The dining experience at Paprika Grill was excellent. The atmosphere was comfortable, clean, and tastefully decorated. The staff were polite, friendly, and provided warm service. The food tasted great; the balance of spices and the freshness of the ingredients were particularly impressive. The service was prompt, with the order arriving quickly. The menu offers a wide variety of options, making it easy to find somtheing to one's liking. It is a great place to spend time with friends or family. The quality of the food and service was satisfactory to the price. Overall, it was a positive experience, and I would love to visit again in the future. read more

We ordered the chicken doner plate and falafel plate. Firstly, the serving size was very generous, especially for the chicken. The food however, was lacking flavor in our opinion. The falafel had little spice, the tzatziki had an odd texture and little to no cucumber or garlic/lemon, and the rice pilaf was just plain rice with no seasoning. Overall, each item did not compare at all to other Mediterranean food we've had. The employees were nice and we wanted to like it, but for the price ($50+ for 2 plates), we didn't think this place was worth it. read more

Good Authentic Mediterranean Food! Food was excellent and delicious, service was on point, and location was clean. The restaurant is small but there is some outside sitting. The staff were great, they offered suggestions and gave me a few samples before placing my order. The restaurant owner was very friendly & helpful. A bit on the pricey side but their excellent customer service makes it worth it. read more

Amazing food and great portions! This was a totally authentic restaurant and would recommend to everyone!

Absolutely delicious! The Turkish pita bread was so tasty and the wrap I ordered was packed with veggies and spicy meat. They are so good different from your typical sub place and offer lots of different meats and veggie options. The staff is so kind, inviting and hardworking. I highly recommend that you at last try them just once. I wish I had taken a picture so that I could show and tell, but it will have to be next time I'm there. read more

A lil esspensive but gas af and definitely worth it. Portion sizes are pretty good too. I got the chicken donor bowl.

Five stars for Paprika Grill. The owner is so attentive and friendly, the food is delicious and the outdoor seating area was great.

Great food! I get 2 meals out of their plates. People who work there are always nice!

Love this place, it's consistently great. Food is always fresh and delicious. Love the chicken Adana and spicy vegetable dip.

Falafel Bowl: Excellent falafel with a crunchy exterior and soft interior. I got the bowl with everything, and all of the veggies and hummus that came with it was great. Pita bread was good as well. Chicken Doner Plate: At first, I thought $21 was a steep price to pay for this. After we got it, we realized that this thing is enough for 2 people. They PILE it with meat. The chicken tasted amazing (even better than the falafel). The baba ghanoush was also fantastic. Service was very friendly. We had a group of 6 and there wasn't a lot of seating, but the staff let us pull together a few tables. Would definitely come back! read more

Spoke to the cashier, a shorter guy with a hat. Just asked a few basic not even repetitive questions about the menu and he almost rolled his eyes and seemed annoyed. I'm like OK just had a bad day no problem. When the food came out I just simply asked in a kind way if they have any hot sauce. Instead of just politely saying that they do but it cost, he very visibly annoyed said "it doesn't come with it .. I'll bring it". I was like okeeey what's the matter with this guys and when he does show up with the sauce even more visibly annoyed said it costs but he'll give it to me. But literally in every aspect it was really annoyed said. I refused to take it and paid for it of course. Why couldn't he just like a normal polite person said it's not included and there's a charge? Why make this experience so bad and be so rude and visibly annoyed? I don't need a smile just BASIC courtesy and not making me feel bad for just asking few basic questions for gods sake! I don't need this horrible service for over priced food! read more

Great for Takeout. Friendly staff. Savory and healthy food. Large portions which are reflected by price.

The food is so good. Flavorful and big serving. They are so friendly and nice. Highly recommend.

Staff was very friendly and helpful when ordering. Food was delicious and very fresh. Falafel was so crisp but soft and delicious on the inside. Cucumber tomato salad was light and fresh. Fries were crispy. Chicken shawarma was excellent and flavors were awesome. Pita tasted fresh. The garden salad had a nice Light dressing like a vinaigrette and had delicious purple cabbage that tasted like it was pickled. We had a nice light lunch and split everything between four people on a hot day. Fantastic! read more

I was looking around the cemetery in Salem and saw this place. I've never had Turkish food before so thought I would give it a shot. They have some inside seating and some outside seating. I ordered the two meat plate to try two meats. Lamb and spicy chicken. It came with a pita and two sides-I got hummus and the white bean salad. There was a woman taking orders and a man cooking. When the woman was taking phone orders, the man answered questions and even came outside when he saw a couple looking to throw away their trash after eating. I waited at an outside table for my order, it took about 15 minutes. It was a warm day, but there was a nice breeze. The nice woman brought me my food, and I was in my way back to my hotel to enjoy lunch. The food was amazing! The meat was so good, the rice was delicious (and I'm not a rice person yet I gobbled it down), the hummus and white bean salad were also really good. Paprika grill did not disappoint, and if I'm back in the area, it will be on my list to order from again. read more

My son and I stopped in here on a whim. We were immediately welcomed in by the family who run this restaurant. They prepared delicious and healthy food in a welcoming environment. It was my son's first experience with Turkish food, and he said later "dad, I can't stop eating it" Definitely try this gem of a restaurant. read more

