WOW WOW WOW is all I can say. Food was amazingly fresh and flavorful,..better than anything ever experienced from Boston's highest rated Mediterranean restaurants that we frequent often. It's obvious they love what they do and execute it exceptionally well. They have it all, absolutely delicious. Just go there. A real find, no doubt the best in Salem or anywhere for that matter. The hospitality is second to none. This will be #1 on my list and will be back often. Let me not forget to mention that the prices are incredibly reasonable and the attitude from everybody is exceptional! I highly recommend the Paprika grill. read more

Absolutely delicious. Easily rivals what we had in Europe. you can easily share as the portions are huge.

Some of the best hummus and falafel I've had in a long time. The white bean salad and the chicken doner plate are amazing. I live a block away. The baklava is to die for very friendly staff. You will not be disappointed. Also, the steak tip plate is phenomenal. read more

They are nice and food is so good! Prices are great for the amount you get .. the hummus is amazing and so is tzatziki sauce.. falafel's are cooked just right..they don't mind adding more sauce , hummus whatever you'd like if you ask on side as my friends/ bf don't like it as much as I do .. don't know why as theirs is amazing! I usually go for doner plates or bowls and it's packed! I can't even finish it .. beware you can't eat inside but there is a nice sitting place outside to enjoy your food. read more

Real hole-in-the-wall place in a pseudo-ally off of the main drag in Salem. They are pretty quick and priced really well. Both meat-eaters and vegetarians I've taken here have been happy with their meals. Originally I was all about their pita wraps. Very filling, easy to eat on the go, lovely fillings. However if you are very hungry go with a bowl. Same great insides but you can pick the flavors you want in every mouthful. I like the hummus and tahini on the side so it can travel a little longer when getting takeout. My husband swears by getting fries inside every order. Whatever you do, I think you'll be happy! read more

We spent a weekend in Salem and got lunch here both days. The donner chicken is SO good and the bean salad was also unique and delicious. The only thing we tried that wasn't my fav was the falafel. Service was great, you can tell they really care about what they do. Note - this is a takeout only spot with. Walk up window. read more

The food and service were amazing. My daughter says we should dive them 100 million stars.

the wraps were amazing along with the falafel! All the food was delicious, generous portions, and flavorful! read more

We love Paprika! 1st- great people, great customer service. 2nd- the food is always incredible. Chicken Kabab wrap; get it w/everything. Chicken was cooked perfectly. So juicy and great combo of flavors. Spicy chicken Adana was also amazing. Get the sampler app and the baklava. Ask if there's any off-menu special items. read more

5/5 Great Paprika Grill serves excellent Turkish cuisine. Great flavors, good portion sizes, great pricing, and fast service makes Paprika Grill a great hole in the wall (almost quite literally). As a result of COVID, the Paprika Grill takes orders online then you pick up by the window, but there is an outdoor seating section which is extremely convenient. The menu has a wide array of options and also accommodates those with dietary restrictions. While I can only attest to their bowls, they are a strong indication to the care Paprika puts into all of their food. The Lamb Adana bowl (everything style) has great, tender lamb that is seasoned and cooked incredibly-- juicy and flavorful. Paired with fresh vegetables that add vibrancy to the meal, rice that adds substance, and their tzatziki sauce, hummus, and hot sauce which rounds up the meal beautifully. For a little more, you can also add grape leaves, fries, or other sides, which is great value and delicious. This is all priced fairly for a wonderful inexpensive, delicious, and convenient restaurant. read more

Great fast casual Mediterranean spot. Not to skip ahead, but the baklava here is not to be missed; its super moist and flavorful. The chicken shawarma was heavily seasoned (in a good way) and quite tender. Their baba ganoush is all-time; there is so much smoky flavor in there. I was a tiny bit disappointed by the lamb adana, as I didn't find it spicy, and I thought it was a bit gamey, but it doesn't even matter given how good everything else was. read more

After a couple of trips, it's time for a review! Okay so what I've tried so far has been interesting, and I would like to try more items. With this recent trip, I only ordered the chicken adana wrap. The veggies were crisp and fresh, and the chicken had a very nice flavor to it. The overall flavor was mellow but not bland. It's listed at being spicey, I presume because of the red pepper but I am inclined to disagree. I am excited to see a place in the north shore area offering things like fresh baba ganoush, hummus, and stuffed grape leaves. Looking forward to trying these out in the future. The restaurant is this little hole in the wall on Liberty street. It is nice because it is in a quiet area, but I fear people are missing out because they do not know it is here since it is not visible from the foot traffic on Derby street. The staff are warm and welcoming, and the service is fairly quick. The space is utilized appropriately with the seating provided. read more

