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!

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.

Take out only, street parking outside. Probably a little more pricey than average takeout food but i’d love to come more often if budget allowed!Wings are fantastic if not burnt, though you can’t see it in the pic bc they’re all flipped to the lighter side. The drumsticks were fine, but the smaller pieces were pretty burnt and acrid on the skin part. Otherwise perfectly crispy, and taste is just right. Lightly lemony, not too strong and way better than it sounds. Was watching TV though and got oil all over my shorts. Eat with napkins nearby.Lamb m’charmel is good, some spice but not spicy. Very much a cozy home cooked taste, not sure how else to describe.

I had a fantastic experience at Cafe Paprika Halal Moroccan Restaurant in Norwood, Massachusetts. While they currently offer only takeout, the owner kindly allowed us to sit inside with our child, which was greatly appreciated. This was our first time trying Moroccan cuisine in the USA, and it certainly lived up to our expectations. The flavors were exquisite and authentic, showcasing the restaurant's dedication to quality. We're grateful for the warm hospitality and delicious food. Can't wait to visit again!

I like the food. I like the environment of the restaurant too. And I particularly like the owner. Just a decent man wanting you to enjoy a meal in his restaurant, as if it were his home. Try it, you'll like it! I never had tangine in my life, but I tried it and loved it. So many other items have led me to try them, and all were pleasing.

5-Star potential but unfortunately did not measure up to this. Restaurant currently set up for take-out only (since Covid), so used DoorDash. Ordered a chicken dish (Chicken Ala Paprika), an eggplant dish (Eggplant Al’ Arrabiata) and a braised spinach based appetizer (Moroccan Bakoula).The Good:The food was delicious, with a unique blend of spices, and there were very generous sized portions.The Bad: There was very little chicken or eggplant in the respective main dishes. Both were over 90% inexpensive rice and some mixed vegetables. For over $20 per dish they needed to have far more chicken and eggplant in them. If we were dining-in vs. takeout we would have sent them back. It’s probably easier to add less of the costliest ingredients for a 100% takeout only restaurant. There are plenty of tables for dining in, but the owner has chosen to have no dine-in, take out only.With this said, we will give likely the restaurant another chance and we hope they do better next time.
Amazing flavors and great portion sizes! Everything has been deliciou. Support your local businesses, especially great ones like these!

I picked up some Moroccan food from there few weeks ago, but I didnt eat it right away. I put it on the fridge for 1 or 2 days, but when I open it, it was frozen, and it didnt look good. I ordered chicken with Couscous. I warmed it on the stove, but the Couscous burned. I think its better to separate couscous from the stew.It’s not as yummy as my Mom’s Moroccan Food.

From the picture you will tell how delicious and authentic this Moroccan restaurant is ??I have been to many Moroccan restaurant in Massachusetts but like this one I have not ever tried one ????What I love the most about the restaurant is the quality of food you receive ?? it is so delicious and authentic ?? I have came to this restaurant many time and by all mean the chicken dishes as well as the meat is to go for ?? literally you cannot go wrong with any dish ??The owner of this restaurant is very friendly and whenever the restaurant is not too busy which is rarely, there is a chance to know more about the dishes and the Morrocan culture ??Each time I go to this restaurant I return back home with different pallete. It is really refreshing and rich experience by all means ??I absolutely recommend this restaurant and if I have a chance to go back to Massachusetts definitely will go back to enjoy the incredible authentic Moroccan spice at this cuisine ????

The customer service here was super helpful in recommending dishes for us since it was our five time having Moroccan food. The dishes were at first seem pricey but their worth it. There very unique flavors then compared to the typically Mediterranean foods. I thoroughly enjoyed each dish and it’s uniqueness.The only thing I wished if it was indoor dining they weren’t allowing indoor dining so keep that in mind.I really enjoyed the service here thoughAnd 5/5 recommend.
Take out ONLY!
