I can't for the life of me remember who told me about this place, but I have to say, I wish they hadn't. I grabbed lunch here with a friend and though the guy working the counter was very friendly, the food was bland. I ordered some kind of pumpkin special which consisted of two tiny fried pumpkin balls (the dough was made out of pumpkin) stuffed with who knows what. With that you got a whole lot of runny humus and some kind of parsley salad (which made me a bit nauseous while eating it). All this came with a pita that could have easily come from Giant Eagle...last week.
With so many options in the Oakland area (think: Spice Island!), this was a total let down. I don't go over to eat here too often, so it was a shame that this was so disappointing.
