Dyafa Announces New Consulting Chef Mona Leena Michael After Reem Assil’s Departure - Eater SF
"Dyafa, located in Jack London Square, Oakland, was opened by Chef Daniel Patterson and his Alta Group. It showcases Palestinian and Syrian food. Initially led by consulting chef Reem Assil, the restaurant is now being guided by Palestinian-American chef Mona Leena, who is focusing on refining and modernizing the menu with a more seasonally-driven approach, celebrating California's bounty while maintaining its roots in traditional Palestinian fare." - Caleb Pershan

"Dyafa, an extension of Reem Assil's casual Fruitvale bakery offers Arabic dishes and earned a place on the James Beard semifinalist list for Best Chef: West." - Ellen Fort
A combination of history and modern tone in here. Stroll along the harbor, read a book with Jack London on the bench or grab some good food on the side, great place to spend the afternoon !

One of my favourite places when I am in Oakland is Jack London Square. There is safe and clean, bunch of nice restaurants and cafes. Also, I always enjoy the Marin view.

One of my favorite places to go. Lots of parking nearby. It’s in Oakland but police is always here to watch. No worry about crime only this area. If you walk outside, it’s different story

We visited to pass time before our train during a Monday afternoon. It was very peaceful with unexpected historical landmarks.