Great little spot in downtown Salem with small indoor seating or take out food they will even deliver! We started with Baba Ganoush and Warm Pita, totally delicious. Followed by Doner and Chicken Shish Kebab dinners. Nice tender texture on meats, balanced with rice and toppings. Meals served in round tins so if there are leftovers just pop a top on it for tomorrow! Got the rice pudding to go. Very simple ingredients with everything and so good!! Had authentic Turkish coffee and homemade baklava on menu but so full we skipped till next time. We will be back! read more

Super delicious food and genuine hospitality by the entire staff! The food was perfectly cooked and fresh.

Wow! A gem in the heart of downtown Salem. The food is tasty, fresh, and well seasoned. Service was quick and staff was very friendly. Seating is a bit limited inside, but there are a few tables outside that are nice. I'm not sure what it would be like during the winter, but the outdoor seating was awesome during the summer. The prices were also very low for this type of authentic and delicious Turkish food. Overall, a stellar experience and I would happily return! Definitely check them out if you're in Salem! read more

Came here looking for something keto inspired and I was not disappointed! Tucked away right next to the Salem cemetery you'll find this cute eatery. They freshly grill up your meat of choice and serve it with lettuce, pickled cabbage, carrots, hummus, and rice as a bowl, wrap, or pita. Next time I come I think I'll try out there slow roasted chicken over a salad with baba ganoush :) read more

Paprika Grill - Mediterranean Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

A friend who lives in town suggested this place so we (a different friend and I) decided to try it for a late lunch. We didn't realize it was more of a takeout location with only about a dozen seats: two regular height tables and about four high tops and worse of all ... NO bathroom. We decided to stay to give it a try. The menu is posted above the counter where you order, paper menus are also available ... which is what I needed since the fine print under the menu items was a challenge for me to read. My friend decided on the Chicken Adana bowl, me the kofta over Mediterranean salad and both of us a small soup of the day which was described as lemon chicken. We ordered at the counter, paid and were told the food would be brought to our table. We took a seat at a high top located 3/4 into the restaurant. As we waited (for what felt like at least 10-15 minutes), we thought our soups would be served first. When the soups did arrive, the lunch entrees arrived minutes later. It would have been nice to be able to enjoy the soup first. When the soup was described as lemon chicken, I envisioned the the Greek lemon chicken soup (Avegolemono). Much to our disappointment it was far from that. It was a light broth with lightly cooked chopped carrots and celery that floated toward the top and diced chicken at the bottom. The soup base was very peppery to me. Very hot but just not what I thought it would be. Same for my friend. My friend's chicken was "meh" and she expected the rice at the bottom of her bowl to be hot but it was room temp. My kofta was ok, not the best I've ever had. Salad greens were fresh and crunchy. The two people working there, a man and women, were both polite but said very little. About $28 total for both of our lunches. We didn't leave hungry but didn't leave content. Not sure what the hype about this place is as we later saw it was listed as one of the top 37 restaurants according to the Boston Globe Magazine. The restaurant was freezing, we kept our down coats on the whole time we were there. Don't think we'll be back. read more

This place has been taken over by new ownership and they have hiked the price so much. A $19 chicken rice plate has no salad. The prices are expensive than a fine dine Mediterranean restaurant. Not coming back again. Sorry!! read more

I got the kofte wrap. It was great! My dad ate too slow, so we had to wait until he finished. And THEN my mom got a phone call so we hat to wait for HER cmon mom you can walk and talk at the same time! But food was excellent. read more

Our first time in Salem. The food is delicious and the staff is kind. Seating is an outdoor patio.

