Back from Morocco for about a month and had a hankering for Moroccan food. Absolutely loved this place. The food is authentic Moroccan food - not just ‘Mediterranean.’ Highly recommend the Bastilla and the sweet couscous - identical to what we ate in Morocco. A friend also loved her chicken kebabs. The service was lovely, and the servings were large enough for leftovers. Will be happy to enjoy my meal again. Thank you Cafe Paprika!

I've never had this style of gyros before. The tastes were. Great blend of savory and sweet. Definitely a skilled chef in the kitchen. I did not like that the meat was cut in bite size pieces. It allowed it fall out of the gyro. I now know I prefer shaved meat. The decor of the restaurant was beautiful, it's too bad the place was not busier, it is a great place. Clean, friendly and good food.

Good middle Eastern restaurant in a small strip mall. The lamb dishes are great. The lamb kebabs were a lot of food for lunch. The lamb was cooked to perfection and paired well with the sauce. The rice and vegetables were very good. I had planned to go with Flan for dessert but was full by then. Service is good - fast and friendly. The space is nicely decorated and comfortable. The music is low level and pleasant. The parking lot is small and can fill at peak times.
