The text is a transcript of a video where the speaker visits three different restaurants in Istanbul that serve home-cooked meals at different price ranges. He compares the quality, quantity, and taste of the food, as well as the service and atmosphere of the places. He starts with the cheapest one, where he pays 29 liras for a menu that includes soup, meatballs, pasta, pear bread, and water. He praises the value and flavor of the food, and the speed and efficiency of the service. He then goes to a mid-priced one, where he pays 200 liras for a menu that includes lentil soup, lamb neck, rice pilaf, salad, pita bread, buttermilk, and kazandibi (a type of dessert). He likes the portions and the variety of the food, but he finds it too heavy and oily for his taste. He also mentions that he prefers the open ayran (a yogurt drink) from another place. He ends with the most expensive one, where he pays 900 liras for a menu that includes soup, olive oil dishes, rice pilaf, salad, saray meatballs (a special type of meatballs), hasebi hünkar (a dish with lamb and eggplant), and şekerpare (another type of dessert). He enjoys the food and says it is worth it for a special occasion, but he also says he can get around with 400 liras normally. He says his favorite is the cheapest one because it offers a great price-performance ratio. He asks for comments from his viewers and says goodbye.
