Papi Cuisine

A Mixed Experience at Papi’s New Location As a long-time supporter of Papi, I was excited to visit their new location at Proper Cuisine’s sister property. While the atmosphere and service were absolutely top-notch (10/10 for both!), the food didn’t quite meet the high expectations I’ve had over the years. The Highlights: Atmosphere & Service: Both were fantastic. The space is vibrant and inviting, and the service was friendly and attentive, making for a pleasant dining experience overall. The Disappointments: Jerk Lamb Chops: Unfortunately, the lamb chops were a letdown. The portion size was much smaller than I remember, and the flavor just didn’t hit the mark like it used to. Kale: The kale was overly salty, which overshadowed its potential to be a flavorful side dish Crab Fries: My husband’s crab fries were missing the “fixings” that were promised on the menu, which was a bit disappointing. While they were still edible, they didn’t have the full flavor profile I was expecting. The Wins: Honey Brussels Sprouts: On the bright side, the honey Brussels sprouts were on point and exactly what I was hoping for—crispy, sweet, and delicious. Other Notes: Parking: Parking can be a bit tricky, as it’s limited in the area. There is street parking available, as well as a nearby garage, but be prepared for potentially having to circle a bit for a spot. While I’ve enjoyed these dishes for many years, today’s experience left me uncertain about returning anytime soon. I’ll likely give it another try, but I hope the kitchen finds its rhythm with these classic favorites.

SERVICE: Superb, professional and fast! Our waitress Miya was professional and she ensured everything we asked for we received the first time we asked without having to remind her. As soon as she put our order in I kid you not, our appetizers and meals started coming out in 3-5 minutes. FOOD: So flavorful and delicious! The honey glaze salmon bites, the crab ball fries, the stuffed lobster and stuffed salmon ssssssooooo good! We would order all those items again hands down. The Mac n cheese, asparagus, cream spinach are order again worthy too. The brussels could've used a little more glaze. VIBE: My husband and I dressed casual but there were ppl dressed in street wear. Then there were customers celebrating bdays. So go as you feel. The music was a great mix of 90s and early 2000s hip hop and r&b, so it was a nice vibe. We went on a Friday afternoon around 6:15 and made reservations about 30 minutes prior and were seated immediately. But there was no line or wait anyway. We'll definitely go back!!

Reservations were made so there wasn’t a wait time. Friendly greeting. There was a little bit of a wait for the food to arrive. The drink was watered down. I ordered the lamb chops. It was ok . Not as tender as it should have been. Food was just ok . Service was good. Atmosphere was meh. Tables were too close to other guest. I would go back again if I was in the area because the service was decent and it may have been an off day, i would try something other than the lamb chops next time

100000% coming back! Food 10/10. Service 10/10. Food came out at a good time and was GOOD! We got the Honey Jerk Lamb chops, Mac and cheese, Brussel sprouts and the Red Snapper. When I tell yall them Lamb chops were Good! Nice little kick of spice and seasoned well! The Red Snapper was good too! We fully cleaned the plates?! I liked the Brussel sprouts they were seasoned well, they weren't hard it was more on the soft side, so if you dont like them softer, then it's not for you, but I loved it. We made a reservation and got seated within like 5 min or so from when we got there. If you're driving park in the apartment garage next door but just stay on the first level, it's free. It's tough finding parking on the street. But overall great experience, worth every penny.

Went around 1pm on a Sunday. Loved the vibe from the minute we walked inside. Staff was friendly and sat us immediately. (we did not have reservations) DJ was playing great music the entire time. Wings appetizer is basically a whole meal! Fries were delicious. We tried the lamb chops since it is apparently the best dish and we did enjoy them, but didn't think it was a huge hit. I can still understand why people really like them though. Heard good things about the kale but it was very cooked down and a bit too vinegary for me. Cocktails were delicious although a little watery.

Came here after a graduation and was actually surprised. Customer service was good, food came out fast, and the atmosphere was pretty good. However, seating is a little tight in some areas. Prices could be a bit better too. I ordered the following: Jerk lamb chops: 10/10 cooked perfectly. Nice char. Sauce was very good. Mac and cheese: 8.5/10 pretty good in regards to a restaurant. Creamed spinach: 6/10 good flavor but not as thick as I’m used to. It was more like the spinach was drowning and Cajun cream. I couldn’t get over the texture. Happy hour Hennessy drink: 7/10 good but a little too sweet for my palette Old fashioned: 7/10

Took server a little while to get to us but after on top of things and orders came quick. 20% gratuity added to bill automatically, which the server didn't mention and I gave her a tip not knowing. Had to ask for my receipt. Food is delicious , niece stated the lobster was a little chewy. Jerk Lamb lollipops are ALL that! It's open so the kitchen is right there and can be a little loud. Played R and B music.

