Wally's Cafe (Emeryville)

U must must.....

Still a great spot for a healthy, filling a d delicious meal.

Good bang for your buck. The shawarma is decent...

We've ascended to the next level. Z is running around serving people but he finally manages to get you a complimentary bowl of freshly brewed lentil soup, I could've frankly had 4 bowls of that for dinner itself and dipped. Couldn't chose one dish so I snagged an entire vegetarian platter, not a bad bite was had. Falafel was freshly fried with delightfully vibrant green insides. Baba ghanouj was curried perfectly well (I could tell coz I can't stand eggplant and I finished every morsel of it), the hummus was irresistible, the tabouleh the freshest accompaniment. My date had the chicken shawerma and I could see why that's a local's favorite. Combined with their rice, each bite was an experience, the culinary journey the cooks and that kitchen must has gone through to enrich the dish so deeply is remarkable, combined with the depth of flavor in Mediterranean cuisine reflecting millennia of evolution. Their tzatziki and yogurts went along with everything well too. The hole in the wall nature just adds to the experience.

Best baklava in the bay area

We've been here many times in the few years we've lived in the bay area. It's where I take friends out family when they come in to town because the food is just THAT GOOD!!

This place is awesome and hidden away! We never noticed it. I almost don't want to say too much about it because then it'll get full of people and we won't be able to get a table! The server was super nice, the coffee was great. the food was spectacular and free baklava came with our bill! Really best Levabese food I've had in a while. yum.

The primary employee was so nice and friendly. The food was delicious. I wanted to order everything. Guess I'll have to go back. Generous portions.
