The Birth of Trofi: A Mission to Transform the Way We Dine

It all started during a visit to a fancy restaurant in Visakhapatnam, India. The ambience was stunning, and the prices—well, they were as extravagant as we had imagined. But we were eager to indulge and try something extraordinary. In my mind, I believed everything on the menu would be incredible—it’s fancy and pricey, after all.

The waiter approached us with a smile and asked, “What would you like to order?” As we scanned the menu, we felt overwhelmed by the choices. So, we turned to him for advice. “What’s the best dish here?” we asked. His answer was quick and confident: “The mutton and biryani are our specialties.”

Trusting his recommendation, we placed our order along with some starters. The starters? They were just okay. But the real disappointment came when the mutton and biryani arrived. Neither dish lived up to the hype. Feeling let down, we called the waiter back. He assured us he would "make it right" and returned with the same dishes. Confused and a bit frustrated, we decided to try again—but it was the same story. By the end of the meal, disappointment was written all over our faces.

The Journey Begins

We started by creating videos reviewing buffets across Visakhapatnam, ensuring every review was genuine and insightful. While we gained a loyal audience, we also faced challenges. Restaurants began asking us to take down our videos. Some even resorted to fake accounts to post negative comments, trying to drown out our honest reviews and promote their paid influencers.

Despite the pushback, it was a fun and fulfilling journey. But I realized that videos alone wouldn't be enough in the long run. That’s when the idea of Trofi took shape—a dedicated platform where every dish could be reviewed with accuracy and integrity.

A Bold Mission

When I shared the idea, I was met with skepticism: “How will you rate every dish? What if someone tries to bribe the reviewers?” I didn’t have answers to all the questions, but I knew one thing: It’s possible. And I’m committed to making it happen.

Food is at the heart of every celebration, every memory. Yet, when we dine out, we often find ourselves guessing—or worse, gambling—on what might taste good. Why settle for “regular” dishes out of fear of the unknown?

Trofi is on a mission to change the way we eat. Imagine opening an app and instantly knowing how every dish tastes, backed by reviews from a dedicated team who puts honesty above everything else.

We’re here to ensure that every meal becomes a moment worth cherishing. Because at Trofi, we believe you deserve the best—and we won’t stop until we make it happen. Join us in revolutionizing dining. Let’s make every bite extraordinary.