I walked in to a welcoming, calm atmosphere. Everyone was so happy here, the employees and the customers. I made a reservation but I was able to walk in and I was seated right away! There was no parking on the street but many places to park in the garage less then a foot away. My server/bartender Ashley was friendly and very down to earth. I asked a lot of questions and not once did I feel like I bothered her. My food came out HOT! The serving sizes were HUGE, definitely worth the price. I ordered honey glazed lamb chops and crab cake. The crab cake was delicious! Mashed potatoes tasted home made. Kale was slow cooked with a lot of love. I personally didn’t like the honey glaze and I felt the lamb chops were a little on the small size. Crab cake fries 10/10 something I recommend every time you go. I ordered two drinks and I can’t remember the name of them but they were delicious and strong enough to my liking. I took off a star because I went on a Sunday, most of the sides were not available. Brocolli, Mac and Cheese etc. Make sure to try this, it’s a beautiful experience.

Lunch at Papi Cuisine in Baltimore was amazing! The lamb chops I had were beyond delicious. They were so tender and filled with so much flavor. The broccolini it came with was also tasty. I had their ice cream and cake dessert as well and of course was not disappointed and presentation was a plus. They really put time and attention into meal and the service that day. My server was really attentive and I loved that the lunch hour didn't have a crowd so there was no wait time with seating. It was very spacious and they had bar seating but I was seated at a table where I had plenty of room to thoroughly enjoy my meal.

The 20% service fee automatically added to our bill even though we didn't get good service made me feel like I was cheated, quite honestly. With the price point of the food, they should hire more staff to ensure people are getting the 5-star experience they're paying for. With that being said, the food and atmosphere are great. We made reservations 2-3 days in advance, were seated quickly and food came out quickly. We ordered crab cake egg rolls, honey jerk lamb chops and crab stuffed lobster. EXCELLENT!

I've had Papi Cuisine bookmarked for at least a couple years now, so when we were in town for an event, she was determined I was going to knock this bookmark off of my list. We chose their sister restaurant Proper Cuisine for dinner and Papi's for brunch. We had 11am reservations and arrived 15min early. I noticed the door had them opening at noon on Sundays. We made our reservations through RESY and I've had a bad experience once before with RESY so maybe we were going to be stuck for an hour :(. We then checked their own website and Yelp and all had them opening at noon. We even saw and employee exit the restaurant and asked what time do they open and HE SAID NOON!!! We saw a couple go inside at approximately 11:05am and we followed them. The host said they open at 11. You have to be kidding me right? Moving on..LOL! My girl has been bragging about their crab egg rolls since we met..so let's start with a round of those..LOL. They were OUTSTANDING. The flavor pops off the plate! I ordered the fried lobster and for my sides I had the kale and fries and I added an order of bacon, because a brotha LOVES bacon. She went for the Creme Brulee French Toast with a side of bacon and eggs. Our server was great accept when the bacon came, it was turkey bacon. Ask any bacon lover, turkey bacon ain't bacon. Who knew Papi Cuisine is a "pork free" establishment. We sent one order of the turkey "bacon" back and we both were slightly disappointed. My fried lobster was small but amazing and the French Toast was BOMB!!! Honestly, she set the expectations SO HIGH that it would have been hard to reach even if we didn't have a couple dining hiccups..LOL. Papi Cuisine is a very nice dining experience, with a chill spacious vibe and I cannot wait to come back for dinner and get into that awesome dinner menu!!!

