  • Both Mellow

    You'd agree on the spice level. Clean, comforting plates for both of you.

  • One Bold, one Mellow

    One of you orders it mild, one extra hot. Get the chili oil on the side.

Palytt pal vs match score

Your Palytt pal summarizes your quiz answers about food habits, flavor and a night out, just for fun. Personal dish matches in the app use your taste profile and dish history when there is enough evidence.

A personal match score (0–100) describes how the available dish information fits your taste. Crowd picks are labeled separately. See how taste matching works.
