I accept this challenge as I share food and travel reviews on Maps. The recent video I posted was of a sumptuous Pav Bhaji which is one of the local street food from Mumbai city in India. I had Pav Bhaji at Amar Juice Centre in Phoenix Market City Mall in Kurla, Mumbai. Amar Juice Centre is a popular place in Mumbai known for its Pav Bhaji. They have many outlets in Mumbai.

I loved the ambience at this outlet in Kurla. The ambience and the service is good. Enjoyed relishing over piping hot Pav Bhaji smeared with Butter and served with some onions.The perfect food to fill up your cravings.

@user_not_found ,

This whole link business has been a major headache for everyone. You can copy and paste the correct link into your submission post from your phone. What you may not realize , is that even when the link is correct, it won’t work from a phone. You can trust TravellerG and me that these links work and will allow your submission to be considered. As I pointed out earlier, you have 2 videos there so you need decide which one you want to submit.

Long press the one below that you want and choose copy link. then go to your submission and edit it and add the correct link. Tag me when you are done and I will double check it for you. You are so close, please don’t give up!

The link to the second one (it has a candle on a table)

Wie immer Danke für die Hilfe.

Irgendwie hat es mit den Infos nicht so richtig funktioniert. Aber @TravellerG

hatte mich noch mal darauf hingewiesen und ich habe es entsprechend mit deinem Link geändert. Es ist auf jeden Fall das Video das mit Besteck beginnt , diese Information habe ich dir aber auch schon geschrieben. Ich denke bei allen Hilfen die ihr so leistet ist das übersehen worden.

Ich bitte nochmals um Überprüfung ob es jetzt richtig funktioniert.

Thank you for making our prayers come alive and bringing us a new challenge @InaS !
With this video, I wanted to show a bakery that is showing up throughout my country and has some great small snacks just made for travelling. I usually stop by and buy a few and sometimes even a coffee since thats another thing they sell. It’s quick and it’s cheap so there are no second thoughts about it!

Hello @InaS Here is my video for the challenge.

I’m a veggie food fan and due to World Vegetarian Awareness Month, I went to a vegan restaurant to share my experience on the map with respective photos and videos. This restaurant is also on one of my popular lists: Vegetarian Restaurants in the Country.

I ordered a veggie cheeseburger because the burger mostly is known as a meat food and showing that this food could be also cooked with veggie ingredients, encourages people to test vegetarian foods.

This is hard to select one between the videos I’ve shared about this place on the map since I had a scenario for each of them, but I like this video more for several reasons.

Try-a-Veggie-Burger.png

Based on your suggestion I kept it up to 10 seconds. I think this video, shows the food and its ingredients in a clear shot. The veggie burger not only is seen from the side but also from the top and the cut is visible in the video. Also, the sauce and the simple garnish are considered to be visible in the video.

This video also shows the drink and glass, and some parts of the restaurant. Even the restaurant’s menu is visible in the background in a blurry perspective, which I shared in a clear photo, too.

Moreover, this video has a nice move from the restaurant’s menu and logo to the food itself. I think the curved path over the vegan burger gives a good feeling to the users and tells them “Let’s go to see one of the foods of this restaurant”

And about the music, the background music was really played in the restaurant and it is not an additional sound effect. But I tried to start capturing and ending it in a way to fits perfectly with the video path. And then, one amazing accidental effect came in: the play of the light of the sun in the background, which is reflected from the cars and door glass and creates a natural dancing light.

Finally showing all parts of the food on the screen as the last scene, is a kind of representation of food that without any additional voice, says “Here you are!

And as a side note, one fun thing I like about this final scene is that the burger with those seeds over the bread is like the mushrooms :mushroom: in the Super Mario stories :smile:

This is the Last Shop of india situated in Mana Village in Uttarakhand (India).

it was the best day of my life

And this was the last place of my bike ride because after Char Dham Yatra, I had gone to Mana village which is very beautiful and the valleys and mountains here attract everyone and coming here gives a different kind of peace

Last i want to say that by the help of google guide/google Maps we can also help small business/vendors (Food stalls) to grow there business by adding them on google map and reviewing them according to their food quality because some of them have only that small business/food stalls to make their livelihood.

Awesome challenge idea @InaS (and @PattyBlack & @Mikeinthefalls :grin: )

The link to my submission is: https://maps.app.goo.gl/RRQXmawvnMnrwDvR6

I chose to highlight a Local Scottsdale, Arizona (USA) restaurant called The Herb Box. They have a focus on comfort food using locally sourced ingredients. Originally, they were in far North Scottsdale, but have re-located to a unique building with a large outdoor eating area - for the months where Arizona isn’t 110 degrees - and multiple rooms to host large dinner parties. It is a beautiful space & quite an upgrade from the last location.

I was there for an open house that highlighted the options available for hosting parties. I’ve already posted about their food, but I have never let dessert sit on my table long enough to get a photo. Well, I was in luck! The staff put out a full display of all kinds of dessert options they have on the menu, and, just before grabbing one of everything, I thought this would be the PERFECT opportunity to make a video to show off the beautiful spread.

This was the first video I’ve posted directly to the Explore Tab. It was a very easy process, and I’m happy to see that the video found its way into my other contributions at this location in addition to being available in my Photo Updates list.

Hello dear LG friend, @TiffanyStockstill ,

12.10 at 6:30 IST also your photo is not visible.

https://goo.gl/maps/LeyN869kS6Na9pE67

Though there are multiple reasons for this, the most probable is that your photo is not published as public by Google.

You may use 'This Form’ to report this issue - of course, this may take some time, according to me.

Otherwise, you may have to use a video which is already public.

Note:
This video may be visible to you, but not to the public; to confirm this, kindly view this link in an incognito browser.

Thanks to @PrasadVR for intimating the issue.

Hello Googlers @InaS or @DeniGu ,

Could you please look into my issue, please?

Humbly request you to kindly help me.

Thanks in advance.

Hello dear friend, @ShailendraOjha ,

I too have studied your case:

the possibilities are:

  1. Your review, Photos & videos are NOT ‘Published’ by Google Maps.

  2. Your published ‘Review’ along with photos & videos have been made private by Google Maps for some reason.

Conclusion:
As of now, your video will not be visible to Judges - will not be part of this challenge.

Solution:

Select another video and publish it at your earliest; if you need any assistance, you may contact me & I can surely help you.
