"The Afgan newcomer in Uptown Oakland, from the team behind nearby Parche, benefits from a stunning location — the ground floor of the Kissel hotel — which comes with dramatically arched, large windows. To add to the beautification, the ceiling is smartly outfitted, creating an unexpected focal point. The menu is a worthy attraction, too, with rare and excellent dishes like bolani, duck confit dumplings, and a selection of kabobs." - Flora Tsapovsky
