Gather serves healthy, fresh, local ingredients with a gourmet twist. We were very impressed with the high quality and delicious food presented at this well-praised Berkeley restaurant. The service is superb as is the management. I'm only sorry there's not one like this in my town!
Favorite Dish: Everything was delicious!

Seeing as how I am Ethiopian (and Eritrean) food's bigger fans, I pride myself...yeah yeah yeah...okay enough of that. So I have been to several Ethiopian restaurants. And for the most part they are all the same, serving similar styled food and of course, presentation as well.
The Blue Nile's style of food is much different and more unique than the Ethiopian I am used to. Whereas the other restaurants are more showy it seems, The Blue Nile appears to be more of a homestyle cooked meal. The restaurant is interestingly decorated and fun to be in. The portions are HUGE, and it's an Ethiopian restaurant that is definitely worth checking out. But be forwarned, if you are a regular at Ethiopian restaurants, this one will be different than you have experienced before.

Specializing in fresh organic pasta. I've always had great food here. Really friendly folks, good service. They don't have a liquor licence, so they offer you wine for free with your tasty lunch.
Only open from 11:30 to 2:30
Favorite Dish: mmmm... raviolli is always a big favorite. Meat sauce with lamb is tasty too.

Recommended by my GT friend, who spent a whole semester as an exchange student at UC Berkeley. This restaurant's been voted the "Best" for 10 years in a row!! Anyhow, this is not a first-class 5-star dining place, instead, a very decent and casual setting. It's a fast-food, self-service style, with choices of pizzas, pastas, calzones and salads.
*This place gets crowded during kids' lunch break and on weekends*
Favorite Dish: Everything we ordered was good and tasty...

This taqueria in Berkeley has two locations; on Center street near downtown, and up on College Ave. in the Elmwood district. They serve a variety of taqueria fare, international-flavored burritos and tacos, quesedillas, and tortas. Their nachos are incredible, it is a huge place piled high with all the goodies. And the horchata is terrific. Carlos is the head chef up at the College Ave. one, and he is a great guy. Say hi and give him a smile.

This places serves awesome burritos, tacos, and more. They do the usual chicken, etc., but it is worth your time (and tastebuds) to explore the more traditional fare they offer. A chicken mole burrito. Nopales y pollo. Mole poblamo. Just writing this makes me hungry. Their prices are reasonable, and their guacamole is excellent.
Don't forget to try the salsa bar... it has about 15 different salsas every day, from strawberry to garlic to XXX hot.

Well, being italian i know what real pizza is and how it should taste. But I am naturally crazy for it, whatever way you make it just as it tastes good, so I must say that Blondies pizza slices are really good and tasty and the topping quality was ok too. Must come back!
