    Fried catfish and peach cobbler waffles (top), fried chicken and peach cobbler waffles with peach butter and berry butter (bottom)
    Kendra W.

    Came here with a friend on 11/24/24! She found this place on IG and boy am I glad she did! What we ordered: - Fried Catfish and peach cobbler waffle - Fried Chicken and peach cobbler waffle with peach butter and berry butter Let me just start off by saying everything was so delicious! If you looked up " slap yo momma good" in the dictionary Chef LaLa's face would be right there because her food was so good that if she was my momma I would have to slap here lol jk jk. But it was honestly some of the best quality chicken and waffles I have ever had! She has set the bar above high! The place is super small so you definitely need to go ahead and make a reservation to be sure you get in. Everyone is really nice and they all help one another out which is great. I will definitely be bringing my husband here the next time we are available on a Sunday! Now that I can see it's only open on Sunday we will be making reservations soon!

    This food tastes like down south. From the grits, catfish, sweet potatoes French toast, baby food was delicious. The service was on point waiter was very helpful, knowledgeable, and honest. Dj jam good music, it was a Sunday vibe. Have to keep this on go to list.

    Came for a last minute brunch. The catfish and waffles tasted great, and a mimosa helped to wash it down

    The food is amazing. The only take away is that they're only open on Sunday's and the presentation is also top tier

Chef Mona Leena Michael, formerly at Dyafa & Serpentine, runs this pop up of Palestinian food with dishes like Squash Blossom Manousheh and Arabi Deviled Eggs (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-manaeesh-lady-oakland?select=8j0S5AEOS9aoB0d8kWQZIA). The Manousheh is thicker than ones I've had before with a delightfully chewy and flavorful crust (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-manaeesh-lady-oakland?select=_vheJjhLZW5A6Vd0Wua-sQ). The egg yolk on the Squash Blossom Manousheh added a breakfasty taste . . . I would have liked more Aleppo peppers. Similarly the zhug in the Labneh needed a bit more kick (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-manaeesh-lady-oakland?select=XSkNpoiKMdXYX1R-5ZwJxQ), but was pretty tasty along with the Sumac Pita Chips (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-manaeesh-lady-oakland?select=5GI3nN5ncaT6HvtKEwUL9A). Those nits aside, this was some of the better street food I've had in a while and the two ladies who helped me where super friendly. I got my food to go, but you can enjoy it with a cocktail at The Libertine's parklet next to the pop-up space. If you squint, you can see the table top cookware they make the manousheh in (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-manaeesh-lady-oakland?select=2WICMHXyr2HPKMso0Z9Z_g).

Their website link isn't working and they haven't posted on IG since October of 2024. Hopefully they are still open because I loved my experience there! I happened to go when they had a BTS pop up, so I received some BTS cupholder sleeves, which I can tell a lot of BTS fans were super excited about. There were a few vendors selling art and hancrafted (some BTS themed) goods. It was really cool and festive. Was really looking forward to getting the ube cocktail at the bar, but they didn't have them that day. There is seating indoors and outdoors (shaded, under tents) so it was nice and airy. I loved the Noodle Belly noodles, sugar mama sugar cane drink, and Korean hodduk from Sammy's. Everything was great, but I think my favorite item was the noodles! Every vendor and bar staff were super friendly, great customer service.

    Wow wow wow wow. Ok I'm not even joking when I say I've been trying to get to this pizza for years…read more Pizza Mason popped up a couple years ago and already has a little bit of a cult following. But the difference is, the is one is definitely worth the hype. The pie is thin crust and crispy but also bubbly. The sourdough crust also just takes this pie to a whole other level. The ingredients are so tasty and fresh. And I absolutely love the butter and parm finish on the crust too. This is a pie you have to try when you're in the bay! It is a bit hard to get though. They only open shop on Sundays and you have to reserve a pie and time when the ordering system opens up on Fridays at noon PT. All spots are usually gone in a few hours so don't be late! After grabbing the pie you can grab a drink next door at Dokkabier or you can do like me and take your perfect pizza to the nearby Oakland Coliseum to catch an As game

It's a mix of different styles - light soft bubbly exterior crust from a neopolitan, some Sicilian, thin crust of a Brooklyn, maybe some New Haven in there as well. Honestly I don't know what this style is but it's perfect. Today we had their specialty called Dead Queen which was their margherita plus spinach and mushroom - the best toppings we could as for and it was perfect. Generous size but we devoured this pizza quickly between the two of us and could have had more. Can't wait to try their other flavors in the near future. Hype is real, hope the quality persists.
