Our story
A neighborhood kitchen
Saboor has cooked for Alameda for a quarter century. Angela's is his kitchen: Afghan dishes he grew up with, Mediterranean braises and grills, and the produce of Northern California — organic, local, naturally raised, bought from growers he knows by name.
Everything is cooked in small batches: lamb braised until it falls apart, kofta charred on the flat-top, eggplant roasted until it turns sweet. Restaurant cooking, priced so you can eat it on a Tuesday.

What they’re writing about us
“Pound for pound, it might just be the best restaurant in Alameda.”
“The most satisfying yet — pulling together European techniques, Afghan flavors, and Mediterranean ingredients.”
“Afghan flavors filtered through the lens of old-school French cooking techniques — tastier and more ambitious than just about anything else nearby.”
