REVIEW: SABA CAFE, Albany (Yemeni-Palestinian)
Saba Cafe & Hookah Lounge is on the 2nd floor up a steep flight of stairs above the Saba al Yemen (formerly Sheba al Yemen) on Central Ave. With a cafe menu of coffees, pastries and smoothies it is family friendly by day, and a hookah lounge with monthly events during the evening.
REVIEW: TAQUERIA TREN MAYA, Green Island
This unassuming strip mall taqueria behind a gun range in Green Island is a riot of color and flavor from the menu boards on the wall to the broad menu spanning chilaquiles, tacos arabe, carne asada, ceviches and tacos de cachete (beef cheek).
REVIEW: UMANA YANA, Albany
The vibrant Umana Yana embraces global cuisines with Afro-Caribbean dishes and the area’s only Ethiopian stews and injera bread. Serves global wines and wine-based or non-alcoholic cocktails with optional CBD shots.
