Latest Recommendation:Paprika, Kingswood
More information on Paprika"been to paprika this weekend. after trying blue ginger last weekend. well what a big difference in price ! blue ginger is alot cheaper. i cant understand how the person on one of paprikas reviews said paprika is cheaper. for a start you can't compare tesco booze price with licensed restaurant prices. . no matter what anybody says if you take your own drinks to a bring your own drinks restaurant , its simple maths its gonna be cheaper ! i found the food in paprika is has good has blue ginger. but i don't know if we have forgot there's still a recession on. and i love my Indian food. if i still want to eat every week i will have to take my own drinks in , plus you get a better choice !
