"A second location of SoMa counter-service restaurant Dabba, whose first location opened in July 2016, will arrive in the Marina at 2240 Chestnut on June 11, taking over the former Seed + Salt space. Dabba, whose kitchen is helmed by former Spruce executive chef Walter Abrams, is named for the Hindi word for lunchbox and inspired by Mumbai’s lunch delivery system. But it’s not just Indian in its flavors according to CEO Andy Mercy. “Our spices are about 50 percent Indian and 50 percent everything else,” he said last fall, with recipes adapted from — and credit given to — Marin County favorite Avatar’s." - Caleb Pershan
