode.

​
What you get back

Results appear as the same recommendation cards used in Chat Mode, each showing:
  • Restaurant name
  • Reason — why the spot matches your inputs
  • Predicted rating
  • Cultural note — context about the restaurant’s vibe or signature dishes

​
Tips

Leave the Preferred Food field blank to get general Nigerian restaurant recommendations for your chosen city and price range. The engine will return a broad mix of well-rated spots.
If you grant location access, Form Mode uses your GPS coordinates for a 5km radius search even though you’ve selected a city. Your GPS position takes priority. See Geolocation.

Chat Mode vs Form Mode

Use Chat Mode when you want to describe a craving naturally. Use Form Mode when you want precise control over every parameter.
