In Short – Wall-sized windows and outdoor seating highlight this waterfront restaurant, which caters to a primarily middle-aged, ethnically diverse crowd. The menu features Afghan dishes like grilled kabobs and qabili--barbecued lamb shank with rice, carrots and raisins on the side--as well as American favorites like steak, salmon and Caesar salad. The charcoal-broiled kabobs are the house specialty, and diners get a choice of vegetables, meats and seafood. Shrimp marinated in tangy vinegar is especially popular.
Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- Take Fido out to dinner on the dog-friendly outdoor patio, and then stroll together around Jack London Square.
- When to Go:
- On Friday evenings, the restaurant sometimes stays open late and is converted into a nightclub. Hip-hop and old-school R&B caters to the mostly over-30 crowd.

Don't Book A Birthday Party
by truenews at Citysearch
Though the location is great, the bathrooms are awful, even early in the night and bar service is terrible. They don't staff well for Saturday nights and you wait 10-15 minutes to get a drink. They charge the same amount for wine as cocktails. no waitresses for table service during the nightclub hours and the production company (TreeTop) that they partner with for private events is terrible with service (though they have a great website) all they want is the most $$ in a night. They charge different amounts for entry in one night, while refusing to honor guest passes. No control of the line for entrance to the club, it pertrudes all the way into the parking lot, while interferring with parking lot traffic. Your lucky to have a good time, if you can make it through all the chaos...and hopefully get a drink without having to wait in the crowd at the only bar.
- Pros: great location and pretty good food
- Cons: Dirty bathrooms, terrible service
