Paprika Cafe

Great food, value for price and the owner was very sweet!

Oh my gosh, this place was amazing. The food was excellent and the owner was such a sweet man. The baklava was so good too, now over sweet, just enough. 10/10 recommend!

Great food, worth the wait

Such a great menu and a very welcoming staff. We really enjoy doing lunches here. Good for both the vegetarians and omnivores.

The best & authentic Mediterranean food in Carmel. Serving food here since 25 years. Try fresh vegan baklava...

Came here on Black Friday 2016 and the owner is here by himself. He's super courteous and friendly. Very cozy and homely feel. Food is super flavorful: we had three Garlic Chicken and Kafta plates. That garlic sauce is to die for! And probably the best baklava I've ever tasted!

This is a very small local place that may be overlooked by many people. It's a one-man operation with the cook acting as the server as well. The food is amazing and very reasonable. The Baklava here is incredible as the chef is a pastry chef as well.

Kinda feels like I went for a visit to someone's cozy home and ate their amazing food while they fuss a little that it's all just right. I basically have an extra dad now. Will come back here any time I'm in town!!! Everything smoky, smooth, delicious, homemade.

Amazing food and the owner is awesome to deal with. Authentic Mediterranean and they even had quite a bit of vegan options including Baklava. The humus is top notch, the Baba Ghanouge is good, the falafel is amazing and the Baklava was spectacular. This is the type of local business that you want to support. It's a small space and parking is limited to street parking in front of the location. If you have more than two people, do takeaway, the food is well packaged and stays in good shape till you get it to your location. They don't skimp on the portions or things like the pita bread. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Delicious Lebanese fair just like mom makes. Easy going owner who loves feeding people. Relaxed home like atmosphere.

Food was very good! Garlic chicken had tons of garlic to it! Tiny place, and a one man show but apparently there is a woman who works with him 3 days a week.

A little place full of delicious surprises run by a very nice owner and chef. Cozy seating area inside, nicely decorated, serves Mediterranean dishes. Lots of vegan options. Tasty baba ganoush, tabuleeh, hummus and falafel. Not to mention the baklava!

Absolutely my favorite place on earth. Christophe is the sweetest man and makes the greatest food. If it’s busy, expect a wait because it’s only him that works here, So give the man a break, the food is well worth the wait. And don’t forget to leave without the baklava!!!

Delicious kafta. Pita bread doesn't live to the same standard and I wish it was the correct sauce.The super positive surprise was the complimentary mini baklava... incredibly delicious and fresh.

Amazing food, plenty of vegetarian options. The owner runs a very tight one man- show and it can get very full very quickly! Go there with plenty of time and enjoy the flavours :) closed on Tuesdays because he is at the farmers market downtown.