The food was delicious but the service they offer does not match the price point at all. Decor is cute. We came in and were excited about the menu. I quickly decided on the crab cake egg rolls and happily told my server, to which she replied they were out for the day. Disappointed, I took some time and decided to skip appetizers after that. For entrees I decided to order the double crab cakes and my partner got the chimichurri lamb chops . Both entrees come with two sides. When we tried to order the sides we learned they were also out of mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese, which was exactly what I wanted. I'm not sure why the server neglected to say any of these items were 86'd until we had our heart set on them but whatever, rice and Brussel sprouts it is. After we placed our order the server was nowhere to be seen. A food runner dropped our order. I asked him for a coke and he bought it. The crab cakes were good with no filler. The rice had a light pleasant seasoning to them and the Brussel sprouts were branded as "sweet and spicy" and were delicious but not a hint of spice was evident to me. The kale greens were a tad bit salty but my partner raved over the chimichurri. The server spent all of our night at the door talking to the hostess at the hostess stand. Didn't come back to refill drinks or to see if our food met our expectations. When she finally did come back the food was gone so there was nothing to check on. She gave us the bill: $40 dollars for his lamp chops and $80 for the two crab cakes. Total bill was $151 (they add automatic gratuity). I usually tip even the worst of servers and honestly she was pretty much top 2 worst I've ever had. If the service experience matched the food this would have easily been a 4 star review. I understand why companies auto grat because servers hate getting shorted but when servers use that as an excuse to do a subpar job the establishment will undoubtedly lose customers.

Soooooo disappointed tonight. I arrived at 8:40pm. My entree just came out 10 minutes ago 10pm. Two people in my party completely finished their dinner prior to mine coming out.The kale is bland tonight. I come here for the kale. I ordered lamb chops medium well and they came out medium. I am very disappointed. Service is very slow tonight 10/16

I have been here plenty of times before but the place has gotten better from the last few times I've gone. The portion size is a little bit bigger and the quality of the food is way better. The lamb chops had so much glaze on it I didn't have to ask for extra it was so good I wanted to lick my plate. The drinks were amazing I don't like Hennessy at all but the mango lemonade was so good I had 3! Our server was super sweet and attentive loved her. The ambiance was so much better this time around I remember going and the dj was so loud I couldn't even hear the person sitting across from me but it was softer music this time and it was just so relaxing to be there. Definitely will be back.

I've been to Papi Cuisine a few times but particularly today I came for my sons graduation. It was originally a party of 6 but it ended up being a party of 9. It was easily accommodated. I appreciated that. I didn't get the waiters name but she was extremely attentive. We ordered a few appetizers then went to order our entrees. At that point I was actually full. I had the ultimate seafood pasta, a few ppl had the lampchops and sides, one person had the surf & turf fries, steak & sides and a two had wings. We had the crab cake egg rolls for appetizers and brussel sprouts! Everything was really delectable! The service was fast and they sent out a congrats cake and ice cream for my son.

This was our first time coming to Papi Cuisine and it didn't disappoint. I will say that the salmon bites were overcooked and the bread pudding was as well. They were both still easy to eat. Service was quick and easy. My cocktail was a little delayed, but food came out on time with no issues. Everything was hot and our server was Tami. Tami was very nice and checked in on us often. The restaurant is very clean and cute with the greenery wall. Everything seems to flow very well with servers taking orders and other staff collecting empty plates when customers were done. I enjoyed the music because it was a rotation of mixes to popular songs and full play of songs as well. The cocktails were good and not too strong but also not watered down. I guess my snapper fell down because when I saw others come out, they were standing up on the base of the fish. It was fried great and seasoned well. Getting a bite of the fish with the rice and beans was amazing. The rice was cooked very well and my beans were super tasty. I wasn't a fan of the lamp chops, they were just too sweet for me but my partner loved them as well as the mac and cheese. I thought the mac and cheese was good and I don't usually enjoy restaurants making it because it can go wrong, but it was good. The bread pudding was nice but overcooked so it was hard at the bottom. The ice cream was very nice.

I enjoyed Papi's for the most part. Bring an ethnic spot, it's true when they say go early cause they run out of their most popular dishes routinely. Almost as if the purchasing manager hasn't reconciled the demand and supply side of things. We were unable to sample the crab cake egg rolls among other dishes but the honey jerk lamb chops were divine. I'll definitely visit again.

