Come early to get a table, or get take-out, either way you're in for a treat. Generous portions, unusual offerings. more

One of my favorites when I'm in the East Bay - it's worth the wait (which will probably be the case if you're dining on a Friday or Saturday evening). Although I'm not vegetarian, I find the food and drinks to be extremely tasty! more

I thought this was quite simply the worst meal of my gastronomic life. The vegetables were overcooked; the sauces were tasteless; the portions were small. To say I was disappointed would be a gross understatement. more
