Numerous restaurants, food joints and kiosks are serving a range of cuisines all over the country for our foodophiles. From spicy Mexican to Malaysian masalas, all the tastes of the world have found its place in this country of food lovers. 

Many people face problems finding an appropriate eatery. Multimedia Content and Communication (MCC), one of the country's leading mobile app development companies, has come up with a solution. It's newly launched free mobile application, called 'Let's Eat,' is a comprehensive guide to restaurants not only for Dhaka but across the country. Ikram Hossain, a regular user of the app, says, "I was travelling to Bogra from Dhaka. I did not know where I could find the best dishes of the district. Let's Eat helped me find the best place for my desired taste."

This app divides restaurants all over the country by location and cuisine. Each restaurant's profile presents location, menu and different offers by the restaurant in the users' android Smartphone. The option 'highlights' in the app  gives special information about the places , like whether they have Wi-Fi or a kids corner in the establishment. Samia Alam, a university student says, "I find the search option of the app very useful. When I want to eat biriyani, I type the word biriyani and the location, and detailed information of all the biriyani joints in that location appear in my phone. The exact locations of the restaurants also pop up through Google map. The app is awesome and very user-friendly."

The app also allows its users to create a personal profile in it. In the profile, a user can gain followers, upload photos, statuses and comments on his/her food experiences. Users can also post reviews and ratings of the restaurants. 

The CEO of MCC Ltd., Ashraf Abir, says, "Let's Eat is not just a mobile application; it is a virtual restaurant guide. We are working to improve the usefulness of the app by expanding its scope to the international arena." "Very soon, we will release listings of restaurants in Kolkata, Kathmandu, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Singapore and London, so that Let's Eat users travelling abroad will be able to find information about restaurants nearby," he elaborates.

This free android app can be downloaded from Google Play (its download link:  http://goo.gl/ZQwhGv). Immediately after its official launching this month, the app has already created a buzz among the foodies of our country. Simply put, after downloading the app, anyone will find it to be a very useful guide to find any food corner in Bangladesh.
