PAPRIKA has reopened with a NEW Menu, New Staff and New Decor and still under the same ownership. The New Menu is different and features some Uzbek Russian Style Foods. I prefer the new decor it's much more roomy with only 6 tables and the counter is gone.
We tried the fresh baked to order Lepeshka Bread. A short time after ordering the bread a Hot piping fresh bread comes out to us.
We shared a beef Calzone/Samsa. It was baked dough stuffed with tasty marinated beef and onions. They served it with a slightly spicy tomato sauce. This was very good.
I had the Chicken Kebob Plate. The Chicken was outstanding. Plump Juicy Flavorful Chicken with seasonings and tasty fresh dill and onions. A variety of salads were on my plate and an enormous pile of very fluffy rice and maybe the best pita bread you can get anywhere.
My husband tried the Chicken Shawarma. The plate was set up the same way. I do have to be honest and tell you the Chicken Shawarma didn't seem like the chicken shawarma I had before here. It was very tasty but was on the dry side and wasn't nearly as good as the Chicken Kebob to me.
My old favorites from Paprika are gone but I think I can get them most of them next door at Mozart.
Now I get to try new things I never had before. After watching other people I noticed many people ordering the soups and adding a condiment to it. I will try that next time.
Something new and different.
Portions were very large and I took most of the bread and half the food home.
Service was very good.
