"The Golden Squirrel pub in the Rockridge neighborhood of Oakland has closed and taking its place is Saffron Kitchen. The space has been entirely remodeled, and it’s now an Afghan restaurant with white tablecloths and a full bar. There's a long menu of dishes like mantu filled with ground lamb, salmon kara’e, and beef qurma, plus a small selection of vegetarian entrées like sautéed eggplant and butternut squash.
