Paydosta ilk uğrayışım, ne zamandır önünden geçip lezzetlerini denemek istediğim müşterisi bol olan ev yemekleri lokantası. İçeriye sıcak ve temiz hava hakim, dükkanın minik ve havadar atmosferi, menü çeşitliliği ve çalışan herkesin güler yüzü olması beni gerçekten evimde yemek yermiş gibi rahat hissettirdi. Tavsiye ederim, fakat geçe kalmamanız şiddetle tavsiye olunur yoksa çeşitler az olabiliyor malum sağlıklı,taze ve kaliteli yemeğin sayılı adreslerinden biri olduğu için. My first time in Paydost — a homestyle restaurant I’ve long wanted to try, always bustling with customers. The place has a warm and clean atmosphere; its small and airy interior, the variety on the menu, and the friendly demeanor of all the staff truly made me feel as comfortable as if I was eating at my home. I highly recommend it, but strongly advise against going too late, as the variety can be limited — understandably so, since it’s one of the few places offering healthy and high-quality fresh food.

It’s so obvious that all the food is healthy and felt like home made. The prices are extra, but the ambiance of the restaurant deserved. Once a week can be affordable.
