Sandwiches named after cartoon/comic characters. Comic themed and comics for sale. There is a sweets and coffee shop inside also called Scoop N Chill. Restroom available for customers which closes about 30 min before the shop closes. BART station is underground for easy access. Got there about 7pm and it wasn't very bust so quiet and relaxing. There is a "lounge" area right outside the entrance.

I don't really enjoy writing negative reviews of restaurants, especially smaller businesses but…read moretoday's visit to Crave really left a bad taste in my mouth. One of my biggest pet peeves is when restaurants reduce the guality or quantity of their meal to cut costs while charging premium prices. I will say I didn't mind paying a few dollars more for their subs in the past. I went there today for the first time in a couple of years, ordered a regular size basic ruben sandwich (no add-ons) and was ok paying nearly $18 dollars for just the sandwich until they handed it to me. what I got was a small 6" sub. When did their subs shrink?? in this economy we are all struggling. I get it, things cost more but Craves' owner is not doing his patrons a service by charging them premiums while cutting back on the meals. If you're ok paying that much for a shrunken sub, more power to you. I l, however, will not be going back there.

The staff was friendly, and the food itself was okay. I'd give it a three out of five The only concerning part was the tabbouleh that came with the falafel plate. It had a flavor that reminded me of raw fish, which stood out even more since I also ordered the salmon kabob plate. I didn't really care for the falafels either. On the positive side, the hummus was delicious, and everything else was pretty good.Overall, it's probably a 50/50 chance that I'd give this place another try, especially since I have other solid options for this type of cuisine. Still, I'd recommend giving it a shot, everyone's taste is subjective, and your experience might be different.

Theres a few tables out front but if you get lucky enough to get a parking spot close, just bust that ho open and throw down on the trunk. Menu is halal and options are extensive. Fried Chicken Sandwiches are good as are the wings but my go to is the Beast Mode cheesesteak or the Prince Of Berkeley, can't go wrong either way. 4/5 always good especially late night Bonus: if your here late night you might as well check kingpin up the block and see if they've got hot donuts. You are welcome

This place is great for families and very reasonably priced for the high quality of food. The place is charming with a terrace out back and the World Cup game in tonight. They have live music Friday nights and a host of other events all month. Check the calendar in the hall by the patio. I highly recommend!

There's no parking lot so street parking is your best friend, keep in mind Berkeley is notorious for giving out parking tickets so keep an eye out on the meters or 2 hour parking signs. They have a nice outdoor seating area with a big patch of grass as well as some seating inside. You order outside and pick up your food when the pager they give you, goes off. I highly recommend their milkshakes. I went mango and the guy was nice enough to tell me and get me extra mango, free of charge because otherwise it's just a mild mango. Thank you for that suggestion. Also quick tip, if you are lactose intolerant, get their non dairy option and it will taste the same as a regular milkshake. It's really good. No matter what you get, you can't really go wrong. You can just tell by the line they have out the door. The service was relatively quick and please please please clean up after yourselves when you're done. There's trashcans around to throw your garbage and put your tray on top.

Aside from that, I got burgers and fries. A double cheeseburger at that. I love double cheeseburgers, but this one was too much meat and ingredients and not enough solid bread. The bread was really thin and didn't really combine well with the ingredients because it started falling apart. It was my first time and I tried it because it's down the street from a property. I manage and thought I'd give it a shot. This may be a place where the appetizers and sides are more my speed. Will try again maybe with a single patty burger and maybe try a hotdog and some sides. Great cashier and great attitude overall for the establishment. Love the energy.

Located on 4th Street, it's def worthy of checking out during a lovely summer weekend afternoon. I noticed they have happy hour weekly, and the market opening around 10:30a and Chaat around 11a. They have daily specials, and also many kiddo friendly dishes too. Coined "The SF Bay Area's Original Indian Street Food Restaurant", we had such a fun time exploring foods and fare we've never had before. For the market, you can also shop online for delivery/curbside delivery. Food-wise we tried the Vada Pao (fried potato patty in a bun), a Kids Cheese Dosa (served with coconut chutney and tomato chutney), a Mango Lassi, and their signature chicken wrap. Everything was so flavorful and fresh. Nice staff, vibrant atmosphere, plenty of parking in/around Vik's Chaat, and pro-tip: take a nice walk around the area post-meal. We will definitely come back to try more from the menu and maybe next time even come home with a few market items. That coconut chutney..yum!

Then again, it's Berkeley, so that's not exactly surprising. One thing I really like is the attached market. It's nice being able to grab chutneys, spices, or bags of garbanzo beans while you're there. The ample parking is also a huge plus, which isn't always easy to find in Berkeley. My biggest complaint is the lack of ice. No ice water, no iced chai, nothing. It's a small thing, but on a warm day it definitely stood out. Overall, good food, convenient parking, and a fun market attached make it worth a visit. Not an every week place for me, but a nice option when I'm in the mood.