I visited a restaurant that was quite busy, so it was best to make a reservation. The restaurant is located in a friendly and growing area. Upon arriving, we found several minor parties, and the bar was packed. I found my salmon bites slightly dry while everyone else enjoyed their meals and cocktails. However, please note that this restaurant is a bit pricey, so be prepared to spend more money. I tried the salmon bites for appetizers, which came with a lot of sauce but were dry. For my entrée, I ordered the stuffed lobster tail with broccolini and macaroni and cheese, which I found okay. Additionally, I ordered a vodka tonic that cost $15, which was more expensive than a crafted cocktail. Apart from these dishes, we also ordered other small plates and entrees, including crab cake egg roll, spinach and strawberry salad, colossal fried shrimp, lobster tail and asparagus, lamb chops, and honey-grilled chicken breast.

My boyfriend and I went to Brunch and it was great! The service was great, drinks were amazing, and the food was delicious. My bf had the stuffed salmon. Fries: slightly overcooked (he doesn't like well done fries) 4/10, mashed potatoes: 7.5/10 creamy, well seasoned. Salmon: delicious glaze, cooked well, crab stuffing inside was slightly underwhelming 8/10 I had the lamb chops. Mashed potatoes: tasted like box potatoes to me 4/10. Asparagus: slightly overcooked and under seasoned. The lam chop glaze helped 4/10. THE LAMB CHOPS: AMAZING! Tender, juicy, well seasoned. 9/10. The ambiance is nice! I would return

Lamp Chops to die for... but definitely take a ride from NJ for. I will come to get the lamp chops and mac and cheese!!! Amazing Amazing Amazing. Wings are good. I normally do take out, but last Sunday, I decided to see what the dine in experience was with my Mom.. we definitely enjoyed our food. The only gripe I had was that it took waaay too long for refills on my lemonade/ non alcohol... regular drink which are not free fyi. All staff was friendly and accommodating. Cool vibe and music. It's a real chill atmosphere. I enjoyed it. Reservations are a must.

If a food truck turned itself into a restaurant, Papi Cuisines would be it! Pro's - the menu is full of fun ways to eat crab cakes. - THE CRAB CAKE EGGROLLS , was definitely the star of our dinning experience. - my friends had the honey obay wings and loved it Con's - Service wasn't great. We had to repeatedly ask for the basics... we spent a lot of time looking for our server and the restaurant is not that big. - Kale was very salty -the restaurant music had commercials in between the songs... it distracted from the dining experience. Overall, food was 7.5 out 10. The ambiance and service 4/10.

Finally made it into Papi Cuisine. We decided to check it out on a Sunday afternoon right around 1pm. I wasn't expecting us to get a table right away, but we were lucky to get a table for three. Gonna keep this one short and sweet...this place is a slam dunk if you're looking for an upbeat, fun, grown and sexy spot with amazing food. The music is at a pretty high volume, so make sure your party is cool with that. We ordered a few items to split amongst the table. BBQ Jerk wings...AMAZING. Nice little kick but not too spicy. Comes with a side of fries. Great option for a meal or to split. We also ordered the chimichuri lamb chops with a side of Mac and mashed potatoes. Not gonna lie...the lamb was just ok. Not a favorite of mine. However, the Mac is one of my top Mac's in the area. Love this place! Hope it remains in my top 5 spots to visit in Baltimore.

We went to Papi on the recommendation of my daughter who turned 21! So we picked her up and went for dinner. Our resy was for 430pm. One note: we were a party of 5, and the Resy site would only take 4 or 6 people. They also required a credit card to make the reservation. If you cancel after the cutoff, they charge $20 per person. This is becoming the standard so.... But back to the resy headcount issue, I called and they said to make the resy for 6 and it's all good. We arrived with time to spare and my husband dropped us off so he could locate a parking spot. There is parking on the street but nothing was open. Just a block away was a parking area. Note there is a 2 hour limit for dining. I am a slow eater but that was more than enough time to dine and talk. Our server was !! Loved Rashaad!!! (I might have spelled it wrong). He was on it and explained everything to our party of five. We ordered and ate very well. The highlight was: EVERYTHING we ate! Great job chef!! EVERYTHING WAS FLAVORFUL!!! We really enjoyed ourse The wait staff is top notch and an empty plate will not sit on the table for long! Love it. Everything we ate was delicious and I will be back!! HEY RASHAAD!!

Came here early because we had to take a kid to the airport. It's in my old favorite restaurant minnow's location in riverside. Overall, although pricey, food was good. Snapper was a showstopper (look at the pic!), and jerk lamb chops were very good too. Friendly service too!