Paprika Grill - a sign on the side of the road - Mediterranean Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

Came here after a long day in Salem. Wasn't sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. Keep in mind, dine in section was closed but there's a couple outdoor tables to the left to eat at. I got the Spicy chicken wrap, think a spicy chicken burrito. The chicken was well seasoned and very flavorful. I tried the lentil soup, not my cup of soup but my friend said it was good so that is probably a better judge of the soup. There's no trashcan around but bring it back to the window and they're more than happy to take back the trash! read more

Paprika Grill - Lentil Soup Spicy Chicken Adana Wrap - Mediterranean Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

Food: Tastes absolutely amazing! I ordered Mixed Grill Platter with a choice of 2 proteins (Steak tips & Beef Kebab). Meat tastes incredible. Juicy and brought tears to my eyes (with joy of course!) Dining: No Dine-in when temporarily. Only pick up (We ate in the car). There were some chairs outside, not sure if we could eat there. So if you're planning on coming, plan for takeout. Wait time: Took 15 minutes but I rather eat my food hot than cold. While you wait for the food check out the cemetery. Parking: Be mindful of the parking. Do not turn in the street. There is parking lot on the main road (less than a min walk). There's coin meters in the parking lot (convenient). There's parking on the street as well. Fun Fact: It is right next to the very first cemetery in Salem (The Burying Point) Overall highly recommended if you're looking for Mediterranean Food (Turkish food to be exact). Amazing flavors, great street vibe. read more

Stopped in for dinner. Service was fast and friendly. I ordered the chicken bowl with all the toppings. As a Middle Eastern myself, I know when hummus and sauces are made fresh, including the seasoning of their chicken. This restaurant definitely serves quality and fresh servings of food. My friends and I were impressed. We also ate on their patio, that had a nice view by the Witch Trial Memorial. A must try if you're visiting Salem. read more

Went to Salem today and needed some eats before our walking tour. We got the lamb plate and the chicken plate. Both were awesome. Four of us shared the two plates and it was plenty of food. A little pricey though. Two plates cost me 50 bucks. I didn't mind though because we were in a hurry and their service was fast. I recommend this place if you like rice and meat. Oh yeah, the pita bread was amazing. I wish I would've ordered another serving of just the pita bread. read more

I wish I lived in Salem just to eat here again! The chicken doner bowl is absolutely amazing! Kind and friendly workers! Such a chill place to have lunch with friends! I can't wait to go back to Salem just to eat here again! read more

For a premium price it certainly is worth it. The portions are huge and there's always enough for later! I get the steak & chicken mixed plate with the fries & tomato/cucumber salad always fantastic. Go check them out! read more

We have ordered Paprika takeout a few times recently through Uber Eats and are such huge fans! They have amazing food, great quality ingredients, and a really unique (and affordable!) menu. My boyfriend and I love the fact that we can order a ton of dishes to share without breaking the bank. Their falafel is my favorite in the area by far. SO GOOD! Make sure you get some, even as a side. We also love the lentil soup, the gyros, and the grape leaves. You really can't go wrong at Paprika. We can't wait to order again! read more

We tried to visit because of the high Yelp ratings...but there's no inside dining room and the weather didn't support sitting outside at picnic tables...so we skipped it and walked over to Bambolina! read more

Great Donner (wrap) and lamb salad. They were very accommodating for my wife's diet. They knew the ingredients in their foods. Also has a shady and quiet patio where they bring your order to.

Very kind gentlemen who I believe runs the place. Always nice conversation, down to earth and great tasting food on the menu ! Highly recommend read more

I hated all of the food here. All of it. Bland and tasteless and it tasted like premade. A while ago. How can you mess up Middle eastern food SO much? read more

Food was good but waaay too expensive and either hot seats inside or hot seats outside. If you walk down towards Lulus you can get the same salad for $6 less read more

I was really excited to try this place, well that excitement did not last long :/ The food was a little less than ok. I got a falafel wrap, with onions and hummus. The falafel was burnt on the outside and had a saggy texture in the inside, the onions were not cut in bite size pieces, it was hard to eat them, almost choking with them, I had to use my hands to break them in small pieces. I was surprised at the fact that I couldn't add lamb to my falafel wrap and I would have had to order a side of lamb in order to do that ‍ Definitely not worth the price, we pay $34 for 2 wraps, no extras, no drinks. A little pricey considering the quality of the food. The restaurant was also closed, only outdoor seating. read more

TLDR: delicious hole in the wall take out spot. This place is the bomb. Very reasonable prices and incredibly delicious. They have a little patio spot outside in case you're eating close by but otherwise no seating. Every meat is excellent from the beef to the lamb to the chicken. If I was local this would be a favorite local spot! read more

OK this place is delicious and has absolutely fantastic service. I wish we could've tried more food, but there was only so much time and room in my stomach everything with super high-quality ingredients, super flavorful, fresh and authentic Turkish flavors. I have a little outdoor patio nothing much, but the owner will bring food to you and come pick up your waste. Highly recommended!! read more

The best, most flavorful food and the absolute nicest people! Get takeout and sit in Salem Common for a lovely meal!

It didn't gave us the wow factor and it wasn't as delicious based on the price. We got lamb Adana wrap, falafel wrap and baklava. read more
