Shewhat Restaurant is a gem in Oakland! 🌟

The vibrant atmosphere feels like an extension of home, with the mother-chef and her daughter making you feel welcome. I highly recommend the Mushroom Tibs - absolute perfection! The veggie sambusas are crispy on the outside and fluffy inside - a must-have!

I loved the abbey's veggie combo with red lentils and okra. Just a hint of spice, perfect for kids too. Don't miss the honey ginger tea for a delightful finish! Definitely planning to return for more... 🍽️✨
