Best Indian/Pakistani food in the area. The scenery is nothing to write home about, but the food and the staff are delightful. We often get food to go there and enjoy it in the park or at home.

Drinks & Nightlife
While Bottles is listed in "Food Scene" I feel compelled to also list it here as we were first introduced to Bottles as our local tap room offering the finest selection of local CA beers. There's a quaint and funky bar in the back with a rotating cast of of 6 beer taps. I've never tasted the same beer twice during the 2+ years I've been going to bottles. The beers are always interesting and often higher alcohol IPA's or other speciality beers you won't find on tap anywhere else. Get to know the folks there and order some delicious food from the kitchen that just opened up!

This is an interesting dive bar few know about beyond the regular and colorful local crowds. Thursday nights there's usually a band churning out some hits or karaoke.

Before we moved to Woodsy we lived in Oakland for 5 years. It's got everything you'd want--great food, bars, parks, nightlife, etc. Grab a BART and have a blast. A couple of highlight areas--Temescal neighborhood off of the MacArthur BART stop, Jack London Square off the 12th St. BART stop, the beautiful Lake Merritt off the Lake Merritt BART stop and so much more!
