Adorable little shop with great vegan options. The food was fantastic. Accessible from the street but easy to miss if you’re not careful. Gorgeous outdoor eating area. Atmosphere great. Highly recommended.

Incredible! The owner was so kind and welcoming. We both ordered the garlic chicken platter and loved it. Don’t miss the vegan baklava. The owner told us he’s been running the restaurant by himself for 29 years! Amazing food. Get a patio seat or take it to go on the beach.

Authentic Lebanese food. The owner is extremely hospitable, and the food is top-notch. The flavor of the lamb kafta is uncompared to any other around the area.

This place is pretty awesome. The food is good you order at a window there is a small outside seating area but I took it to go. The baklava is also really really good 12 small pierces for 12$. The falafel wrap was 11.25 and was a good amount of food, it felt healthy and filling. Now I understand why it had a write up from Michelin.

The cafe came highly recommended by the fine folks at the Kayak Connection in Moss Landing. It did not disappoint. We had the gyros and stocked up on vegan baklavas. There’s limited seating on site, so take your food to go if possible.

Delicious food, probably better ordered as take out as there’s not much seating. Seemed like only one employee working at the time, but he was working extremely hard.

This is a wonderful spot! There is a cute little nook to sit in. The food was fabulous! The tahini was LIT and the owner was super sweet and came out talked to our family and told us about his interesting life. Highly recommend.

Delicious little spot. We had garlic chicken (absolutely wonderful) and kafta, which was perfectly seasoned and balanced between lamb and beef. Owner was very friendly and ran a great little operation. We sat on the little nook patio and felt like we were tucked away somewhere abroad. Will be back.

I passed paprika Cafe many years only because I caught up with him every Tuesday at the Farmers market but now I’ve noticed he is not there so here I am at his restaurant where he hand makes everything from scratch. I love it I will go to no other place. Why because I just came from Mykonos and now I know what the authentic taste is for Greece and countries that are close to it. My taste buds are craving since I’ve been back, my favorite is the Lamb and the eggplant baba ganoush but decided to order the spanakopita combo. Ahh it’s fantastic ❤️
