Time: Thursday, June 4th, 7:30 pm Place: Paradise Cafe 1350 Grant Road Mountain View Description: Paradise has a large number of meat dishes (beef, lamb, chicken) but also has a variety of vegetarian offerings. Rice is included with virtually every dish, but the meat dishes do not include vegetables. Some of the rice offerings are flavoured with a variety of interesting choices, for example, sweet and sour cherries. They do have grilled tomatoes available as a side dish, but I was not impressed with the tomatoes the last time I was there - they tasted overripe. Their kabobs are wonderful - get the chicken/sirloin combination. Also, they offer two Persian sherbets, mint (sekanjabin) and cherry - these are drinks, not desserts, and they're very nice. Entree prices range from $9 to $15. Kebabs and rice dishes tend to be at the low end of the range. Kabuki was last at Paradise on August 13th Directions: Short: Paradise is at the corner of Phyllis and Grant in Mountain View; Grant road turns into 237 as it crosses El Camino heading towards the bay. Public Transit: Paradise is mere blocks from El Camino on Grant Road. Your best bet is to take CalTrain down the peninsula (if you're starting in/near SF), and then walk to El Camino (away from the bay) from the Mountain View train station, and take the 22 (El Camino) bus to Grant road (away from SF), and then walk the several more blocks to Phyllis (again, away from the bay). Long: From the East bay, take 880 south to 237, then 237 west until it turns into a city street (Grant Road). You will pass El Camino (its large and well marked), and there will be the proverbial minimall on your left. The next actual intersection will be Phyllis; turn right and turn into the parking lot next to the restaurant. From the City or Mid-Peninsula, take 101 south to Moffet Blvd. Turn toward the ocean onto Moffet, and continue through downtown Mountain View to El Camino. Turn left and continue on El Camino to Grant. Turn Right, pass the aforementioned mini-mall, and turn right and into the lot next to the restaurant. [review by jdickinson] -RichardT
