Holy Land Restaurant
Mediterranean restaurant · Trestle Glen
677 Rand Ave, Oakland, CA 94610
"This tiny Israeli restaurant near Lake Merritt is probably best known for its soul-warming matzo ball soup and its garlicky falafel (also available in delicious sandwich form), but the sleeper hit of the menu might be the everything-but-the-kitchen-sink Israeli sandwich known as the sabich: hummus, tahini, soft fried eggplant, chunks of hard-boiled egg, and bright cucumber-and-tomato salad, all loaded until overflowing into a warm pita. Wash it down with a glass of Holy Land’s excellent icy mint lemonade." - Luke Tsai
"There are few things more refreshing than the mint lemonade at Oakland’s Holy Land, an Israeli spot probably best known for its excellent falafels and matzo ball soup." - Eater Staff
