The food is delicious! It's more of a fast food type place than sit down..... they do have a counter with bar stools if you wanted to eat there. I'm from out of town but if I lived here this would be a staple... again, food was delicious. read more

Paprika Grill - this is how delicious the food was.... gone! - Mediterranean Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

Everything you hear about this place is true! The food is made to order and the portions are just right. The staff are super friendly and accommodating. I got the beef kebab bowl and was a little skeptical about the yogurt topping but I wasn't disappointed. It was creamy and garlicky without being overpowering. If I had anything negative to say it would be that I wish they had a real restaurant to sit in because I bet they'd do a bang up job! read more

Popped in here today just to check it out, hands down the best falafel I've ever had. It's so good I had to leave this review. read more

Wonderful authentic Turkish dishes served by the cordial owners/cooks. A bit dumpy but we like it that way!!

Delicious falafel, pita, grape leaves, and hummus! Thanks for making my Mother's Day!

Gloucester is blessed to have this newest addition to the dining scene! Emrah the owner and Chef is from Turkey. He has cooked in his home country and elsewhere abroad also in NYC, Boston and now he's here in Gloucester!! Over the course of the month he's been open I have had almost everything on the menu. Everything is more than reasonably priced and the portion size is perfect. His red lentil soup is delish and if he has the yogurt soup on special get it!! I love it! His spice blends in his chicken & lamb Adana are spot on and the meat is moist and very tasty as with the kofte. Without a doubt his baba ganoush is the best I've ever had and I love the eggplant with sauce. He makes his mothers' lebni which is similar to a Greek tzatziki but doesn't have cukes in it which I'm grateful for. He also makes rice pudding and baklava a nice treat after a healthy meal. Almost forgot the gyro, made fresh daily and oh so good! Everything here is fresh, healthy and delicious. I think it's wonderful to have this young man come to Gloucester and want to open up his shop here. Welcome Emrah :) read more

Mediocre. Again I'm coming from Michigan where Dearborn is the largest population of middle eastern folk outside of the Middle East so I may be biased. But if you're surrounded by lobster rolls then I guess this is a decent alternative. However a plus is the food is well priced. read more

I love the food here, authentic flavors, fresh and large portions. I get a great meal for under $10. Chicken Donner Kabab bowl is remarkable. Many ingredients, don't miss this if you like casual Mediterranean classics. So great! read more

Kind of the best value in Salem.Ma. Falafel bowl with vegetables and rice for ten bucks and everything is fresh everFalafel Bowl day. Closed Monday . Open every other day read more

Paprika Grill - Falafel Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

This place is wonderful! The workers are so nice, we were late to pick up our food and they remade it for us at no cost without us even asking. I was blown away by their kindness and the food is delicious. If you come to Salem you have to stop here! read more

Fresh, fast, delicious and made to order! A coworker shared a falafel with me last week from the newly opened Paprika Grill. It was yummy and prompted me to make a mental note to stop by and give it a try. Fast forward to today, I stopped by after work. The menu offers a number of tasty options such as rice bowl, wrap, or pita. Along with soups, salads, apps, sides, desserts, and a kid's menu. Beverages include Turkish tea and coffee as well as Ayran. I have to admit it was a challenge to make a choice as everything on the menu is appealing. I ended up getting the Doner Kebab rice bowl. You can choose up to 8 different topping for rice bowls, pitas, or wraps. The Tzatziki was the best I have had in a long time. I would classify it as a take out restaurant although there is bar style seating. The prices are very reasonable. I look forward to my next visit and trying the homemade baklava. read more

Tiny place with simple Turkish fare. There are a few tables and take out service. The staff are diligent and polite. They are located at the end of Liberty street, by the old burying grounds, amid the various hysteri museums. read more

Best Mediterranean food in Boston! My wife and I traveled all around for our anniversary this was the best halal restaurant we tried including all neighboring areas! read more

Ive been craving for something different. I spotted this place and thought id check it out. I came back a few days later and was so glad I did. The man behind the counter is so happy to help and the food is perfect when jyou need something off the beaten path. My only issue is the seating needs work, but it is a small place read more

Paprika is incredible, and would 100% recommend to anyone in the area. Delivery was prompt, service was friendly, food was flat out fantastic. Their Falafel and Hummus alone would make it worth going back for, but their entrees are amazing as well! read more

Food is amazing! I've ordered many times and every time I am impressed with freshness and delishesness of the food :) I can't get enough of it, and my son 10 year old picky eater loves their falafel and pita bread, I can't get him to eat falafel from any other places. Their chicken so tender and marinated so well, and portions are very generous. Highly recommend to anyone who loves high quality fresh healthly meals. read more

Love this place! Authentic and delicious. Highly recommend the baba ganoush....good salads as well, which is a rarity

Sooooo glad we found this gem! Such delicious food! We ordered a few different plates with chicken shawarma, steak tips, and falafel and it was all sooo flavorful and delicious and everyone loved it. Highly recommend read more

ordered a donor kebab pita and an order of falafel. It was absolutely delicious. Fresh clean eating. So good!!!!!

