Paprika Cafe Description:
Paprika Café is a feast for the senses, beginning with its vibrant Middle Eastern souk décor. Ochre walls are adorned with Persian carpets, copper plates and framed Mediterranean landscapes. Melodic Arabic music soothes away the tensions of the day. For starters, order the dolmas, vine leaves stuffed with rice, tomato and onion. Sprightly and tender to the bite, they are even better when dipped into owner Chris Hamade's creamy tzatziki. Falafel are tasty, especially when coated with the accompanying tahini. Main course combination plates, perhaps four-hour braised lamb shanks or grilled chicken enrobed in Hamade's legendary garlic sauce, come piled high with sides: golden shards of saffron-tinged basmati rice, hummus, tabbouleh, and a lemony olive oil dressing. If you still have room, linger over potent Turkish coffee and complimentary baklava scented with orange blossom water.
