Paprika

My visits: visited dozens of times 2011 – 2013
Summary: Café serving a wide range of great food (incl. Indian food)
Food: wide range to eat-​in or take-​out: sandwiches, baked potatoes, salads but the Indian style food is also fantastic (e.g. Indian style spicy lamb burger).
Staff: very pleasant (humans not robots)
Location: couple of minutes walk from Cheadle Hulme railway station.
Tips: listen to what the regulars order, e.g. the Chicken Heaven (marinated chicken) which is definitely recommended. Cakes great as well. Can get busy around 1pm (but very variable), quiet other times.
Other notes: function room available, other events such as Indian cooking courses.

This place looks quite dressed up for a coffee shop, and why not! The chic and contemporary décor includes a cream, red and black colour scheme with comfy suede sofas, there is plenty of seating in here and the lighting is soft and relaxing… just what you need when stopping for a liquid pick-​me-​up like the many choices of tea of coffee, for food they serve home made bread and cakes, breakfasts, suitable for both meat lovers & veggies! The lunch menu is what sets this café apart from others though… you will be tempted by soups, sandwiches, salads, beef and lamb burgers and their signature Chicken Heaven, oven-​roasted marinated Indian chicken served with tomatoes, a yoghurt mint sauce and mayonnaise. Knowing it is hard to get children to eat (as I do) they have also come up with the fantastic idea of letting little ones help make their own pizza! even better still, they have a licence, so you can (if you want) have a nice glass of wine with your sandwich! This has to be my favorite café in Cheadle by far!
