Cafe Paprika

A rare delight! The only Moroccan food you'll find in Denver area... Maybe Colorado? This quaint unassuming restaurant was better than expected never having Moroccan food before. There was gray options for vegetarians and gluten free (me) I had plenty to eat. The portions are BIG. BIGGGG!! You'll love this place like we did!!

My family has been going here for several years and it has always been one of our favorites. We returned this week with our young child and the owner was just as friendly as he has ever been. The food was delicious, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere was calm. When people talk about a gem, this is the type of restaurant they are talking about. If you like hummus, this place has the BEST hummus around.

Absolutely wonderful cafe with amazing food and great service! Highly recommend this place if you want delicious Moroccan cuisine.

Cafe Paprika is a staple in the Aurora and just as delicious as I remember it being. I recently moved back to Aurora and after almost 4 years Chakib still remembered me!

Cafe Paprika has been here for over 30 years now and Chakib still runs it with the same care and love that he always has. The food is amazing, full of flavor and the portions are massive. I'm 1/2 Libyan and this is closest I can get to dishes that I grew up with. They've recently reopened after only doing take out for the last 2 years due to staffing issues. Chakib is the only person working the dining area and a single chef working the kitchen. Please be patient with service as the food is well worth the wait.
His card reader was down unfortunately which he informed me before sitting down, so please call to see if you need to bring cash to eat. There is a 7-11 next door with an ATM as well.

Everything on the menu is phenomenal but I got the combination appetizer with baba ganoush, hummus and falafel, a kefta tajine and bastilla and baklava to go. The portions are more than enough for several meals (I'm sharing my food with my roommates when I get home) I'm excited to bring back my family as I'm sure my Baba would love to have some familiar cooking in good company.

Shukran Chakib!

Great authentic food, I found the food to be really good. Next time that I visit Aurora, I am surely returning here. Good service

This place feels like home. Amazing service and even better food. It is the best falafel I've ever tasted, and the chicken was juicy and flavorful. The portions are generous and priced well. I plan to come back as often as possible. There is ample parking, and we had no wait to be seated.

Cafe Paprika is the only authentic moroccan restaurant in Colorado. Even for Moroccan standards, Cafe Paprika has the highest and best quality of food. As a Moroccan, I am very picky when it comes to food, and Chakib definitely has the best food. His kindness and high quality of service make you feel like you are stepping into his home, and he is giving you the care he will give to an honored guest.
