      }
    ]
  }
}

Reviews are limited to the 5 latest.

$reqUri = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?key='.YOURSERVERKEY;
$reqUri .= '&sensor=false&radius=500';
$reqUri .= '&location=38.908310,-104.784035&name='.urlencode(LOCATION NAME);
$reqUri .= '&keyword='.urlencode(WEBSITE PHONE);

I made it through PHP, Now call like this URL and you get original result with reference key.

Then parse it like:

$data = cURL($reqUri);
$data = json_decode($data);
echo $data ->results[0]->reference;

Hope it will help you

***Note: location=38.908310,-104.784035 this var is not auto you must have it.

For fetching a google review you need reference id for the place.In order to get this reference key you can use google places search api request.

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/xml?query=restaurants+in+bangalore&sensor=true&key=AddYourOwnKeyHere

Its response will have reference id which you can use in your request.
