A popular restaurant in Aurora is closing for repairs after a kitchen fire was extinguished Sunday morning.

While the exact cause of the fire near East Colfax Avenue and Chambers Road is yet to be determined, fire investigators said it started in the kitchen and that the restaurant will close.

The duration of that closure wasn't immediately clear and attempts to reach CoraFaye's Cafe's owners were unsuccessful Sunday afternoon.

The cafe was featured in the 'Timeless Traditions' episode in season 17 of Guy Fieri's popular show, 'Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives.'