Are here with my mom last weekend and enjoyed every single bite! We started with the crab egg rolls which were filled with crab very similar to the pictures I saw. Then I ordered the jerk lamb chops, which were so good..it was also my first time ordering lamb at a restaurant. I was not disappointed. My mom ordered the red snapper. I believe it was after the restaurant was out of the other fish (I can't remember its name). She still liked the snapper. The food came out so fast and the service was on top of it. The music was really loud so that's not your thing, that's something be aware of, but they were playing jams! The restaurant was busy since we were there on a Friday night around 8pm with no reservations, however we were able to quickly seat in the bar area at a high top table. Parking I think is probably an issue but we were lucky to nab a spot right in front in street parking! The restaurant has a classy atmosphere while also giving a fun vibe. I would definitely go back!

This place was definitely a vibe. Great music, beautiful ambiance and the service from hostess to server was great. A food flow of service, wasn't too packed. Spacious seating even at the bar-top seating. The food didn't disappoint. We started off with the crab cake egg rolls (we crushed before I could even get a pic lol) then to our main entrees - the wings w/fries and the honey chicken w/mac&cheese. The ONLY reason its not a 5 star review due to the food taking quite a while to come out. The apps came out super fast, but our main courses came 20mins apart :/ but our server was super sweet and handled it very well in the end!

So I had to make it to Papi's while in town after seeing the Chimetime and Darius Cooks reviews. Both reviews were subpar, but I always like to give everything a try for myself. So glad I did! Let's start with the cons to get it out the way... If I have a reservation, I want to be seated promptly. I know things happen. So I granted them grace of course, but wish they had a seated waiting area as women come dressed nicely and I hate just standing and waiting. That's why I don't do the club scenes lol. That does it for the cons! Pros... 1. Great friendly faces at the door. 2. My waiters Brittany was AMAZING and actually took time to have some conversations with us and not just drop off and go. She was amazing. This was the #1 pro by the way! 3. Open kitchen! This means the business is saying watch us do your food right (in my opinion). 4. We got our food soooooo quick and noticed everyone else around us did also even with them being so slammed they had a wait out the door. I got the hot honey wings and they came with fries that aren't listed in the menu. I swear they gave me about a 10-12 good sized cut in house wings. It was $10!!! I couldn't believe it. They would not be able to keep chicken in house if they opened in Oklahoma! Lol. They were really good 4/5. I got a side of Mac and cheese also. Lord was it perfect for me! 5/5! The rum punch is addicting. So enter at your own discretion lol. It was AMAZING! Can't wait to come back because I wanted to try the bread pudding and was already stuffed. Go check them out, but make a reservation!

Heard so much about this restaurant and have been wanting to come for a while so we popped in here for my birthday dinner. It was a Monday evening but also the height of graduation season, so full but not overly crowded. The hostess who greeted us Kyah was super nice, I had an issue with my reservation and she got it fixed right on up and had us seated in no time. Our waitress after being seated was personable and attentive, we seemed to have two actually, both were nice. The wait for appetizers was appropriate, we ordered the crab cake egg-rolls, they were not huge but I understood why after the first bite, very little to no filler and they just the right amount for me as an appetizer. For the entrees we decided on the Fried Lobster, max & cheese, & brissel sprouts and the Stuffed Salmon, Mac & Cheese & brussel sprouts. Everything was DELICIOUS!!! The establishment definitely lived up to all the hype, I'll be back again soon.

Yeah , NO! Not impressed. Service lacking. While the young lady was very polite once she realized I was there at the bar she never made eye contact. My food (crab cake eggs rolls) came before my drink at I was at the bar..... make me think they're precooked and heated up or under a heat lamp. Still no drink.... And the bartender realizes her helper poured my drink out because she thought it was someone else's and they didn't order it... once I finally got it my pomegranate margarita was tasty not strong but flavorful. After eating Half of the egg roll dish I decided to order a side of kale.... Very disappointing I think they dumped the whole box of salt in them.... It was too much flavor if that's a thing and too soupy. The egg roll had a fishy taste more than crabby but good concept and I will eat them I like fish. Upon receiving my check utter confusion there's a service charge which I assume is gratuity as well due to the bottom of the receipt giving me "additional" gratuity options... I probably won't return id like to try the lamb chops being as they were recommended but there's tons of other places for me to go rather than here again. It wasn't bad just nothing special.

