"Golden Squirrel pub in Oakland has flipped into Afghani Saffron Kitchen, the Mercury News reports. The new restaurant, located at 5940 College Avenue, serves “Afghan food blended with the flavors of the Mediterranean and Silk Road,” per the outlet. That means dishes such as eggplant pakora, potato bolanis, and kabuli pulao, which is sometimes called the national dish of Afghanistan." - Lauren Saria
