This was the best restaurant we had diner at during our Budapest stay. Cheap, good and tasty local Hungarian food. Located a but our of the city centre, but taxi's are cheap as well, so head over. Get the Paprika special (for two persons), lots of meat!

Paprika is very popular - you need to book. Hungarians love it, which is testament to the quality of its food. My advice would be to be very hungry if you plan a starter and main, or skip the starter and just have the main, because the portions are very generous.

Book a table, we came on a Monday night first and were told they were full so booked for Tuesday and went off ending up with a poor meal elsewhere. On the Tuesday table ready for us, but clearly full and stayed full with tables turning. Service was excellent in terms of taking initial order and bringing drinks (happy to... More

We had booked ahead via the hotel and had a table waiting, the staff although informal were professional and helpful explaining the various dishes.

Had (compulsory) gulyasleves - goulash soup - and pork with potatoes and vegetables. The bill for soup, two main courses and four beers was 9000HUF. The only trifle was to wait for the bill, we had empty glasses for 15 mins.... More

My second visit to Budapest a friend took us to Paprika. The food is very traditional and lots of locals were there enjoying the oversized portions. The atmosphere feels like an old Hungarian hunting lodge with oversized hewn chairs. It took a while to have our order taken which gave us ample time to observe the large platters of food... More

A Hungarian restaurant worth a visit. It was busy when we arrived as this place is popular,and we waited about 15 minutes before they could seat us. We ordered a variety of dishes,everything tasty and made the wait worth it. An outdoor seating area available but seems to be "reserved" all the time. It's my 3rd visit to this place,and... More

This restaurant offers traditional hungarian food, everything was very delicious, but leg of goose with goose liver was just amazing!!!
