From Citysearch

In Short
Iraqi and Eastern European specialties at this small, bejeweled Berkeley favorite feature vegetables and herbs plucked from the restaurant's own half-acre garden, blended with exotic spices like sumac, cardamom and coriander. The results are impeccably fresh, fragrant, Mediterranean-style platters, grilled lamb, chicken and vegetable dishes. Meats are free range, breads fresh baked, and all dairy and oils are organic.
