Gretta Outside The Box

Berkeley is stuffed with fantastic restaurants, and these are just a few good ones, all near Shattuck and University for lunchtime convenience. 1. Lucky House (Thai and Laotian) - does a fantastic Ginger Tofu Vegetables dish with brown rice for $6!!! 2. Biryani House (Indian) - check out their vegetable biryani and nan bread - you get good portions of food for under $6 but watch out for bits of cinnamon stick etc. in their biryani - makes for mindful eating... 3. People's Cafe (Mediterranean) - does a mean toasted bagel with avocado and also their chicken caesar salad with pita is great. 4. Sushi Ko (Japanese) is great for bento boxes with 2 or 3 choices eg tempura, chicken teriyaki and california roll - you get miso soup, salad and rice with it!
