The owner is a gentleman who gives excellent service and food. The food was fresh and delicious, I highly recommend! Everything is 100% halal as well.

We visited when spending a weekend in Monterey and loved this place! The owner/staff was so friendly and helpful, the food was amazing, and the little outdoor seating area was charming. Will definitely be back when we are in the area.

I came to Monterey for a self care day and decided to check out this cute little cafe =) I am happy I stayed through the longer line. I expected that meant good food. And it sure was. I noticed it was a one man show. He was super sweet to gifting us free bakalavas for the wait time. I lovedddddd the walnut and the apple cinnamon. I ended up buying 20 pieces for my drive home! I got the falafel and baba plate with the spicy lemonade. It was super tasty. What I love about his one man show, is the dedication to this place, his love of food. It is not your typical fast food culture, it is a come sit, talk, stay awhile, enjoy this food and good company kind of vibe.

Paprika Cafe is a true local favorite. If you know, you know. This tiny restaurant is owner operated – I’ve never seen another staff member. He cooks the food himself fresh to order every time. The falafels are exquisite, love the hummus, the garlic chicken is perfection… I could go on and on! Do not pass up the homemade vegan baklava - it’s packed and ready to go right next to the register. The owner has occasionally thrown some in for free when I place a big group order for my friends. I’m kind of ashamed I’ve never left a review for this spot because I stop in at least once a month and I have never been disappointed. So fricken good! I’m so glad this business prevailed through Covid shutdown when Monterey lost so many great local restaurants.

So delicious! Seating on the patio is so cute & the chef was the nicest! Oh and of course the baklava - I can't wait to visit again!
The food was absolutly amazing. Some of the best food I have ever had. The sitting area was outside and very cute. The gentleman who took our order and served us our food was kind and welcoming.

Quite possibly the most delicious wraps I've experienced. Don't be put off by the tucked away location or the quick, blunt service! We were gifted some pieces of baklava on the way out, and we couldn't stop singing its praises the entire walk back.
