Forkstrike, a restaurant discovery website founded in September 2026 in Dearborn by Oliver Nasralah, is designed to help restaurants market their businesses and assist diners in finding new places to eat.

The site gives every restaurant a 0 to 100 Strike Score built from the last 180 days of reviews and weighted for recency, plus members’ own first-hand ratings.

“A Google rating is a lifetime average, so a place that was great in 2019 and slipped in 2025 still shows 4.6 stars,” says Nasralah. “Ours moves when the kitchen does. Nothing a restaurant does on the platform can change its own number.

So far, 123,000 restaurants have been scored across 12 metros, including Detroit, Ann Arbor, Windsor, Traverse City, Chicago, Orlando, Las Vegas, Nashville, Los Angeles, Miami, North Jersey, and New York City based on 13.4 million reviews. It’s refreshed daily.

Consumers use the site for free, while restaurant owners can create their listing for free and choose to pay for the competitive layer: how they compare with the places around them, alerts when their score moves, and reports.

Forkstrike was built by Nasralah with no employees and no outside capital. The data pipeline, scoring engine, billing, and owner console were built and are operated under the founder’s direction.

Nasralah runs two Dearborn firms: Ornamics, an interior design, architecture, and construction company; and the Hallarsan Group, a branding and marketing enterprise.

“Forkstrike came out of watching restaurants I designed get judged by reviews from before the renovation,” Nasralah says explaining the company’s origin.