Favorite spot in Gloucester. Nice young owners that take great pride in their food. Clean little cafe with bowls, salads and wraps with your choice of falafel, chicken, beef kabob, lamb and garlic shrimp. I got the beef kabob wrap and it was excellent. Go there and support a new local business! Delicious food and exceptional service. read more

What a hidden gem! Always piping hot and delicious! My husband LIVES for their lamb burger, and I love their salads! They have a great veg/vegan selection, that could please the pickiest meat eaters too! And the BEST, -and I mean the best, falafel I've ever had! 10/10 read more

I had the falafel and grape leaves. Good prices, good food. I might order more than one sandwich if you're very hungry.

I have had many gyros in my day and surprisingly this one was no that good. There was also no AC in the place so it was awful to eat there.

My review is all about felafel, because that's all I had and felafel is really important to me. Ordered a falafel wrap with all the fixings and a side of fries. Not good. The felafel seemed undercooked and the fixings were dominated by the flavor of raw onion. Didn't finish it, or the fries, which dripped with grease. For felafel, Adea's Mediterranean (just a couple blocks away on Lafayette St) is by far the best on the North Shore. Lunch only, though. read more

When you left Gloucester I was upset but to have your place closer to where I live now in Salem it's even better. See you soon. Your food is amazing read more

Great Turkish food. Lovely owners that have attention to detail. Had a chicken doner kebab bowl and a drink, very filling and delicious. The bowl consisted of rice, salad, tzatziki, hummus, cucumber/tomato and plenty of flavorful chicken. Would definitively come again!!! read more

This little hole in the wall is worth a trip to Salem. The food is just plain excellent. The meats are tasty, the veggies are crisp and fresh and the soups are a joy to eat. The only problem is there is very limited seating (it is mostly take out) and there is no bathroom. read more

Sooo good. Everything is so fresh, particularly the falafel that is made fresh the second you order it. Great little place. Good options for the kids. Lots of flavor. Friendly staff. Will definitely be back. read more

Best Turkish food outside of Turkey! At least in Salem anyways... Fresh ingredients, excellent spices, really nice staff, tried dining at the restaurant and ordered takeout, both were exquisite! read more

Love this place and the people who work there! Been to Paprika roughly 25 times since they opened and have NEVER had a bad meal. The menu is not super extensive but what they do have is fantastic. We go out a lot in Salem, Marblehead, and Beverly, and Paprika is the only place my wife and I always agree on. PROS: Very fresh, handmade, not over or under seasoned, fast turnaround, friendly people who run the place. CONS: The space is just too small. Don't expect to eat there, just plan on takeout. Maybe they can expand into the empty storefront beside them? Also, no public bathrooms or AC. Limited drinks and desserts to choose from. read more

Mmmmm, this place was delicious! Before going on a tour around Salem, we decided to opt for something quick. I got the chicken bowl with tzatziki sauce and hummus and it was very tasty. The restaurant was small on the inside, but they have tables located outside towards the back of the restaurant. Since it was so incredibly hot in the restaurant (probably over 100 degrees), we sat outside. The only problem I had was that there was no bathroom in the restaurant unfortunately. I'm pregnant, and well let's just be honest here, I have to pee every ten minutes! But it's okay, because the mall isn't too far away and you could just use their bathrooms there so crisis averted! Overall though, staff were friendly and you can tell it was real authentic Turkish food. They seemed very serious about their foods, and wanted everyone to really enjoy their meals. What I wouldn't give for another one of their delicious chicken bowls! read more

Highly recommended!! I had the lamb adana in a pita and it was nicely seasoned and absolutely delicious. It's a bargain given how great the food is.. enjoy! read more

This was a great place. I've now had the kofta and falafel wraps, both first rate. The place is a little hidden, but I really hope they make it. I'm definitely making this a go to place for falafel now. read more

Really delicious meals! Both the lamb burger and falafel & grape leaves entree were amazing. The baklava was perfect as well. To go service was fast & the pick up window was a great option for COVID. Will be back! read more

We thought the grill was closed but took the time to read the signs-currently set up to order on line then you pick up your order at the window. There are tables nearby to eat at. Seriously delicious doners. Bummed we couldn't eat inside but super glad we ordered. We were both full from a doner wrap and share side of rice which is impressive because we eat a lot!! read more

After seeing the great reviews my husband and I thought we would try it. We were very disappointed. Not sure if it was an off day, but the chicken bowl and beef kebab bowl did not even come close to one star. The chicken tasted like plastic, the beef not much better. There was maybe a tablespoon of hummus and the rice was not well cooked. We have eaten a lot of Mediterranean food and this was a great letdown. read more

Enjoyed the paprika salad with hummus, cucumber, onion, cabbage, tomato, arugula and lettuce for lunch today. Added lamb for 1.50 which is a steal. The dressing was a yogurt dressing which was delightful. Food came out quickly. I will be back for sure! read more

Paprika Grill - Mediterranean Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

Amazing food, and customer service. The falafels are amazing. The mixed grill is my go to order.

It's a great little place, and I kick myself for not coming here as often as I ought, considering how good they are.

We went to Salem today to walk around and happened upon the Paprika Grill. We ordered the Doner Kebab. It was served on a delicious pita with fresh vegetables and sauces . . . it was sooooo delicious! I want to go back soon! read more