The parking is actually terrible around the place but the ambience and our server was great. Unfortunately, I couldn't eat my food which was the honey jerk lamb chops. They were very very spicy, ended up having to order something else. Maybe the owner should consider putting a spicy symbol by those particular items.

The food was so pretty and delicious we got the lamb chops and seafood pasta. We dove into it before taking pics but I got one of the bread pudding. Waitstaff was attentive and decor and vibe were on point.

We went here for my birthday and seems that a lot of the menu wasn't available at 6:00 pm on aMy wife was joking about the John Belushi Saturday Night Live Skit "Cheese Burger Cheese Burger" The food was tasty; the crab cake egg rolls with sauce on the side. The stuffed salmon and Bronzino were delicious. The portions were on the smaller side. I thought the service was decent. I was disappointed because something was missing. Generally restaurants pace the meal with drinks then appetizer and then the meal. Everything came at once including drinks and we had to remind the waitress of the appetizer.

The food was pretty good . The service was good also . What I didn't care for was the $20 dollar per person if you don't keep your reservation.

We made reservations for 8pm on a Friday. We arrived at least 30 minutes in advance and were immediately assisted and sat within 10minutes of arriving. I recommend that you arrive early as parking can be a challenge to find. For drinks we had the Hennessy island which is tropical blend of pineapple juice, blue curaçao, peach snaps, coconut rum topped with Hennessy. 2/5-And a lemon drop 5/5. For main entrees we had: JUMBO LUMP CRAB STUFFED LOBSTER Crab Stuffed Lobster with a butter drizzle & grilled lemon on the side. A 5/6 oz Main lobster tail stuffed with 5oz of jumbo lump crab meat, broiled with mash and Brussels Rating: 3/5 HONEY JERK LAMB CHOPS 4 lollipop lamp chops with broccolini and mac and cheese. The menu says there is an additional fee for mac and cheese but it was excluded from the bill. Rating: 4/5 ULTIMATE SEAFOOD ALFREDO 5-6 oz grilled lobster tail, colossal shrimp, & jumbo lump crab. The menu also indicates that there is an additional charge for extra sauce but we were only charged .75 Rating: 4/5 Happy hour is honored Monday-Thursday 12-8pm I highly encourage reservations as this place gets crowded fast. Dress code is casual!

This is a nice upscale place to go. The cocktails are strong. Menu varies depending on what day you go. My favorite is the bang bang shrimp and the deep fried lobster. It's best to make a reservation. I have never had bad service of the many times I have dined there.

Celebrating my daughter's 27th birthday. The food was good, but prices are a bit exuberant. Nice atmosphere, until the music started blaring so loudly, we could barely hear our conversation. Be prepared to pay $30-60 p/p.

Amazing experience going to Papi Cuisine during a work trip! The dress code is business casual so remember to dress to impress. There was an awesome vibe inside and great music playing. Our waitress was nice and she checked in us often. The food was PHENOMENAL. We started off with the crab egg rolls. They were stuffed to the max with crab. Definitely a must-try. For my entree I had the Honey Jerk lamb lollipops which were so tender and the sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. Some of the best lamb I've EVER had. The Brussels sprouts and creamed spinach were solid, but the Mac and cheese was a home run. Super creamy and delicious. I can't wait to visit again.

If you plan on going, I would highly recommend making a reservation. I looked up about 30 mins after being seated and almost every table was taken. The food was amazing. Jerk honey lamp chops 9/10. They didn't reheat well because they were already well done when they arrived at the table Jumbo Shrimp 8/10 massive, but little salty for my taste Crab eggroll 10/10 best bang for your buck. And it was so yummy Crab stuff salmon 10/10 beyond pricey but it is still yummy Strawberry salad 10/10 lord it was one of the best salads I've ever had Bread pudding and ice cream 10/10 it had me in a choke hold. I almost ordered another one to go. Apple turnover 7/10 it was ok but my least favorite

My husband and I were visiting Baltimore and wanted to patronize a black owned restaurant. Papi Cuisine was a delight! We didn't have reservations but they were able to accommodate us anyway. The food and drinks were awesome, and the atmosphere was lively! Definitely a great choice if you're in Baltimore and looking for some good food, drinks and fun

