Wally's Cafe
Lebanese
The red and green sign is easy to miss from San Pablo Ave, but regulars know to look. This Lebanese diner has a U-shaped counter and an endearing no-fuss quality that suits heavily spiced shawarma and kafta, served on combo plates with rice, garlic sauce, tzatziki, and brothy lentil soup. The baba ghanoush is flame-roasted and worth the detour. Picnic tables out front if you prefer sky to ceiling.

Combo plate
“The combo plate ($24) lays out Wally’s strengths: You pick two meats (go with shawarma and kafta), and it comes with rice, tangy garlic sauce, cooling tzatziki and a side of brothy lentil soup.”

Falafel
“Crucial additions to consider are the crunchy falafel ($6) and the exquisite, flamed-roasted baba ghanoush ($10).”
