This is one of the best restaurants I’ve visited. The service was the exceptional and the food was great. I had the Lamb and rice which had a excellent balance in flavor.

Food was great. We enjoyed the lamb shank! Best Mediterranean food we have had here in Denver.

I just said to my husband, «I haven’t had a meal like that in a while». What a find! The food was amazing from the hummus to the desert. We will be back often!

Lmakla bnina! Having lived in Morocco for two years, I didn’t think I’d find a place in Denver that could meet my expectations. However, after having the bastilla, veggie couscous and tasting my husband’s chicken tajine, I stand corrected. The mint tea isn’t what you’d get in Morocco, but I’ll take the less diabetic inducing mint tea that was served at Paprika over the inordinate amount of sugar I eventually became accustomed to.

It’s Like Taking A Trip With Your Tastebuds!
After having Café Paprika bookmarked for months I finally came here! I don’t know why I waited so long!!! It was such a great experience for me and my mom. She lives in Hawaii and doesn’t have things like this so it was a treat for her :) I found that the whole time we were welcomed and attended to by the owner. He was so nice. And pours tea with a very long, impressive flourish! I would say almost the length of my body lol baller status!!!
For lunch we shared the Bastilla as a app. It’s like if you took a baklava, kind of, and put spiced chicken inside and without the honey. Or if you could make a Hot Pocket edible… This was crazy good! The powdered sugar dusted on top makes it look like dessert but it is something even more special: D After we had the Lamb Shank and a Fish dish (I think it was sole…) Nice portions, not too big and enough for small leftovers! Both lamb and fish were just so tender and full of hearty flavor.
I want to go back again and bring my partner!

I’ve been here twice and am not that adventurous, but had the chicken bastilla and still, months later, it makes my mouth water. Writing this review makes me want to go back right now! Everything is good, but man, that bastilla. It’s haunting.

Absolutely delicious food, relaxed atmosphere, and friendly (almost aggressively so) service. The chicken bastilla is my new favorite food; the flavor combination is odd to a Western palate but so good! Don’t rush this meal — this restaurant is authentically polychronic, which is to say — it’s supposed to be a social, sensation-​rich experience where you don’t pay attention to the clock. I expect slow service when I go to any ethnically focused restaurant; this was actually a bit more prompt than I anticipated.

Worst hospitality I’ve ever seen. I don’t have the option to give 0 stars else I could give that definitely. I went and sat by my self no one to receive. The waiter came after 10mins and took my order and he din’t even put a glass of water on my table for the next 37mins till I ask and later after 51mins I got my order of appetizer and a juice. This is the 1st place I left without giving even a cent for tips.
Worst place.
And to be frank the food was ok. I would give a rating of 3 on 5 for the food compared to other meditation restaurants. Over all F…

My wife and I were in Aurora for a couple days and came to Paprika because of the heat Unilocal reviews… And Unilocal did not lead us astray!
The food was incredibly flavorful and delicious. We split a bunch of appetizers (falafel, hummus, baba ganouj, soup, bastilla with chicken — an absolute must) and then also shared a couscous royal, which came with every kind of delicious meat imaginable. The ambiance of the restaurant was great and the service was top notch.
Will come back for sure next time I’m in Aurora!

Tiny place in a strip mall but HOLY COW the food is DELICIOUS! Everything is made fresh, it honestly feels like you walked into someone’s home and they made you dinner. The seafood Bastille was to die for. The appetizer sampler and the fish tajine was also amazing. Very friendly staff. It’s a 40 min drive but we will definitely be back soon.

Service was great! I believe the owner personally served us, kept refilling our tea and waters, accommdated us with every request. We forgot one of our phones there and they waited of us to come back to get it. Definitely will come back to visit.

This restaurant is the best Mediterranean/​Moroccan ever! I haven’t taste anything this good for 15 years. I have been to many different Mediterranean restaurants and this one is incomparable. I would highly recommend this place! It’s our first visit and we haven’t decided which dish is the best at this time. We will keep coming and explore through out their menu.
Their desserts and coffee are to die for!

This is our first time at a Moroccan and we were BLOWN AWAY! This place is amazing!
My wife had the Apricot Chicken and I had the Tajine Marrakesh.
We will definitely be back and often!

I had their Bastilla appetizer which I though was really good. I also had their meatballs with fried eggs with rice which tasted great. I did find the fact that the tagine did not come with neither rice or bread strange but I don’t know much about Moroccan food. This place is a close second to Restaurant ‘Tagine’ in San Francisco. You will not be disappointed!

Had the lamb gyro and it was perfect, served with paprika fries (yum). The owner actually talked to us and said that he doesnt advertise but through referrals and online venues like Unilocal,word has spead. It is definitely worth the trip!

Went here for the first time on a Wednesday around noon. Its a cozy little place, maybe 10 tables. My coworker and I were greeted and seated right away.
We ordered hirrarra soup, salad, pita bread, a gyro and fries. Food was delivered timely, hot food hot and cold food cold! The soup was a first for me and it was great. Vegetarian and the combination of lentils with cilantro was delicious and refreshing! The hummus was fresh, pita bread soft and warm, fries perfectly seasoned.
I think my favorite thing about eating here was the cozy atmosphere and personable staff. We were waited on by the owner. He chatted with us quite a bit and made us feel welcome.
Just a note. Tea and hummus is offered but is not complimentary, don’t get sucked in! He started pouring the tea before we even said yes, creating the impression that it was free. We said we didn’t want hummus but then he brought it anyways and charged us for that as well. Either way, i recommend this restaurant for the good food, cozy atmosphere and personable staff but be careful with the up selling.
