Funny, i was actually going to mention this to you in my original post.
I'm not a big fan of curry, or indian food in general, but the pizza is ****in amazing. I'm sure they make normal pizza too. If someone put the Chicken Tikka in front of you, you'd never know it came from an indian pizza parlor lol.
Give it a try!

Amazing, but puts you straight to sleep after so much meat. I recommend Memphis Mini's in the Haight over gorilla bbq though.

OMG, you guys have royally screwed me... Now I'm trying to organize a day trip to SF with my wife just so I can try out a couple of those sushi places (especially Sebo)... Of course my wife doesn't know about my ulterior motive.

Sushi = best food EVER.

I do like creative rolls and americanized plates that a lot of local places have... I don't care about how "authentic" a place is, all i care about is that it's FRESH and tastes damn good with texture being an important factor as well. With that being said, one of the things I care most about is sheer quality of fish... You simply CANNOT have good sushi if the fish isn't exceptionally fresh... You just can't.

With that being said, I can't wait to try out sabo!


To all the folks that have been to Sabo, is there anything you can recommend? I'm a huge fan of tuna (all varieties, including the outrageously expensive Toro, which is like crack to an addict for me), Unagi, and well, basically EVERYTHING except for mackerel... Ug, I hate mackerel so much... Worst fish in existence. I also can't tolerate salmon eggs (the big red fish eggs). It's not the taste, it's the texture that really kills me. *barf*

There is a spot off of Fremont Blvd. Afghan food. It's on Yelp, I think in Union City. I heard it's THE spot for Kabob's. Too many 5 stars to not give it a try. And it really is almost the hole in the wall! So you might drive by it a few times before you finally find it. But I heard the food is superb for a cheap **** price!