My 2 friends and I met there for lunch. No record of our reservation. Still, we were seated promptly. One of my friends and I got the salmon burgers, which were good; the seasoned fries that accompanied them were mediocre. My other friend ordered lamb chops, pink in the middle, which arrived charred. They were out of pino origin, so we ordered saivignon blanc, which was served warm. A warning: they serve neither beer, coffee, nor tea. A sub-par lunch for 3 cost us $213, including tip. Not recommended. ​​​

I've been wanting to try Papi's for a while now and I was finally able to make it there this past Saturday! The restaurant is a little tight, but it's cute. I'd say the service was fast, maybe even a little questionable. My appetizer came out before my drinks. But I guess fast food is what gets the people in and out. Speaking of drinks, my drink taste like juice, but my cousin liked her Mango Lemonade. Moving on to the food..the crab cake egg rolls were bomb! The sauce on top is what made it. I also had the honey jerk lamb chops (which it seemed like everyone was ordering). They had the right amount of seasoning. The brussel sprouts are a MUST TRY. Overall, I'd give them an 8/10. They are on the pricey side and I do think some of it is overpriced, but the quality is decent.

The food here is banging been a few times now. I like the lamb chops drinks are great! The ambience is upscale. Great service. Hip hop urban vibes with the tunes!

Hello! Again I am here to express my total happiness and delight, with this amazing place I found.. the food was 10/10..! Delicious crab cakes ( real crab) Mash potatoes were real ! Broussel spouts on point sweet and spicy.. Waitress was very friendly and attentive.. Diffently would recommend and if you want great food.. Beautiful environment very clean! Could use and update on the bathroom is the only negative thing I have to say..

Very nice ambiance- cute decor, upscale'ish vibe. Menu was pretty basic but all of the items were presented thoughtfully. Service was meh - really slow to take our order or refill our drinks, even slower to bring our check. Food came out quickly though. Lamb 4.5/5 Lobster 3.5/5 Crab Egg Rolls 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Service 3/3

Hell yes! I've been wanting to try this place for yearsssss. I finally had the chance. I ordered online and received 20% off. We got jerk chicken tacos, strawberry salad, and crab egg rolls. It was ready in less than 30 minutes. Everything was good, fresh, and hot. The egg rolls weren't worth the hype to me but they are generous with the crab meat. Strawberry salad was delish. Crisp and the dressing was refreshing. The tacos were soo good. The sauce was perfect.

Let's start without amazing waiter Rashad he was attentive quick and just overall amazing. He made sure we had everything we needed before we could even ask. And was honest with his reviews on items we weren't sure of. Even the hostess was very sweet and made sure we were taken care of as well Now the food ! Man this place is bomb I every bite was mind blowing flavor. Everything cooked to the right temperature. Everything came out HOT now warm or like warm but made to order hot and quick !! The honey old bay wings were so good seasoned well hot and the sauce was perfect. The crab cake egg rolls were perfect no filler Jist crab and you truly can't beat the price for what you get! We got the honey jerk lamb chops and the chimichurri lamb chops these people know good food ! I hate ordering my lamb medium and it coming out well down. The lamb was MEDIUM TENDER AND JUICY sauces were immaculate. The mashed potatoes were great and kind of like a Cajun mash ! The Brussels were great as well as the asparagus. The margarita was kind of just sour mix so nothing too special but good nonetheless

You have to park on the street. They also have security, which is plus. This place is amazing. The food was to die for. I had the Crab cake Egg Rolls for my appetizer. For my entree, I had the Fried shrimp, Greens, and macaroni and cheese (up charge). Hence the reason why I gave it 4 Stars. The service was kinda slow, but they were quite busy. The ambiance was nice an chill, with decent music playing in the background. I will definitely be going back to try some other items on the menu and order more of those bomb Crab cake egg rolls. Y'all better make that reservation and get there!

I wanted to love it but there are some issues with a resturant like this trying to be chic. 1. Crab cake was lots of filler, not a jumbo lump crab cake and was flavorless. 2. Lobster was dry and overcooked. I got the garlic butter lobster. It came out dry as all hell. I had to ask for a side of melted butter. You would think it would have came with it. 3. Wings were great but they wouldn't accommodate all flats. I should be able to get my food the way I want. 4. Fries were good, but they were out of ketchup. What food service doesn't have ketchup? 5. Kale was excellent. 6.. Salmon was good. Nothing special. 7. No coke, just flat Pepsi. 8. Bathrooms were dirty and the soap dispenser was out. Overall this place gets a 5 out of 10. The place wasn't overpriced but it wasn't worth the cost either for such bland food purporting to be a black owned afro-carribean spot.