I stopped in for lunch before heading back out of the city and got the dõner kebab bowl with everything. It was delicious. The flavors were amazing, it was fresh, light and the meat was so tender while being super filling. My food came out timely and the service was nothing to complain about. I would love to go back. read more

This is a great fast casual place with very reasonably priced, delicious foods. If you're in Salem and want something that won't cost too much and also be fast, then come here. read more

A little tricky as there was only outdoor seating. I believe there were renovations going on. The food was very good but no bathrooms were available and no garbage can even. Hummus was delicious but it's a large container with only 1 pita...order extra pita or maybe crudite. Definitely would visit again to carry out or try when indoor seating is available. read more

Our food was sooooooo good My bf got the spicy chicken and lamb Adana plate with extra rice and fries. The chicken was incredible. I got the lamb Adana plate with homemade hummus and tomato and cucumber salad. Literally so good and the guy at the register was sweet and let us sit inside since it was snowing out. While it seems pricey you could have two meals from one order. read more

Great middle eastern food in the heart of Salem! Paprika Grill seems to focus mostly on take out orders since they do not have much seeing inside. That being said, the food is delicious and definitely gives you a bang for your buck. When you go be sure to try the Mixed Grill Rice Bowl. While slightly more expensive, it lets you choose three of their delicious proteins. Be sure to try the falafel and grape leaves!! read more

Absolutely delicious food. Quick and friendly service. Love getting their chicken plate with rice

The definition of hole in the wall! I came for the witches and instead I ended up with chicken kabob! If you're coming to Salem to visit the witches be sure to check out this authentic style Turkish restaurant. I had ordered the chicken kebab wrap which was incredibly delicious including all the toppings. I also ordered the french fries which were fresh and crispy, because if you know me you know, "I got to have my fries!" The grave site is across the restaurant so you know the neighbors will be quiet, lol bad joke, but def a sight to see. Seating was outdoor, drinks were cold and the view was to die for! read more

Loved stopping at this restaurant as my first dining experience in Salem. I ordered a chicken kebab rice bowl which turned out amazing. All the ingredients are fresh and delicious. I also had the baba ghanoush appetizer which I was surprised by the size of the eggplant dish I received (much larger than I expected from any restaurant) but i loved it and that's why I highly recommend grabbing a bite to eat here. This is a good place to get great quality takeout or a quick stop for some delicious food (seating area might be limited). The lady working was incredibly nice and made our meals perfect. Would 100% come back here for a good meal. read more

One of the best Greek places I've been to!! I ordered the lamb Adana bowl and had the rice substituted for extra veggies. I think I was up charged $1 for doing so, but whatever. The lamb was super flavorful and really tender!! The veggies were pretty standard, but not bad at all. I'd definitely come here again. read more

I do not want to recommend this place because I want to eat all the food there myself! Had some of the mixed grill plates and they were divine. This place is amazing, and will be going back often. read more

This place is a bit easy to miss since they currently just have online ordering with window pick up right now but it's one of the BEST food places in Salem and the surrounding area. I've never truly had a falafel until I had it from here. Pick up is quick and easy and the food is always warm and delectable. I can't have store bought hummus again after eating here. read more

Great food. Happy with everything. Thank you for being in business. I will recommend this beautiful establishment every time.

This is a must go stop if you are in the Salem area! We went twice during our stay because it was such a great place to get a bite to eat. A small cafe in the alley by the Pirates Museum. Turkish food is delicious and healthy. We ordered the pitas the first night and they were made quickly and were LOADED with goodness...steak shish kebab, carrots, hummus, pickled onions, cukes. The chicken doner(the meat cluster that is on the rotisserie) is so tender and delicious...the chicken adana(an enlongated meatball with lots of garlic) is just fantastic. You can also get bowls, wraps, and salads with the above mentioned meats. There are vegetarian options like falafels(reeaally good!) and wrapped grape leaves. Everything was so fresh and tasty. The owner is very nice and provides super fast service. Try this place, you may find yourself addicted to Turkish food! read more

Came here based on Yelp reviews and it is definitely all TRUE! We got there during what seemed like their rush of the day, the order took a little longer but nothing that would get rid of us. It smelled amazing! We didint know what to order and ended up ordering the one with all the meats in one. Gosh it was so worth it! You must visit... i don't want to ruin the experience for you but please please visit! Do your stomach justice and please visit!!!!!! read more

Food was enjoyable but we ordered through yelp and food sat on our porch for 30 minutes before we knew. I get this may not be the restaurants fault but it impacted our enjoyment of the food. I could tell the ingredients were high quality though and would try again. read more

This is located literally right behind the Peabody Essex Museum (3 minutes walk) and right next to a church. Don't trust your apple maps, it will spaz out. Food is very affordable and the quality is great! I recommend the kofte ($7.50 w/o tax) and the lamb burger ($9 w/o tax). The lamb burger patty is appropriately gamey, but not smelly. Everything is cooked fresh. Seating is limited, but you can comfortably sit in groups of 3-4. read more
