@eater

"Located a block from the Fox Theater, this Egyptian café is an Oakland gem. Open until 2 a.m. every day, this snug hole-in-the-wall joint serves up a focused menu of freshly grilled proteins available inside a wrap or as a plate. All the offerings are solid, but if you ask, they’ll recommend the most popular option, the chicken rice plate with a generous portion of chopped grilled chicken that sits atop seasoned rice and comes smothered in their signature creamy, tangy white sauce. And if you have any doubt, get the knafeh for dessert — you won’t regret it." - Lena Park