I love Papi's cuisine. Always flavorful. Consistent delicious drinks. The servers are always friendly and accommodating and genuinely seem to like working with each other. Comfortable seating and great music selection. I'll be back time and time again.

Made dinner reservations here and glad we did! We ordered lamb chops and Cajun pasta- mouthwatering good! Ambience - upbeat and fun. Great vibes and I love their setup. There's indoor and bar seating. There's also booth seating. This is a great place for a date night or a girls night out. There were also families there- this place seems kid friendly as well. We came during a busy time - and their team smoothly handled the rush period. We didn't experience delays at all. Service: Great! Our server was very engaged with us and friendly. She made us feel at home. Quality: want Cajun influenced food? GO HERE! that Cajun pasta made me start eating ugly lol- bc it was so good and I just wanted more. The lamb was extremely tender and was flavored and prepared well and my fiancé ate every last bite. The cocktails were cute and dangerously good.

This was my first time here and it didn't disappoint! The service was great and the food was delicious! I also really enjoyed the music that they had playing in the background. We had crab cake egg rolls as an appetizer and I really enjoyed them! My entree was the lamb chops and the flavor and tenderness was amazing!!!! Like something I haven't had in a while! And the Mac and cheese! You have to get it! Like don't event think twice. I didn't have time for dessert but I hear that is delicious too. I went on a Tuesday and it wasn't super busy so do yourself a favor and visit Papi Cuisine for great food and great vibes!

The Crab Egg Rolls and Chicken& shrimp pasta was sooo good 9/10 . The drinks were okay but I would have chose a different drink . Customer service 10/10 ! I would definitely come back! Highly recommended

I had not planned to visit this establishment today, however I am glad I did. Upon entering the restaurant, I appreciated the bar being sequestered to not interfere with the dining experience. We didn't have to wait too long to be seated but had a bit of a wait before our server greeted us. Another server [Foster] came and assisted us throughout our dining experience-he was fantastic! Our appetizers came out at supersonic speed, which was great because I was hungry (LOL) however our main dishes were staggered, which was frustrating. Despite the lapse, the food was delicious! I should note that the lamb chops were over cooked, and it appeared that other patrons complained about the discrepancy in sizes. Also! I ordered the PassionFruit Pleaser, which was cocktail perfection! Overall, the experience could have been better but it was good. Once the technical difficulties with the kitchen computer system are resolved, they will be back to a great service experience.

Food can very fast, all food was delicious music was good and good vibes . I was disappointed that they did not have the salmon bites because today was Sunday. Will definitely come back again

My visit to Papi Cuisine was inspired by an IG post. The rumors are true IG makes things appear better than in real life. I ordered the red snapper and my dinner companion ordered the lamb chops. We both agreed the greens were giving Glory greens vibes. My snapper was served with rice and pinto beans. The snapper was decent but the pinto beans were cooked with olives and had an olive juice taste. My dinner companion enjoyed the lamb chop and raved about the mashed potatoes. My Frose' Me was the show stopper. The service at Papi's started off slow. But, our sever was friendly and suggested the crab cake egg rolls as an appetizer. I enjoy people watching so being seated at a hightop table in the bar area was prefect. The restaurant decor is on trend... and the unisex bathrooms have distinctive wallpaper which is ideal for selfies. All-in-all... if in Baltimore, I would recommend visiting Papi Cuisine for Sunday brunch.

Listen, run, don't walk to Papi Cuisine for brunch! The food was amazing and they have the best freakin French toast I have ever had in my 35 years of life! Came here on a Sunday around 12:30p and it was the perfect reservation time before it started to fill up in there! My love ordered the crab cakes entree which came with two sides and he loved it! I also ordered a side of mac and cheese and it was delicious! A bit pricey in the end- our check was about $140, mainly because of the crab cakes- I think the market price was about $80 just a heads up for anyone ordering this since the cost isn't listed. I will definitely be back!

My first time coming to this restaurant and the ambience food and service were outstanding to me. I love brunch food and always looking for some good food along with great dining experience. My waiters name was Quinton ( Q) he did an amazing job with explaining the main as far as what was good and very patient and personable. I'll definitely dine again and would recommend to others. 5 stars
