During your Oakland vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Lotus Cuisine of India
A elegantly lush, light-filled space a profusion of greenery and murals, this is a popular spot for locals of all stripes to have a great meal served by a personable, attentive wait staff. House specials include authentic, meticulously prepared kebabs, Tandooris, Biryanis and curries made with chicken, seafood, beef, lamb or vegetarian-style. Traditional Galub Jamun, house-made ice cream, and a rich and creamy milk pudding made with fragrant Basmati rice as well as a selection in Indian beers and local wines (a good bottle starts at $8) rounds out the meals here.
Herb's Fine Foods
In a city of gourmet restuaurants and Nouvelle Cuisine, this is one of the last of a disappearing breed: the neighborhood diner. No frills, no reservations, no credit cards, just good, inexpensive breakfast and lunch classics. The service is friendly and quick, and the portions are substantial. The Eggs Benedict or eggs and country sausage are two of the breakfast favorites, but everything's good. Even the biggest food snobs will confess that this is a favorite breakfast and lunch spot, which is probably why it is often hard to find a table.
Oriental Seafood Restaurant
Cantonese-style cuisine is served at this spacious eatery. Seafood is the specialty and the preparation is both authentic and delicious, whether it is a crab and corn chowder that is thick and rich, or a plate of sizzling scallops in a delicate wine sauce. During peak hours and especially on weekends, the place is packed, mostly with locals and their families, but a fair number of fans of this style of cooking trek across The City to sample it here. The service is quick from a wait staff that is personable.
