“ Was. A bit sceptical after reading some of the reviews but booked and went last minute for a table for 9 , food was lovely service was great and had a lovely family evening. Best food we have had from an Indian for quite some time . Update ... Ordered a takeaway because of our visit , Chicken curry was creamy yellow looked like a korma , chicken tikka masala was dry red chicken , all awful not sure what happened but nothing like we had when we ate in . So dropped 2 stars on the food . ”
“ Always so welcoming, food lovely and delivery quick. Been using this curry house for years and years and so do all of my local family. ”
“ Paprika is the best Indian restaurant I've ever eaten at! The food here is absolutely amazing. I ordered the lamb shank and it melted in my mouth, it was mouth watering. It had such an amazing texture, beautifully seasoned and cooked to perfection. I had a prawn and mushroom dish starter which was the best starter I've ever had. Everything was cooked well and the presentation of both dishes as you can see is beautiful. The staff are very helpful and made me feel most welcome and well looked after. They have a wide selection of food choices as well as vegetarian options. They also have some alcoholic beverages if you would like that with your food. The food is also halal which is always a bonus. I highly recommend everyone try this restaurant. I will definitely be coming back. 10/10. Exquisite! ”
“ This place was recommended to me so I gave it a go. Very pleasant staff took my order and whilst it took about 45 minutes to prepare it was clear the time was taken cooking fresh food. The taste of every bite was incredible. So many great tasty flavours and the aroma was simply consuming. Everyone in my family commented of the extraordinary tastes of every dish. Quite simply the best Indian food I have ever had. Highly recommended. ”
