Cafe Paprika

Random thoughts:1- it's pick up only. No dining in. 2- the owner is the chef. He's one of the best. Always pleasant and in good mood. 3- get the chicken wings. 4- we ordered everything on the menu over the years. 5- this is one of the best Moroccan restaurants in the US. definitely top 5. 6- GET DOZEN CHICKEN WINGS PER HEAD 7- I love Chinese and Korean chicken wings. Sorry Moroccan wings here win. Sorry no photos as no time for the lens was found yet.

Food was amazingThe owner made me feel like we were friends for years!! Wonderful man!The space made me feel like I walked into a different country. Lovely meal and experience. Looking forward to coming back again!

Yay finally had a chance to visit this place recently. There is free street parking in front of the restaurant, making the pickup process easy.It is a takeout only place for now. I originally tried my order on its website, but you cannot pay online. I then tried my order via the Yelp app. Unsurprisingly, the prices from Yelp order is higher than its website. It's common practice (higher charges on a third party platform), so I was fine with it. The Yelp app gave me an estimate on the order time, but didn't provide completion updates. By the time I got there, my food was already ready and waiting for me. The owner (I think) greeted me warmly. The food is very good! The price isn't "cheap", but you are supporting local businesses. I have to say the entrees are on the sweeter side. I don't normally have Moroccan food, so I'm not necessarily used to the taste. The Paprika's Moorish Grilled Wings were so so good! Overall, very good quality food! Highly recommend it!

This place is a hidden gem . To start we love the 'Moorish Grilled Wings'. The owner recommended the 'Salmon Tagine' for my husband the first time we went & he has gotten it every time since + I love the Chicken Parm! The meal wouldn't be complete without a slice if the delicious chocolate cake & a cup of one of the best coffees I've ever had

A friend suggested I try Paprika because she knows how incredibly picky I am about restaurants, having worked in them for years. I was 100% pleased with my lunch last week! I ordered the Moroccan Burger, still slightly pink in the center, topped with onions and mixed greens and served on a nice thin focaccia. The side of honey slaw -- OMG -- perfect crunchy complement! My friend ordered the beet salad which was even better than one I could make at home. Beets were perfectly roasted and delicately dressed.The owner told us he decided to NOT reopen the dining room after the ups and downs of the Covid pandemic because he couldn't find enough reliable help and decided instead to continue to offer his amazing food to the community on a takeout basis only. I'm so glad he did, and I wish him continued success!

Amazing owner amazing food He treats everyone like a guest as if this is his home. A very unique experience in the area. A bit pricey but worth every penny.

Great Moroccan food. Very decent portions. Outstanding service. Listen to their advices and you won't regret.

Cafe Paprika is a wonderful surprise! Had no idea there was a Moroccan restaurant just a short distance away from Providence. Definitely worth the drive! Do not be fooled by this casual little cafe. The chef/s are experts in their craft. If you're not into heavy, complex meals, I would highly recommend getting (from the appetizer menu): "Paprika's Moorish Grilled Wings $10.95Tossed with olive oil, garlic, lemon and Mediterraneanherbs. (everybody's favorite)" Finger lickin' Good! The succulent meat is fall-off-the-bone tender, while the skin is slightly charred and crispy--all bathed in the mouthwatering mildly tangy sauce. You will never view wings the same way ever again. I recently ordered a side of Roasted Potatoes (seasoned with garlic and herbs) to go with the wings which paired perfectly. Some Moroccan dishes tend to be heavy and fancily dressed up with complex herbs and spices and different kinds of dried fruits and nuts, which (for me) can be overwhelming, but nevertheless interesting if you are tired of eating the same old simple comfort foods. If you're in an adventurous mood and want to try something dressy and fancy, I would recommend (from the Moorish Meat Dishes menu): "Mrouzia Almond Chicken $16.95Slow Braised chicken leg with caramelized onions, raisins, Moroccan spices & Roasted almonds over cinnamon couscous or rice." This is heavenly. My husband loved the lightly Roasted Tilapia, though I'm more accustomed to overcooked, meatier fish. A friend enjoyed her Lemon Chicken Tagine; I took a bite and thought it was okay. Guess everyone has a different palate. Don't forget dessert! The chocolate, almond, and lemon cakes are delicious. The host is warm and welcoming. Comfortably inviting, casual atmosphere. Free time limited street parking. Will update once I've discovered more favorites!

Walked in and was greeted with a warm and welcoming smile. Excellent service and delicious eats. Will return! Thank you

We loved the chicken wings here... garlicky and delicious. We also tried tried the sandwiches. They were fresh and a good sized. I regret that we didn't try the Moroccan tea.
