Here Are the Hottest New Restaurants in the East Bay, January 2024

"Afghan food now has a home on College Avenue with the debut of Saffron Kitchen, which has taken over the former Golden Squirrel pub space. Try the mantu, the restaurant’s dumplings made with ground lamb and topped with a yogurt-based sauce, or the combination kabobs to get a sampling of the chicken and beef skewers. It’s also worth mentioning that the menu is vegetarian-friendly, with plenty of options for plant-based diners." - Dianne de Guzman
